Ken Shindo gets the hammer green color that he uses in some of his amps from the Altec Lansing 604C. 

He actually once used a pair of 604Cs in a pair of floor standing cabinets that were being sold for $33,000 in a Manhattan audio salon, maybe two summers ago. 

The pair I have are in an identically sized pair of cabinets. I added the Mastering Lab crossovers, the whole package costing me $3,300, a mere tenth of what the “Shindo” pair eventually sold for, to some unsuspecting Wall Street sucker no doubt. 

I’ve had my pair for 35 years. Every 7 or 8 years or so I figure there must be something better, I go shopping for a month or so and decide well, yes, this or that may be better but is it $50K better, and the answer is always decidedly no. 

The speakers are 103DB. I run them with a pair of Julius Futterman OTL3s, converted to triode. The depth and detail are outstanding. 

I’m basically a happy camper.
