Altec Lansing Model 19

After a loooooong research I found them! 10/10 condition cabinet drivers grills everithing is brend new, the owner (first and only) has reassured me they are perfect and I can tell you he is right!! not easy to get them here in Europe.
QUESTION, I want to drive them with the best amplification from the 70s!! nothing like nowadays elettronics, possibly one box amp!
Thanks for the help!

Since you're interested in a "one box" integrated amplifier, I would consider either Leben model., 300 or 600, and they are very affordable, as I would go tubes
Even though your Altecs are in pristine condition, you should really consider the crossover upgrades that many have done with great results.
Information is easily found online.

335225996, you had to pick a Krell and specifically that one! I don't know
what you used in front of the Krell amp but if it had CAST in its makeup,
well you already know the results. Ideally you need a true 100 Watt Class A
or A/B tube amp with the 19s, if ss then a good 50 watt Class A should do.

Take my 2¢ for what it is, been dealing in vintage horns for nearly 20
years.

A bit of an old thread,

Used a Citation 16 HK sounded wonderful on mine.

I've tried many amps with 19's.   The Cary SLI 80HS in triode with EL34's is a synergistic match.   Despite the 19's high efficiency rating, I've tried 3 SET amps, none of which worked well.
