Calling All "Vintage" Speaker Owners

[red71rum]

Here is a pair of Magnepan SMGa that I got for near to nothing last year. I had them this close just for the picture, not how I had them set up: )

Pending the definition of vintage, my main setup consists of original mid 80’s Klipsch Fortes (no mods, nothing changed). These have stayed within the family their whole existence and have survived many moves — some moves more careful than others. They’ve seen the likes of many integrated amps and are humming at their best right now with a couple monoblocks.

Also was given a pair of Cerwin Vegas last year from the 70’s. Haven’t decided what to do with them yet.

My whole surround system is made up of Klipsch except for the sub Fortes are the main left and right. Really love the sound of the Klipsch with movies. This is also the system I use with sacd and DVD a music.

I bought the Klipsch Fortes in the 1980s and never had any issue with them. One of the best audio buys I made.

Here is my $20 Sansui 771 from FB marketplace. It is a nice little receiver, although one bulb was going sometimes, not always staying lit. I talked to some guys on AK and they mentioned the lamp socket needing re-soldering. I had not soldered anything since working at Namco Cyberstation in the '90s lol. Anyway, I borrowed my 13 yr olds soldering gun he had from a robotics class and re-soldered the lamp joint. I then went and bought cool leds, the incadescents had made burn marks on the plastic inside, the leds run cooler. Here is the my now fully functioning 771 -

It does, it is really great. I also got a TOTL Sony 7065 recently but that thing needs a new driver board. The speakers above are super easy to drive and sound great with this receiver, kind of like a poor man's Altec lol.
