The Altec 19s are affordable, even  restored to the max and not that big as you know. If they were your favorite why not stick with them? I'll be in receipt of a blinged out pair shortly (currently being restored). Personally I like the etter than...

My Dad owned the KLH Nines back in the day. Dad used a number of different tube amps at the time, mostly Marantz 9; but also Citation, don't remember model number, as wells some other. All I recall was the sound was glorious! Best, Rob

What is best turntable for listening to Rock from the sixties like Led Zeppelin?
Quick aside, not to derail thread: Great stuff, Wolf. I got off the Rock 'n Roll Merry-go-round about ’72, went back to college, got my degrees and went in new direction. Great ride, fun while it lasted; but happy I jumped off. Best, Rob

Raymonda, Wolf,Not trying to unmask anyone; but I did play or substituted in certain bands below from the Boston Tea Party or Fillmore East. So maybe an old geezer like me /Wolf were on the same stage at the same time. My stage name back then and ...
