In Reply to: What is "Vintage"? posted by TheBrewmaster on July 31, 2014 at 23:13:10:
Antique is defined as anything over 100 years old, vintage is defined as anything old but not as old as Grandma and also can mean an item is of a certain period of time, that exhibits the best of a certain quality, or qualities, associated with or belonging to that specific era and retro, which is defined as old but not old enough to be called a vintage such as the retro looks of the 90's, which basically represents the style of the past.
So, yes Dynacos, McIntosh, Marantz, Audio Research, Dalquist DQ-10, Quad ESL 57 speakers...just to name a few can be considered vintage pieces in audio as all of them represents the best in certain quality offered in that era.
