Just curious what were some of our forum members favorite "Altec moments" were. My first one was in high school when someone gave me a pair of 604 8g's that came out of a home studio, I hooked them up and was amazed what they could do... I never heard of Altecs before, but the power and clarity with many pieces of music was astounding, I had never heard a speaker like this before.... The second was a few years later, at this point my Altecs were in dire need of repairs. I visited a high end audio shop in the washington D.C. area. I asked the owner, an ex doctor, who loved audio, and decided to give up his practice to sell equipment. I am looking for a pair of speakers for around 5000.00, that are 2 way. I had heard that 2 way speakers were better because of the complications with 3 or more way crossovers. This was probably bad information . He politely asked, but with a little sarcasm, "what type of speakers do you have" I responded Altec 604 8 g's, he then replied, "you cant touch that sound for under 10,000.00... I was amazed, if he hadn't said that, I would have sold them long ago... I am very thankful that this gentlemen pointed me in the right direction... If you gentlemen could share some of your favorite or memorable "Altec" moments it would be interesting...
