Gone off the deep end....

At least that's my wife's opinion in general....

Oh yeah......I had to think quick and find somewhere to put them in a hurry....

Think my wife will notice?????....

Hey, Analog,

The tall ones for you and the short ones for 'The Little Woman'?

Might as well give her what she's used to.....

That's funny! I'm sure she'll never notice.

So tell us more about these things.

If you keep them hiding behind the china cabinet she will never notice

Looks to me like you're a single 1005/288 and pair of N500's away from a really nice pair of A5's.

......................... and don't tell me you're gonna put those big mantaray's on em, i want those!

lol!!!.....

My wife is pretty cool with audio habit, but she wouldn't let me do this....especially in the dining room.. Those 604's look great, what are you pushing yours with? Do you still have your "garage" system too?

So, what is a Vott cab loaded with 604's called anyway? Was it produced or was this an "in field" custom job?

AA you are a lucky dog coming up with all this Altec gear that you do. You
are just up the road from me as well.

I have never heard the 604s, how do they sound in that cabinet? I have a pair of EV 15trx, that i think sound pretty good in a marquis cabinet, about 9 cubic feet.

Well, I'm lucky that my wife is pretty tolerant, at least of my audio/Altec addiction. My girlfriend, not so much....

We are building a new house, and both she and I are mentally half way out the door, so I think she cares less. However, the next place will not have the audio gear scattered around it, but concentrated in my mancave.....

Soundwise, they sound great so far, but are picky as to the type of music you play through them. When auditioning them, Whitesnake from a CD-R did not sound good. Diana Krall and some acoustic guitar sound like melted butter and liquid sunshine mixed together....

Right now I'm running them with a Mc MX-110Z/45 SET amp. Some vinyl is on tap for today....

I noticed with my 604's it is not the type of music , but the quality of the recording...

Some sound downright different than what they used to sound....But in a good way.

Yes, next house is definitely gonna have my mancave...... Hoping here in a few more years to build one.

Have you figured what the size of your mancave is gonna be yet?
