Your definition of old and mine are quite different. The 245i isn't that old. Now the Cerwin Vega D-7's I have, they are old, but I've refoamed them and they sound great (for Vegas). They take up alot of room in the bedroom, but help me sleep at night. Sooner or later I want to sell my Polk Rt55's (older than the 245i) so I can try to find some Paradigms for the living room. I want Paradigms so bad it hurts! I need to find someone to buy the Vegas so I can get some Cambridge s30's for the bedroom. By the way, I have JBL hls610's to sell. Also an Adcom GFA-2535 amp, and a JBL Synthesis SDP-1 that needs a new home. These are all probably too "old" for you though. Sorry.......
