Hey if any of you are in or around Dallas in May, please stop in at LSAF and listen to this big OB rig in my room.

It's a pair of good old Altec 605s with Eminence 18" helper subs. The 605 woofer/horn uses a passive crossover, the 18s are run by a plate amp. They were a big hit at LSAF '08. They belong to and were designed by forum member Manzanita. He will be at Lone Star this year with a new OB rig, so I'll have the 605 rig in my room.
The cool thing about this rig is how smooth it is and how loud it will play while staying smooth and clean.
I'll be running a number of different amps for fun, but mostly a very nice 300B SET from Grant Fidelity (they where nice enough to lend it to me) on the Altecs. 10 watts of SET on the mid/high of the Altec plus the grunt of the 18s with Class-D power should be a match made in heaven.
This is all just for fun, not selling anything. Just trying to let folks at the show hear what a
real speaker sounds like.
Lone Star Audio Fest is May 14, 15, 16 at the Embassy sweets in Dallas, Texas.
