[sregor]

Fun thread. Didn't see Infinity servo-statics. B&W DM-70. Ohm A (Ohm F's were mentioned) Epicure (don't know model) Wharfdale 90.EV Sentry (IV?) Top of the Line Spendor. Chartwell. (and many others....)
(if any of these were mentioned, my apolgy)

I have 6 sets of speakers, My Pioneer CS-66e sound the nicest out of all of them

A few come to my mind:

KEF KM1 (yes they were available to the public - you just had to know who to ask!)
Yamaha FX-3
Pioneer Exclusive 2401
Yamaha NSx-1000 / NS-2000
Electro Voice Patricians or Georgians

I'll say. I noticed I had made a post in it.... back in 2011.

Never knew Grundig made anything like those monoliths.

As much as I liked those, these "smaller" ones are as impressive looking:

Epi / TOTL M1000.

Pound for pound- Electrovoice Interface D's are pretty darn good! I also like my Line Arrays.

What's the cutoff age for "vintage"?

Canton CA30 speakers (~$10k MSRP). The ones shown are actually the CA20, but they look pretty much the same. TOTL for Canton at that time, in the late 1980's. I've not heard them but did research one of the lesser models in that line (the CA15), and I can only imagine how they must sound...

Saw a pair of these at a customers house today. After wrapping up my work I asked the lady about them. She rolled her eyes and got tha look I'm all too familiar with from my girlfriend. Go ahead and check them out she said. WAF factor was low I guess. But she knew my type so she humored me.

Let's add Altec 14's and 19's.

Amen and M15's too.

Wouldn't mind hearing some KLH model 28's

ESS AMT6 anyone?View attachment 932439

The Transars should probably be at the top of the ESS heap. The 6 is pretty much just doubling up on ESS' shortcomings, kind of like the speaker stacking phenomena that's so popular on these pages.
