Thank you both-and welcome to AK, James! I'll eventually send my drivers to Bill @ GPA for a regauss (if they need it) and radial waveguide upgrades but they sound so good just as they are.
Since my last post, I did make some changes. The ported subwoofer wasn't doing it for me so, fueled by ibuprofen, I rolled my Tuba HT horn sub up two flights of stairs and pushed it into place with the mouth 18" from the wall. The Tuba is more dynamic, creates deeper and more immersive bass, and has no problem delivering at concert levels with headroom to spare...a perfect compliment for the Altecs. I also added my OPPO 93 (not in this pic) and Anthem MRX310 to my system as a digital front end.
Next stage of my journey will be room treatment (mostly bass trapping) and rattle control. Luckily, the need to treat reflections is minimal, as my room isn't strictly rectangular and doesn't have a back wall in the traditional sense (as shown in my previous post above).
