fixing up all my dads old altec stuff, pretty much built his whole studio on altec since he worked there, awesome to see other people work on the stuff. running to ford audio to buy a butt load of cables is a pain though lol
I love my VOTTs with DIY passive crossovers and driven by my VTA ST-120 with KT-88s. Source is either my Rpi3/AlloBoss music server/DAC or my Teac A-3340S reel to reel...... .pure heaven!❤
I have a set of A7-500 replicas I built 15 or 20 years ago. Right now I'm working on building a set of Model Nineteen studio monitors. Neither are for regular listening, I just like them for the nostalgia value.
Pretty flat on the 15” to begin with- impressive, 3 filters and it’s as flat as a straight edge 💪 Edit: and towards the end, that phase trace 👌 Test tracks sounds grouse albeit through a iPhone or similar. I’ve always wanted to apply modern drivers, amps and dsp to a old 4 way modular rig (aka w bin-4560’s & bi radials 🤔😏 Impressive old Altec boxes! Very flat starting points 👌 Your pretty good at tuning a rig there good sir - no time wasted, straight to the relative filter and point in each time 👌👌👌👏👏👏
No shop is complete without a kitty! Ostensibly employed to catch rodents but usually just there for cuddles when there is stress or frustration. Miao? Meow!
Hey Gary, just happened upon your channel as I'm putting together Some A7s without the Altec drivers (too expensive). How do you feel these sounded with the aftermarket drivers?
I wanna pat the kitty. Also, though good drivers, why did you use them instead of actual Altec drivers? The originals blown beyond repair? Might have been a good candidate for the 804 or even 805s.
Thats a great idea for sure.Its like revamping old school to new school.

Cool project!
Thank you! Cheers!
Amazing work!
Nice Gary! More MiniDSP and DSP vids not pertaining to home theater and subwoofers are needed.
Thanks David! I agree, Dsp for 2 channel is awesome!

That EAW driver looks like the 18sound 2060, 2080 or one of those...
