Most systems being touted today as supposed hi-fi (piddly ass standmount with a 6 inch woofer or five piddly 6 inch woofers in an mdf cabinet with a metal tweeter (meh) can't even touch stuff like this from the 70s.
And the great thing about living in Hong Kong and Korea is that one doesn't need to try and "remember" what stuff sounds like - you can compare a modern B&W directly in the same room against an original Matrix series OR a Magico or Giya Directly against an Altec VOTT or classic Tannoy or one of these lovely old JBLS and you can hear quite quickly why people think a lot of modern speakers either outright stink or at the very least lost some charm or the dreaded term "musicality" along the way.
The trouble with terms like better is that it doesn't really exist. A modern very good speakers will have advantages - but that doesn't write off the fact that there are simply "inherent" advantages to any given speaker design approach. A big multiway from 1975 will do things the best single driver speaker today can't do. It's the nature of the designs.
How many pre 80-s systems get 275,000 youtube hits? My only issue with the video is that it would likely sound 50 times better if they got rid of the Mark Levinson mediocrity for a good SE tube amplifier and competent r2r ladder no oversampling CD player - or better vinyl. But so it goes.
