The seller had a Harmon kardon Citation II and HK tube preamp hooked up to a Thorens.
It didn't take me very long to realize these speakers are apecial! These have the AA networks rebuilt with sonicaps.
I didn't notice the dispersion of either the mid not tweeter to be an issue, but I was right at the point of an equilateral triangle. Bass had an effortless quality to it which I am
Not familiar with. It doesn't go deep but it sounds very clean at all volume levels and sort of fast. I am sure this must be one reason people like horns.
Carrying them to the truck was a reminder of how huge these speakers are! It was like moving a pair of washing machines!
Anyway now that I have them I am going to re-read all the advice here, and keep my eyes open fo certain things. (Altec 311 horn maybe?)
The seller said these are from 1981, but mine have alnico magnet EV-T35s and the AA crossovers. Is this consistent with age?

Cool! Have fun with them. I always loved their look. Get a sealed powered sub that goes very low in frequency to pair with them. I always liked the Sunfire subs. Their new ones even have a mic and do eq correction based on the room. Not cheap though.

With the citation Ii powering then and sat in corners the bass was not particularly wanting. I guess it's a matter of expectations, I have a Triad powered sub for my home theatre (a 12 in a heavy sealed enclosure) which I will experiment with to add some output below 60Hz. One thing that struck me during the demonstration is these are very very aensitive to any hum from the power amplifier!
