Thumbnail for Altec 604-8L tweaked by Iconic manufacturing - as titled, placed quickly, for a low down listening to hear what all the fuzz with Coaxial, Altecs were all about.

It was an epiphany for what I believe voice and high frequencies sound like. It makes all other speakers I have heard sound like children's toys and I mean, even really expensive speakers and set ups. This was done on free air and still, it sounded ravishing. Lively,without being harsh. Amazing. When I put then on baffles, holy, I should get a helmet and strap myself.

Thumbnail for Iconic supercrossovers - These crossovers are massive, might weight easily 7 lbs and are used with Altec 604-8Ls.
Thumbnail for Iconic supercrossovers 47 Labs OTA - I was experimenting fast and dirty with the 604-8L I bought back in July and wired my amp to the crossovers with these cheap paper clips.

Thumbnail for JE Labs open baffle based system as of 7 21 2006 - Not the champ of extremes, but brother, the midrange sound of vintage Altecs is ravishing, the lows are not bad either, with the help of the Infinity Intermezzo 1.2S subwoofer (1000 watts bash amplifier)...See the previous FTA-2000s punished against the wall, along with my First Sound Paramount HotRod MKII as its head.
