I think that both of the further posts are good points, but an old argument.Altec's have not been used for recording in many many years, given this fact, one would be foolish to design to their sound today. But if all you EVER want to listen to are old recordings, then yes, buy OLD Altecs!
I listen to modern recordings because they are so much better quality (DDD, etc.). Today the monitoring loudspeakers are diverse, but they are all converging on one principle and that is low coloration and distortion, exactly the same things that I am after. Virtually all of the pro monitor guys are after the same things. In the end all high quality loudspeakers should (and probably will) sound the same as each other and as the monitors. We are not there yet, but I, for one, am ceratinly not going to go backwards.
