Oh, boy..where to begin..
First, I think it is absolute bunk that a speaker "does" rock or jazz or classical or not. It is a transducer. It simply reproduces electrical signals. Speakers "do" music.
I will give you that a medium room is ok. Nothing larger.
I NEVER said the 50's were bright or harsh. I simply said that it was easy to identify the driver material. That is a fact. It DOES have a sound. ALL driver material does, it is just to what degree it is audible.
You also need to be aware about coming off as a stuffy, snobby audiophile by saying one HAS to use tubes and vinyl.
I heard the 50's with support equipment costing TWENTY TIMES! the cost of the speakers, so I assure I know what their limits are.
Continuously comparing these speakers to ancient designs also does not bode well for your conclusions. I'm no Magic, MBL etc buff btw.
