Hi Seti, Thanks for posting these photos.. I see those are the "BT" version. They look brand new. I am looking foward to getting my pair. What are you using for a preamp ?

Anyone else own these or other Altec amps ?

Well I have a pair of Altec 1570B Mono amplifiers coming soon with Tom Tutay modifications. I have his line stage w/ seperate power supply which is wonderful and dead quiet. I was debating with the Vincent Baldwins and a couple of others. Now I need a pair of La Scalas.

Yes a sad day and a hugh loss for us all. I still remember the duo lp he did with Coltrane called Interstellar Space. Great, great music.

Hello, I want to thank everyone for the help and input. A special thanks to Eric for all the photos.

Hi Eric, Thanks. I'll get with Will and see if he will send me a few. Take care and thanks, Phillip

Evening Eric, My Edgarhorns are ok but compared with the KHorns and LaScalas they are more subdued with the Klipschs being more alive sounding, more real if you will. I will be looking foward to seeing some more photos of Will's work. There really isn't much on the net. Thanks again. Phillip

Good evening Eric, Thank you again for the info and photos. The Lowther''s at 104-106db are truly efficient. I too have been concerned about being "full range" for the ones I have heard (not in the Medallion cabinets). The highs and low being of concern. But by God still sound wonderful with the right choise of amp and pre. My Edgarhorns have a nice top end and midrange but HAVE to have a seperate sub woofer. PERIOD. I went with Bruce's Seismic Jr. and let him set the crossovers to fill out the low end range of the whole system. It seems to me to be seamless and I have had friend comment on such. I would have loved to have the big Seismic sub but room limitations came to play. Those Will Vincent amps are something to behold. I id not know he made a 45 type amp. And the photo of the MKIII's look great with the meters. I am a sucker for meters, I guess since I have owned several McIntosh amps with them. Speaking of Will, I was not able to get a hold of him but I will try tomorrow. If I may ask, if you have more photos of Will's units please post or send them via e-mail. I would love to see the. Will sent me one the other day that is a photo of a PINK ST-70. Now that stands out for sure !!! Oh I agree with you 1000% on your comment about the colorations and finding the right combination. Well put my friend, well put. Phillip

Good morning Eric, No apologies nessessary. I thank you for sending them. Looks great and I agree with Bruce's assessment for the color scheme. Wonderful job. Those Lowther horns are mighty fine looking and I am sure with that amp a great combination. What are the specs for the Lowthers ? Also is your ST-70 set in triode mode ? Thank you again. Phillip

Good morning Bruce, I remember eyeballing the Moondogs a few years ago. They look to be very nice amplifiers. I know you must be proud. I bet they sound great with your La Scalas. Phillip

Evening Eric, A while back I was contemplating getting a pair of 2A3 amps but chose not too. I was checking out the Fi 2A3s or even the Fi 421A amp. Man so many amps to chose from out there right now. Moth, Bottlehead, and on and on. Are you able to try and run the type 45 tube in yours ? Phillip

Hi Bruce, Those bad boys look nice ! I bet they do sound great with the 2A3's. So do you still run the ST-70 ? Phillip

Hi Bruce, Thank you for the invitation. The same for you if you are in this area. My room is appox. 13' x 15'. Cozy is the word I guess. Thanks, Phillip

Hi Eric, I see what you are saying about the nearfield listening with the Klipsch Heritage lineup with smaller powered SET's and other amps and totally agree with you. Besides life is too short to get drawn into arguments such as that, it takes away from the target we are aiming at, namely the enjoyment of listening to music. We can let others argue all they want. Like you the seated height would be ideal for me, not that the Edgarhorns aren't, they are fine. But I want the Klipsch's. I need to dig through my VTV copies and check out the article you are speaking of. Thanks for mentioning that. Thanks again Eric. Take care.

I bet the Triangles do a great job at 91db. Sounds pretty good to me. They look good and so does the BEZ units you have. I know you must be proud. Take care, Phillip
