When will speakers be considered as vintage? at least 25yrs old?

According to Merriam Webster, the term "vintage" relates primarily to wine and is an altered form of the French word vendage, meaning "the grapes picked during a season."

From that definition we can say that the word "vintage" has been abused and misused from its original definition. However the term "vintage" when associated with things of value is anything more than 20 years old so in effect my National EAH-65 studio headphone which I got in mint condition is a vintage item because it was released in 1967.

Right vintage na nga yan bro.

Well yung iba kasi bro lalo na yung nagbebenta sa mga ibang sites mukhang luma lang vintage na kaagad to think that they don't even know when was it released.

Right now I have a Pioneer s-99t (1988), victor sx-55 (1977), denon bs (unknown model), a diy fs (dual mid/bass, dual dome tweeters, dual fullrange and a single horn tweeter per enclosure) and a victor sx-a103 bs. All of them sound great to my ears but my daily driver is the pioneer s-99t, the diy fs is tube friendly and has forward mids and crystal clear highs.

Most old or vintage speakers suffers that inevitable issue, foam rot.

A few years ago when I was just starting to put up my own audio setup I met a guy from the other site, he posted an ad for a printer to which I inquired. Eventually I picked up the unit, this guy is in his 50's and surprisingly he is into audio also. While having a little chat he told me he has a very simple setup, a Marantz 2252b paired it with a JBL 4430. I asked him if he's selling them, he answered yes, 20k for speakers alone and 15k for the marantz. If only I had enough money then I could have bought the speakers, sayang...

After browsing this thread I connected an Infinity RS4001 to my system last night... it has been a long while since I included the speaker in the rotation and YES... vintage speakers do really have a sound signature that is very relaxing and captivating.  :)
