It would be tempting to say that the signal that goes into a fine old vintage receive emerges smoothed over, flattened out and serving up the warm sound. Like a soggy buttered up syrup soaked pancake hot off the griddle. But I don't think that's the case.
I've recently landed on a vintage speaker (Crown C-8) that can do a decent job of music reproduction, after a long string of the "little darling" also rans. As a result some of these old receivers are finally putting out something to wax poetic about. In spite of having they're own "personality" they can really bring it. Maybe that's the attraction.
I was losing hope for a while. In old receivers and speakers. But no, I was wrong.
What I'm saying is if you have doubts about your old receiver you should look at your speakers, old or new. Before you toss your collectable.
And if you want to use old speakers don't pass on the Crown C-8
