Hi All, i have an abiding interest in all things Altec & horn loaded, I currently run an Altec A7 system with some Altec 1569 mono blocks in my studio.. And at home a Mcintosh 240 with some TAD exclusive 2301 speakers..
Anyway Im no expert, but a friend of mine has a bar/restaurant and asked me to recommend a system for him that will allow the clientele to enjoy the music and also look sexy.
I immediately thought (since the room has 4m ceiling height & is about 8x5m in width/depth) that he may need to treat the room by hanging some diffusers, etc etc.
But I also thought well we just gotta get perhaps 4 mid size altec speakers..and a decent marantz 70's solid state amp.. Put the speakers in each corner of the room and hey presto.. see im no expert.
Just wanted to know if anyone had thoughts, and could recommend either model numbers of gear & / or sites i can check out that may have info about the best way to fitout a place with some tasty old gear.. I see it done in Japan regularly with similar gear to what im using.. but well yeah, just some advice on a fitout please!
thanks
