What small vintage speakers are in your collection?

Does 30 yr. old time frame rate the definition "vintage" ?

If so, then my still in daily use (but now L/R normal use in this room`s stereo, w/a sub.) Mc. XR-1 bookshelf speakers bought in 1991 for my selected improv center channel speaker, being they had the same tweeters as my living room`s 1990 purchased, Mc. XRT-22 speaker system`s tweeter line arrays, thus providing center ch. HF timbre matching for that speaker system.
 
Mmmmmmmmm, Scott S-100 Omni directionals running off a Halfer DH-200 and Nobsound NS10P running 5456W's. TIDAL and iFi Zen DAC.

Angstrom Legato and Advent Mini. Advent were from Salvation Army store for $5, needing a re-foam.
Angstrom from a Goodwill for $35. The Angstrom do sound pretty nice.
 
Last post I made included modern speakers...misread the thread title :D

Only "small vintage" speakers I have in my collection are these Ultralinear CARponents from March of 1978. They're about the size of a DVD cover and sound pretty darn good.

422B2E59-DB6B-46EA-802F-CCD9F2FD3E3A_1_105_c.jpeg Are Boza k B 313 speakers with a 12" woofer 6 inch midrange and two tweeters in a 3 cu ft box considered small? The are my side speakers for my HT system. The bed room has some 801 Bostons in the wall. 8" woofer 1.25 inch tweeter. Is that small? The other speakers are many times the size of the 313's. Rear 10 cu ft, center, also. Front Speakers 17 cu ft. The Stereo speakers are line arrays and are 78 inches tall and 14 inches wide. Small just doesn't work for me.

"Small vintage", I believe was the OP`s thread intent, Twiiii, Sir. !!
Those speaker look pretty big, my A/K Texas, friend !
 
AR-4x (owned since new ~1973), AR-7. Neither pair currently in use, both need some attention. Some kind of small Boston Acoustics as test speakers for various things I buy and sell. Some kind of small Design Acoustics, in storage. Klipsch KG-2.2 (not sure they qualify as vintage yet) in my kitchen system.
 
AR4X to go with Sansui 2000X, Sansui SP-30 to go with Sansui 200 (smallest Sansui speakers to go with smallest Sansui receiver), Wharfedale W25 to go with Sansui Six, and Realistic Nova Six to go with Allied 490.
 
Keepers: Linn Index Plus, Goodmans MinisTer, Polk Monitor 5B, NHT Super Zero

"Trying to get rid of" pile: Infinity Alpha 20, Paradigm Phantom, Audio Pro A2.14 Live (blown tweeters - anyone have a pair?)
 
I have Goodmans Maxims (the1990s version that were effectively Maxim 4s but never named thus), Goodmans M100s, Alexander 566 and Yamaha NS-1000MMs

I also have Truvox LS120s which are like an original 1960s Goodmans Maxim (small, sealed, heavy!) but have Celestion drivers but these will be up for sale soon.
