There are several music enthusiasts who would prefer to listen to a pair of old-fashioned speaker systems or a vacuum tube amplifier designed some time inside the fifties versus so-called micro-processor driven, digital sounding pieces created today. Most likely one of the very best sounding old-fashioned audio systems could be the Tannoy Berkeleys. Tannoy also developed a speaker referred to as canterbury which has been awesome just as well. If you can find these at auction I would likely definately acquire a couple.
