[QUOTE="bigdwiz, post: 7484638, member: 626728"] As others have mentioned above, I think it is a matter of personal preference. I prefer old school speakers, amps and subs, but only if they are in good condition. It is getting more and more difficult to find the older gear NIB or MINT. I must say, after purchasing many, many old school amps off eBay, I've only had a problem with 1 or 2 (in contrast to gunz4me2's experience above). I'm an SQ guy, not a basshead so take my opinion for what it's worth. Now, I prefer the old school amps to collect, but given the $$, I'd take a JL HD 900/5 any day and use it in my daily driver. I just don't have a current need to switch as my 2002 RF Power 550x is still performing flawlessly (not really old school by my definition). It still amazes me to see a MINT or NIB old school amp...hard for me to imagine someone would spend all of that $$ for nice gear and never use it. Wait, isn't that what we collectors do?
