RE: Old-school, and the quest for musical nirvana

I think modern tube amps are quite a bit superior to the vintage ones I have heard. I don't necessarily think speakers have truly improved all that much.

After hearing some vintage Western Electric movie speakers and some modern Western Electric replicas, I can say that there is some powerful and convincing sound to be had from these old designs that make most modern speakers, even big ones, sound rather emaciated...so I can relate to a lot of what this guy is saying...but not completely.

I think if you take the best from the past and mix with the best bits from today then you can find a truly convincing way to go.
