That is the thing....I DON'T want an Altec. I want a updated (better) version of an Altec. A vintage Altec has great nostalgic qualities, but doesn't sound up to audiophile levels. The image size and dynamics of speakers like that are wonderful. The fidelity is kind of limited. So, Gary will build a better cab.Use better wire and components, and modern drivers that will have more proper resolution and frequency response.
My question was not really about Gary as a builder. His work is obviously very great. The question is about whether that vintage design can sound up to date...or if I should consider another design
