Anyone here using vintage speakers?


I am mostly a lurker and reader here and see very little conversation about vintage speakers (pre 1985). I have owned Altec 604's for about a year now and love the hell out of them. Just wondered if there are other vintage users in this crowd?

I recently bought a clean pair of 16 ohm Altec 604Es in nicely-made but non-Altec cabinets. The crossovers are original too (N1500-A) but I have a pair of 16 ohm Mastering Labs crossovers on the way.
These will be the 4th pair of Altecs I've owned beginning in 1960 (!) with a single 604C in mono then a 604D picked up new in 1962 for a stereo pair.
I replaced these in the mid 70s with a used pair of Model 17s with 604-8G drivers. Five years ago I bought a pair of Model 19s which proved too big for our small home. My current 604Es are in smallish cabinets and work very nicely with 3 10" JL Audio subs.
Anyone else using the ML Xovers?
