in context:
""There was no technology for electric instruments," Lesh told Rolling Stone in 2011. "We started talking about how to get around distortion and get a pure musical tone. [Bear] did some research and said, 'Let's use Altec speakers and hi-fi amps and four-tube-amps, one for each instrument, and put them on a piece of wood.' Three months later we were playing through Bear's sound system.""
... but in fact, Bear and the Dead moved away from the Altecs pretty quickly -- and (as the article notes) the drivers used in the WoS were JBL and EV. I attributed the switch to acid burn-out, facetiously, because I am an Altec fanboy and rather less so of the other two marques.
There's a good book on the Dead's gear (instruments and electronics) that is cogent to this thread. I recommend it.
all the best,
mrh
