Greetings All. I have recently retired, and as my first "project" I am going to build my own speakers! I've built a lot of Bottlehead, Audio Note Kits, and DIYHiFiSupply kits over the years, but never speakers. Years ago I had Altec 604-8G speakers in 620 cabinets. Never should have sold them, but we live and learn!

To keep things simple, I'm going to start out with a Duplex speaker--probably the GPA 604-8H-III. I have also seen that a crossover from Selah Audio is highly recommended rather than the stock crossover, so I'll probably contact them too.

As far as a cabinet goes, I think I will either attempt Billfort's cabinet or a Stonehenge V. Todd: if you are still willing to send out cabinet plans, I would be most grateful to receive them. A friend is going to help me build them, since I'm not much of a woodworker. He is a cabinet worker/home remodeler and wants to look at any plans before offering advice.

Looking forward to participating on the Forum, and returning to Altecs!

Dave
