I think that both of the further posts are good points, but an old argument.
Yeah. So? :)
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.
Why? There is a huge body of recorded music out there which was recorded many many years ago and will be with us for many many years to come, and for many that music constitutes a good portion of the music they like most. So why would it be foolish to offer these people solutions which may give them the greatest amount of pleasure and enjoyment?
But if all you EVER want to listen to are old recordings, then yes, buy OLD Altecs!
Why must it be all or nothing?
I listen to modern recordings because they are so much better quality (DDD, etc.).
Great. If that's what does it for you, that's what you should go for. But for some people, their emphasis is on the music rather than the recording. And there's a huge body of recorded music out there that will never see the light of DDD.
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 hte same as each other and as the monitors.
Then certainly you have cause to be happy.
We are not there yet, but I, for one, am ceratinly not going to go backwards.
Well, I guess whether one is going forward or backward depends on where they're standing. :)
