    Pics new Altec 620

    Finished these last weekend.

    Size slightly modified from 620...a little wider and less deep...same volume.

    Using GPA 416 and 902. Horn is P-Audio (JBL clone), with passive xover at 1,200Hz.

    Euro birch 19mm ply with solid bracing.

    Very happy with sound...rich bass, and articulate mids/highs.

    Using 300B SET amp.

    Yet to decide finish, stain etc.

    Great work! I really like your dampening solution, and that you left room for an Altec horn....

    Most excellent!

    And I was worried about using self-adhesive autobody sound pad sheeting on the outside of my MRII564s and making a mess if I changed my mind and want to remove it. Now I'm not so concerned.

    Thos look very nice. What made you decide on the P-audio horn, and not something like an Altec Mantaray?
