Not on Altecs but did use a good num of SET types inc 845. If I were you I wouldn't change out amplifiers if you want improved sound quality try fostex t900a tweeters.
Hello Kloss i tryed allready some good tweeters on the Altecs but i prefer it without a tweeter
these Altecs are just for fun it my second system
i have also the Orpheans from Bert Doppenberg they go flat from 20 hertz to 22k with 114dB at one watt
the altec i think 50 to 12 k hertz and i don't miss anything that so strange
but my older ears hear the highest tones anymore
but also the low end is fine for me its go's not so deep but its ok
only church organs have more grunt on the Orpheans.
these are fine with a 45 or so amp but the low is active with a ss amp
45 or 2a3 on the altec with the passive filter and 15 inch woofer that must feed benefit more from a little bigger amp as the 300b but thats the biggest amp i have
if a 211 or 845 is better i don't now therefor my question
here
You are going the wrong way.You and Doug seem to be using 16 AWG to the woofers, when I suggested high quality 9 AWG. !!
With proper wiring, a 1 Watt 45 amp will KILL any 300B, or certainly ANY clunky three stage 211 amp out there. The bigger the amp, the more stages you need, with an attendant loss of musical expression.
IMHO, IME, NOTHING beats a KISS set up, with a two stage directly coupled Type 45 or 2A3 finals amp, into a well-wired A7, or maybe your A5.
I like A7-800s for "my" home use, in my medium-sized listening room.
Fix your internal speaker wires first, then, amp to speaker wires, and guess what happens ??
.....you can most effectively, use audio's INTRINSICALLY BEST-SOUNDING amps.... with your efficient ALTEC speakers !!!
Got it ?? Hope so. The chain is as strong as its weakest link. Fix your wiring first.

Stop with that Jeff
i really don't care what wire you use
its good and fine if you like it .
My question was if someone try a 211 or bigger amps on the vott
notting more
you tell me that i am an idiot with my amplifiers an speakers
and it is not he first time
if you don't remember ?
I follow you advise once on an amp cost me a lot of money work and it was totally not my sound.
i build the amp back and i am again very happy with it.
then it was the same you never heard my amp and every thing was not good
but you had the solution
you daze me with the alleluia stories and i tryed
it don't work for me
Its fine that it works for you but don't try to be the messiah
to push people in you're experiences.
But for you i am now still more an idiot can't listen and have just garbage
no problem for me but if you say that to me but one time is enough.
