    Altec Model 19 Innards questions

    I write with some questions about my Model 19s, which are sounding fantastic, thank you very much!

    The dates on the terminal pads are October, 1977. I am thinking that must be pretty early?

  4. Why and what?

    It sounds silly, but I just thought I couldn't or shouldn't keep two fairly large pairs of loudspeakers in my living room. My wife felt somewhat the same way.

    Hi,

    I as a Model 19 owner and enthusiast, I am interested in any finding such as yours regarding improving these speakers.

  8. Bob Walker Thanks

    Thanks, Bob. I can wield a soldering iron myself, but have no clue what I'm connecting or why. I have built several kit electronics (tuner, power amp, etc.) but don't know from crossovers.

    When...

    Thoughts about Klipsch speakers

    I agree! I have owned some reasonably well-regarded newer speakers and these I presently have, 20-30 years old, provide a lot of satisfying musical performance for the money. And by buying used on...

    Thanks for this information. I am using Audio Research VT 100s with my Model 19s and they seem pretty smooth. Are there smoother tube power amps you'd recommend?

    To what did the L300s evolve? Were...
