Which Altec 604 for Shindo (Montille)?
Hello dear Shindonians (Shindoniacs?)!
I sort of set up my mind and decided to go for Altec 604 duplexes for my Aurieges/Montille combo.
After a bit of research I come up with a dilemma: should I go for older models (C, D, 605A) which feature 16 ohms (since "Shindo were designed to be used with 16 ohm speakers") or should I go for the newer models (H, G) which are said to sound better, but are 8 ohms.
I live in Europe, so sending them to GPA for restoring is not an option. Also GPA's recent jump in prices (604-8H-III jumped from 950 to 1750 USD) will prevent me from buying new drivers (which I should have done half year ago, in hindsight).
And the final one: would a 620 cabinet be suitable for a 5m x 5m room?
Thanks!
