Interestingly, you can make connections between most of the big names in audio roots if you trace them back far enough.

Les paints a pretty clear picture in just a few minutes: Music legend Les Paul & his relationship with McIntosh - YouTube

Always enjoy hearing him refer to his beloved "All-tech" 604, and the "finest amplifiers in the world".

well I got the EPIs today. after only a week and a half.

first thing, one mailman comes up and hands me a box. I went inside to open it and heard it rattling. turns out it was some kind of diet pills for someone 2 streets over. so I walked them over and gave them to the lady who ordered them. (she needs them) I was walking back and went inside and saw another mailman dropping off some packages across the street. as I walked out the door he saw me coming and started waving another package at me. it was the EPIs finally.
anyway, boy are those things hot. I tried the caps that came with the boxes first. 1.1uf very quiet. next I tried 10uf like they should come with. starts around 1800 hz. way too much. they drowned out the 755s. finally settled into 4.7ufs from the tandy corporation. it sounds pretty good now. but I want to try 2.2ufs. or maybe just pot them down a bit. I do like the ting and sparkle.

"Too much of a good thing" as my mother always said. Everything in moderation.

Adding high-highs should be like adding salt to the gumbo. It should enhance the flavor, but you don't want it to taste salty. Potting them would be a good idea. I find what I think I like at first, ends up grating after a while. Ease of modification is a good thing.

I just picked up a pair of these to fool around with...

nice part is I can always take them off and go back to square one. they sounded great before. as far as back porches go.

but I think once I can pare it down to an extension of the voice that's there. I'll be happier. some parts of the sound the EPI does better, so I just need to bring it in at a freq where it sounds best. and then attenuate it till it sounds like one speaker.
