Altec's and Bottlehead - Quick Pic

[casanis]

My one day off this week - kept my Son home from daycare to spend some much needed quality time together

We pulled out our "new" (1976) Altec Model 19's to see how the Paramounts sounded on them. First time being set up...my Wife is so very understanding

Looking good!  If you find the bass to be boomy try raising them up 6" or so.  Doing so made a huge difference for my 19's.

Nice! It reminds me of the 'old days'. When a cabinet with a 12" was a minimum. 15" all the better. I built some Speakerlabs back in the day. I wish I still had them.

I am sooo in love! The Altec's always impressed me. And REALLY efficient too.

Very cool!  Always loved monster speakers.   Those Altecs would have taken up half the "living room/kitchen" floor space in my first apartment.  Come to think of it, they probably would have fallen through the floor in that first apartment.  Really.

Awesome! Just one thing though. You didn't tell us how they sound.

Good luck with your new toys. And yes, you should buy your wife something nice.
