There are many music fanciers who'd opt to play a couple of classic speakers or maybe a vacuum tube av receiver built sometime within the 50s versus so-called micro-processor powered, digital sounding components made in the present day. Probably one with the best sounding collectible speaker systems are the Tannoy Berkeleys. Tannoy also created a speaker referred to as the canterbury that was awesome just as well. If you can locate these at auction I would likely without a doubt pick-up a pair.
