In reading the many post on this forum , the word vintage appears many times to describe
what I would call average audio equipment , labeled here as vintage.
The American Heritage Dictionary defines vintage as :" Characterized by excellence , maturity, and enduring appeal ; classic."

It appears that most of the members of Audio Review definds all audio produced in the post 70's as vintage. I am very confused.
I was under the impression that only a few pieces of audio equipment could be classic or
have enduring appeal etc.

An example is Marantz receivers , made post 1970 by Superscope and not Marantz.
Marantz again never made a receiver or speakers. There was many companies that manufactured audio equipment prior to 1970 that I most certainly not call vintage.
I hope you get my point.
An excellent website and I really enjoy participating.
