OK, you got my trolling attention now. I have got vintage Phase linear
system with a 700 led amp. Speakers are old custom built with EV T350
tweeter, EV compression mid ranges and trusonic 12" woofers. Definitely
old school stuff.

If you got 604 Altecs i would definitely hold on to them.
If i were to guess, you got some old 511 horns, 808 drivers, and 421
woofers? If there the 2", then 311 horns or 288/291 drivers. (HEAVY!)
maybe some EV white whales?

They don't build some stuff like they used to.


Nikko erm alphaII powr amp.

Matching preamp and fm......

Bass bins are the electrovoice sentry IV B--folded horns 2 x 10in altec
compression woofers in each.

Lacking crossovers, I wound my own, many years ago, simple butterworth 2
way, IIRC.... 500hz....

The horns are the altec 1105 with some altec driver--nice but still I dont
get the dispersion I would like in this room.....you still need to be sittng
directly in the line of fire to really hear the high frequency reproduction
these are capable of.

Sadly, I have basically become utterly deaf in my right ear--likely as a
direct result of noise exposure due to my customary line of work, and so my
interest in stereo high fidelity has waned somewhat over the last decade or
so.....

So, anyone using compressed air blasts in their daily work routine should
heed my warning....

......WEAR EARPLUGS.....

Cheers,
