You forgot to tell us that you need to check the foam surround of the vintage speaker. Foam breaks down over time whether the speaker has been coddled or abused.

The Law of Diminishing Returns also applies for watches. For example a £2000 Longines is at least 95% the watch of a £10,000 Rolex. And a £1100 Christopher Ward is 95% the watch of a £2000 Longines.

Emotiva b1plus. Gorgeous sound. Tried b2plus. And an earlier ub5. Garbage compared to b1plus. Xb2 probably would sound terrific.
