    It looks top-heavy. Consider the possibility of a child pulling it over, upon himself. This was a problem with some large screen TVs.

    I wish you well in this venture.
    Opinion is only as valid as its verifiable supporting evidence.

    Appreciate the advice. This was just something we threw together yesterday afternoon for testing. Any finished version would have a substantial plinth designed for stabilization. But it's definitely heaver up top than the other speaker type....

    Here is the listening position graph of the Open Baffles. The MTM Inspire and the prototype crossover on the 604 open baffle. I think that the peak at the bottom is a room mode.

    Hey thanks! Rest assured that I spent much of that sabbatical listening to my mighty, wonderful Altecs.

    As we all have ! Pano has there been any updates to that HolmImpulse ? Haven't used it in awhile. That's a nice looking graph.. Very flat response.

    Analog Adict or others:

    My 604-8Ks and GPA XOs are arriving today Fedex! They have been re-coned by GPA for previous owner. Though I plan to eventually build a proper box (thinking 606)- for now, I want to get them up and running quick and dirty in my small room. I like the idea of off the floor and vertical- did this work out? Dimensions? Can anyone give me dimensions of known decent OB setup for the 604s?

    Also, where can I find a frequency response testing and graphing program like the one shown on your laptop? I want to measure parameters to see how my 604s compare to parameters listed at GPA.

    Thanks so much, Kip.........
