I’ve seen a few of these over the years and I generally like the idea. Prices have often been too expensive though. Here’s a list of the ones I can recall. Feel free to add others as well as discuss the idea in specific or generally. I’d love to see a Nait 1 reissue because it’s a bit of a design classic. Naim would milk it though, I’m sure. Personally if you do a reissue, it need to be authentic, not a revamp. What does anyone else think?
I really don’t like using a name from a past legend to sell a new product. NAD 3020 springs to mind. It’s a reality that companies will do this thigh,
Hers are the ones I recall
Stirling LS3/5A Myst Tmr Onix OA21 Inca Tech Claymore Radford STA25 Various Snell
Probably loads more. What, if anything, would you like to see return?

Leak Stereo 20. Musical Fidelity A1. (Proper one) TDL Transmission Line. But not the RTL range though.

I would like to see Spica TC50s reborn, but it’s a near impossible task.
Firstly their looks would be out of the question today. You could always do what they did with the Angelus and make the bottom cabinet nothing more than an integrated stand, but then they wouldn’t be authentic.
You could buy twin subs to go with Spicas, so again a redesign to include them in the bottom cabinets would be possible. Still not original though.
Then you’d have to find wpequivalent drivers and design the crossover in the same way. Would you get anything worthy of the name? It would take a lot of skill and time.
I guess that sums up why reissues aren’t that common.
