I find the people who prefer "vintage speakers" are usually people who prefer the deep, but hardly accurate, sound of speakers that had HUGE woofers built into them, as was popular for a while.

I'll admit, sometimes that can be a refreshing sound on rock music but I usually soon tire of it and I don't seem to like them for many other genres other than rock. Also, there is the wear and tear on the old paper and other lesser material cones that has to be carefully considered.

With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.
