I had been casting about for an upgrade for my Empire 208/MX110/MC240 system. Right now that system is driving a pair of Klipsch Heresy IIs. Which admittedly do like the tubes.

I began to home in on a pair of 604Ds as a likely perfect match. However! There?s always a however. I just don?t think I have the space for them. This system is in my home office which is about 12x12 and the area where my system is would only support about 7.5 cu feet for each speaker. Short of the recommended 9.

So, as an alternative I started looking the 12? vintage Altecs. But they don?t seem to get much love. I?m not sure they would be all that much of an upgrade on the Heresy IIs.

Any advice, thoughts, good news, bad news?
