    This was an interesting dollar pickup.
    CSN&Y w/ an almost black textured cover.
    Vinyl in good shape, not great. Sound great however.

    604Etest by mhardy6647, on Flickr

    Why... it's my speaker, silly! ;-)

    It is an Altec 604E Duplex coaxial driver installed in a variation of the classic Altec 620A vented (bass reflex) cabinets designed by a fellow at AK called "Billfort" - http://www.wardsweb.org/Billfort/

    Cabinets were built by my friend, woodworker/contractor Mike Berg in Hudson, MA.
    Crossovers are Doug Sax's Mastering Labs crossovers.


    Note that Billfort's Duplexes are a little prettier than mine ;-) He also has somewhat more modern Duplex drivers which are a little larger in OD than mine, too...

    0fullsys_zps241aae7f.jpg

    Altec Duplexes were the industry standard for broadcast and studio monitoring for a long time... the story of how they lost that mantle is interesting in itself (and readily found on teh webs). Those four lads from Liverpool used to hear themselves on Duplexes a lot at Abbey Road...

    Abbey-Road-Studios-Altec-Studio-Monitors.png

    (actually the monitors at Abbey Road were 605A Duplexes in 612C cabinets... but the 604 family and the 620 enclosures are generally regarded as "better"... at least nowadays)

    um, Very cool! :cool:
    I'm a fan of Altecs though I don't own any of that vintage.
    I also like Bozacs and Polks too!

    Y'know... I never really appreciated this guy when he - and I - were far younger.
    Some of his classic stuff really is (classic, that is).

    Took a long time for Dylan to click w/ me but when he did, I wanted all his stuff.
    I wouldn't have guessed it, but the SACD of Slow Train Coming is really good.

    Listened to a little bit more of Mr. Zimmerman before going back to VPR ;-)
    Now Ophelia, she’s ’neath the window
    For her I feel so afraid
    On her twenty-second birthday
    She already is an old maid
    To her, death is quite romantic
    She wears an iron vest
    Her profession’s her religion
    Her sin is her lifelessness
    And though her eyes are fixed upon
    Noah’s great rainbow
    She spends her time peeking
    Into Desolation Row

    Bob did give us some good stuff. Too bad he was so impressionable and unstable as a personality and easily swayed as he aged? Look at his history in the last couple of decades: thought, religion, women...

    I remember the story about when Bob was riding with the Fab Four and he so "desperately" wanted to get Lennon's attention/approval even though he'd already done a lot of classic stuff.

    I guess what I'm saying is I don't respect the guy, but I do like some of the music. The problem? Bob also produced a HUGE number of "stinkers", HUGE!

    In a RS interview he admitted he tried to destroy his rep w/ some LPs like
    "Self Portrait." I don't have it now but there is some good stuff even on that.

    But you are right. Bad Bob is really Bad. He should have hung it up some time ago.

    Power of suggestion? The one I listened to was an original (mono) "2-eye" ;-)

    EDIT: Gotta love that Nikon SP rangefinder 35 mm camera on the cover... my son's got one (well, a Nikon S2); he loves it, too...
