I can not wait. I will be in Shpongle and Younger Brothers heaven. My wife now knows I bought ONE pair of Altecs. I gotta work on the other pair. I'm thinking fronts and rears. Running a 700B on each pair. Ought to wake the neighbors. I also bought the final 400, got it for $125.00 and it should be on its way to you today or tomorrow. Then I will have symmetry with 700B's, 400's, Altecs, and everything. I'm going to have to work up my nerve to bi-amp the Altecs and may not ever be able to do it. I know I would fry them then...
I'm going in the morning to Lenoir, NC to pick up this other pair of A-7's. They have the 515 woofers and 902 compression drivers and are made of MDF instead of plywood. My friend Garland suggests I turn this pair into A-5's by adding the larger format compression drivers and larger multicell horns...He says the larger format compression horns and larger horns really open these monsters up even more, and put the A-7's to shame. I'l have to hear that to believe it.....plus I have to regroup and put some coin together. The horns and drivers aren't cheap..I may have to sell my Fisher 400-CXII preamp.
