Nothing like a great big pair of speakers to make your day.

I was a horny for a very long time and after various adventures with Altec, EV, Klipsch, JBL, Edgar, McCauley and other gear (in various combinations both stock and DIY) pretty much settled with plain old Altec gear.
Then I moved from a large house to a high rise apartment and sold all the horns and got Martin Logan stats. Now I'm moving to a larger place and Altecs and horns are still no longer on the agenda. I reckon I'm done with all that.
Although I do think once in awhile about that GPA 12" coaxial......
Although this forum has few members, there is lots of talk of Altecs on other forums! I have read many times "I would just like to hear these altecs or have or find these Altecs" All I know is that with my 604's I can feel like I am in the recording studio and it is nice to know that many pieces of music of music I listen to were recorded with ALTECS very close by.
that sounds like a midlife crisis . (j/k)

for a while i was listening to to 4 755's per side. on a flat baffle.
the most close speaker i had heard to that was a/the martin-logan cls.
tonal quality was the same almost exactly.
only real difference was the dispersion.
guns kill people,
like spoons made rush limbaugh,
fat ....

I just made myself a little sick! I play around with antiques, and have been to hundreds of shops in my lifetime. I looked up images of altec 755a and I have seen the exact same western electric or altec box at least a dozen times. I wish I would have known, they sound like fantastic speakers......
Never underestimate the power of the Hipster. Ask Papst Blue Ribbon. With that said, Altecs are just too dang big and ugly for 99% of the population.
