Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

No, that's not my experience (at all), FWIW

Indeed, the two pair that currently live here (L-710 and L-470) are very happy* being driven by, e.g., push-pull EL84 amplification (ca. 12 wpc) and, in the case of the L-710, even single-ended 2A3 (3.5 wpc).

I really cannot say enough in praise of ads loudspeakers of the 1970s & 80s. I'd have bought a pair in 1978 when I bought the Polks, but were they not so expensive. At this late date, a pair of good ads loudspeakers is very affordable to vintage audio nutcases (like me!) and well worth seeking out and acquiring, in my hardly-humble opinion.

* Well -- THEY may or may not be happy, but I like what I hear! :-)
