I've got a Marantz PM6002 amp and would like some vintageish speakers that don't cost the earth. I would like them to work and not have to be replacing any components. I've been looking at Celestion Dittons and Wharfedales from late 70s. I don't know what I'm doing. Is this all a complete gamble and should I just buy new retro looking stuff? For example, will these be rubbish/trouble? Wharfedale Linton 3XP
Currently have B&W 685s which I don't find a relaxing listen and look a bit too sharp.
If you're gonna get some Dittons get a pair with passive radiators. They've got a floorstanding pair in Dreamhouse Records, and they sound amazing. The sealed enclosure type are a bit thin on bass, which is to be expected.
