System Goals/Comments: | The utility cabinets for the Altecs are a temporary measure - I'm having a set of 9 cu. ft. cabinets being built for the 604E drivers, although two years of COVID pandemic + associated inflation in plywood costs has thrown a massive wrench in that plan. Update June 2023 - the person building my cabinets is finally starting! |
System Strengths: | Immediacy, soundstaging (they're freakin' Altec duplexes, for Chrissakes), dynamic range, tonal accuracy. |
System Weaknesses: | Damn, the 604E's are big. They also are in suboptimal cabinets. But...damn. |

Comments on HT System: | Remodeling the basement into a dedicated home theater was a massive improvement. The majority of the home theater equipment is used and was purchased for well below cost or was built / rebuilt by me. |
Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation: | Reading, music, BMWs, computers, building tube gear, green power and sustainability, remodeling, micro-farming, DIY and raising my kids. |
