Who is king of the vintage speakers?

[darkblue94]

I am thinking the OP has been around here enough to know. That questions like these have no answer. Always with these crazy outlandish threads he creates. This is about the same as starting a cable debate thread.

Maybe not as incendiary as the cable debate threads tend to go but most certainly just as pointless of an exercise. Best this? Best that?

 

[SoundsAlike]

I'll list my top 5

Ohm Walsh f
Kappa 9
Jbl sovereign s8r load
Ess Amt rock monitors
Kef 105

What are your thoughts on the 105 now?

 

[nolasally]

LLLOOOOVVEEE them! NFS

Altec Model 19's Best speaker I've ever heard. Certain JBL's and Magnepan come close.

"Kabuki"? Isn't that where several guys...err....ummm....you know?

It's Japanese musical theater.

I'm thinking whoever started it meant ō-daiko.

I'll stick with my Klipsch and call it a day. The King? To many variables to consider for only one to be crowned.
Speaker type, size, age, etc...

Panasonic Thrusters? by the way what happened to the OP who started this thread

As many Thrusters as were sold and are still around at the thrifts, they obviously are king. Hands down.

 

[Lesterbest]

The king is dead.

 

[Audio Fan]

Who is the King?..... ME!

I am now self anointed.

 

[darkblue94]

This thread is dead, actually it was stillborn to begin with.

What are your thoughts on the 105 now?

Best speaker I've ever heard or owned.

These are always fun threads. Forget about which is the best, worst, whatever. I always find these types of threads informational. If it wasn't for AK and a similar thread, when my 105.1s came along, I may have missed the opportunity.

Carry on!

Bose 901, hands down.

 

[the skipper]

Bose 901, thumbs down.

There, I fixed that for ya.

J/K I do respect the 901 when set up correctly.
