Marty;
I agree with your assessment for the most part in that today's high end is better than the high end from the 50's & 60's, and crushes high end from the 70's.
Where it gets a little gray is when one is able to hear some hot rodded Western Electric gear driving some vintage field coils (heard that recently), or something similarly unobtanium.
I also heard a pair of Apogee Duetta Sigs driven by Krell - WOW!!!
I cannot recall ever hearing anything better. I have heard Krell in the past and have always come away scratching my head as to why anyone would waste their money, however, the Krell/Apogee combo was great. I don't know if was the music, the room, the wine, or what, but it was amazing! The speakers were according to the owner purchased in 1988 or 1989 - semi vintage???
Am I hearing the siren call of stats? I must stay strong and tell myself that it will only end badly.
Take care.
