Stephane:
R U still using this configuration? What type of digital cable did you use to connect the SPDIF output up to the DX46? What is the wiring diagram? Also, can you tell me what sample...

This is very interesting. I have been wanting to do this for awhile. Just confuse over the numerous choices.
Do you use AMARRA or PURE MUSIC software with this? Is the OS part of MAC or Windows?...

Earl, Altec best, Zilch and all:

Thank you for resurrecting this. I was about to order a set of GPA-902-8As to replace by ALTEC 808-8Bs until I saw this thread.

The lack of energy below 1K is...

Thanks Woody, ultimately you need to decide on your price.

I have heard great sounding wood horns and bad sounding wood horns. Whether the price is $1K, $1.5K or whatever, I would be interested...

Thanks, right now I am really enjoying the sound of my system, even though its heavily equalized based on Zilch's 802G measurements. This combo has put my Harbeths in moth balls for the moment at...

These horns look great, so they are for sale?

Please do share your comments. Most of the measurements I found (mostly made by Zilch) are in the massive Valencia 846B thread started by storm and the altec 9844 thread....

LOL....about the 806s. I have those in my Flamencos and I am quite aware of their short comings - espcially with rock music. They do sound great with music preferred by audiophiles in Asia.

Are the symbiotk diaphragms pretty worthless? Aluminum diaphragm from GPA? Or take one from the 806? Is the GPA diaphragm as good as / better than the ALTECs?

I was hoping I could actively...

Does anyone have frequency response measurements on the ALTEC 802G or 808-8Bs /511B combination without the M19 XO, Radian or GPA diaps? I am trying to equalize this combination using a active EQ (no...

Gents:

I am trying to restore a pair of Flamencos that I recently picked up. The cabinets are a bit rough and one of the LPADs are shot. The wrought-iron grills are long gone but the grill cloth...

Hartsfield1:

These look fantastic!!!! Can't wait to see the wood horns. I have been hearing some real good ones....

Very very very nice vintage system. I love your collection of TD124s....

VTUBE6:

What changes have u done?
Last post said you added RAVEN tweeter and swapped stock caps for Solens. Is that it? Did you do the Zilchlab change?

Dave:

You took the concerns right out of my mouth. Does the BMS "upgrade" alter the essential character of the Valencias that many found attractive?

What about the horn damping,cap...

I can't believe I went through this. Thank you to all the contributors...

Wish I had read through all this first.. before I bought a pair of Valencia 846Bs.

I was inspired by a friend, who...
