Welcome to the board ! And Congrats on the A7's ! Altec 1631 crossover ? I'm not familiar with those. So what are you looking for help to do,recommendation on amps,etc, ? Are these speakers already put together or are they components ?

OK I found it.It's an active XO.

Xover also sold as EV XEQ-2 I think EV still sells modules, you can make custom modules from the info in PDF.

I need preamp, power amp and phono preamp.

I can get GENERAL ELECTRIC STEREO CLASIC 7700. This ia integrated amp with phono


or two RCA 70 watts like this, but I need a preamp with phono


I do not understand about the crossover.
do I need two stereo amps for A7 ?

[Altec Best]

Those cabs look very nice.

Are those black? I love black.

Yes, your crossover divides the signals into high and low before amplification so you will need two stereo amps.
