Dude, you've got this. If I can do this kind of thing, anyone with an interest and some some time can too. Despite the shortcomings of my diy Altecs, they are (far) superior to any other "hi-fi" speaker I've heard or owned. This includes a long list of high $$ hi-fi cred speakers I've owned and lived with, including the Harbeth Compact 7es3, Acoustic Zen Adagio, Spendor Classic 2/3, and as many others I forget. There is a sense of realism Altecs convey that surpasses just about anything I've heard. Keep us posted on your progress!Fantastic Earl. It would be so helpful if I had even a clue. Well, if nothing else, I do have the passion! Thank you.

Valve glow if you lived in South Florida I could build boxes for you.
Familiar with JJ Cale?
They'll really shine on albums like "Naturally" or "Troubadour", he did his own engineering and mixdowns, felt that vocals should not be out front, but rather deeply immersed so as to draw you into the music more completely. I think good Altecs illustrate his concept very well.
If i had a "hero" in rock n roll, it would be this man.
If you;re not familiar, let me introduce you to the "Tulsa sound".
I find his music on Altecs to be as habit forming as cocaine.
