Big Speakers

back in the day it was a measure of your manhood

I have 2 sony's that are older than my daughter, do i have to ditch them ?

Yes I remember those; four feet high polished wood speakers with a tiny four inch diameter speaker inside.
And a piece of concrete inside to weight it down and make you think you were getting something for your money.

Why the big ones specifically?  Wish someone would bin John Bercow.

If the OP means 'hi-fi' 'speakers...I would say that much depends upon age, make, model and condition. Big 'speakers have certain advantages over smaller models. This works both ways, of course.

I have binned them, i doubt i will notice as i rarely get to turn them up full blast.
