As for stories of golden age companies, EV was acquired by Telex some time ago. If you want to see a dumb stare just ask a young person what a Telex was. If you don't remember, the Telex was an electric typewriter which was hooked up to a phone line, and you composed a type written message on one end, and it would be received and typed at the other end by another Telex machine. Kind of like email the hard way, and it's interesting that the Telex company still exists, and it now owns an audio equipment company like EV. Apparently Telex has invested wisely in other tech companies.

I've never heard an EV Regency, and it's interesting that you would prefer them to the EV SP15, 1823M, T35 rig you built. You must have had the same catalog I had as seen above. I would put my money on the EV rig however, and I would have hammered at them till they worked, but that's just me.. The weak point in that combination was the 8HD mid horn which is shown in the catalog pic mounted correctly with the long dimension in the vertical position. Many people (like me) mounted them with the long dimension horizontal because they fit better into what you had, and they are very beamy that way. If you get them out of the front of the baffle mounting as shown in the catalog, you can then get them in phase with the woofer by moving them physically until they're dialed in, and then do the same with the T35. Well that's a different animal of course, and I'd expect such a rig could run against an Altec 19, and that's really saying something.
