Altec Valencia/Altec 604/LM 755 or O/96?

Well the review by Art says that the Flamenco sounds a bit different and that the cabinets are sturdier. Mine are for sure heavy - cant compare thought (sorry no Valencias at hand).
I have the dial on 5 now will try other settings. No harshness when used the WE16 GA wire, Almarro 318b and the $20 Sony Playstation. Amazing sound - even my wife commented on the difference.
Cardas has some adapters fro much less (4 would cost about 50-60) so I may try that.
I have several ICs from Belden vable with Switchcraft - I think it works very well. Maybe time to try the spkr cables too? BTW I will also try to make some stands this weekend - will report.
BTW - do i need to update my membership to subscriber to be able to post pictures?

I won't remember this in full detail, but I considered, and did not buy the Cardas. They make excellent parts, but I believe the spade sizing was not correct. I wouldn't mess around, plus those A23's fit oh so perfect with the Werner XO connections. Assuming the person selling the A23 adapters has good standing, go ahead and make an offer! If you end up spending $175 instead of $120, it's a cheap dinner out with the wife.

You can't replace your internal speaker wire with the stock crossovers unfortunately.

You can either sub or paste in pic links if you use something like DropBox.

Maple bracing in my new cabs:

Maybe he needs to remag one of his pairs...

Those cabinets look amazing!

Just built a pair of stands last night. Just need to stain them today to match the speakers...

That was fast! Santa came early!

Yeah I have a few days off and i know Jan-Feb will be crazy at work so I jumped on this.
Too bad its winter - did teh staining with Minway Jacobean (dark brwon stain) to sort oif match the cabs and our furniture - as my whole house stinks (worked in teh besement where my heating system is...)
At any rate, I will let them dry until tomorrow and then give them a try. i am also planning to use some rubber/cork 4"x6" squares on all four corners to tame resonance.
will see how it all works out

I'd recommend removing the 4 nailed plastic casters per speaker so they sit directly on the tables or your cork. You can remove with a small screwdriver or butter knife.
