fantastic speakers...we install these in some fairly high end theatre setups with audiophile clients and they are blown away....

Old school stuff for my stereo systems. I collect/maintain/upgrade vintage Dynaco components from the 60's and 70's mostly vacuum tube stuff but also have a decent amount of solid state pieces as well. I've managed to accumulate quite the collection and really only use a small percentage on a regular basis. Here's some pictures of my everyday setup.
It's all vintage vacuum tube powered Dynaco equipment:
Stereo 70 Amp
PAS-3X Pre Amp
FM-1 Tuner
and run through a pair of Focal/JM Labs 706 bookshelf speakers. It sounds pretty sweet , at least to my ears! IMHO there's nothing like that big full sound you get from vacuum tubes.
Woodcore....I have a vintage McIntosh setup including:
MC225 Power Amp:

It certainly pales in comparison to much here, but my first ever purchase of anything over a couple hundred bucks was my receiver + speakers, still going strong 15+ yrs later
onkyo tx-sv525
Infinity sm115
sherwood turntable (belt drive)
laptop + 1TB external drive (~650 GB full of lossy tunes)

Very Nice!! Your right, it is kind of funny how great this stuff still sounds being that it's 50+ years old.

mcintosh = 
old tube amps were built very, very well. For music, solid state technology can't compare and that goes for instrument amps as well. Tubes just add warmth that can't be reproduced with new technology. People pay BIG money for vintage Fender Twin Amps.

The retro stuff you guys have is awesome. I'm sure it packs one heck of a punch.
For home theater, 5.1+ is the way to go however.
