| I feel it is time to upgrade my 1977 system....... I have to come clean... While I did like what the Coincident Frankenstein's did for my Altec's, I came to realize that the exceptionally powerful dynamics that the 19's are capable of were missing with the low powered Franks. So I've sold the Fr... | |

| I feel it is time to upgrade my 1977 system....... @charles1dad I acquired the Franks about a month ago and the Music Reference RM9 MKII has been sold to a good home. The Franks have proven to be a better match for the Altec’s, as they allow me to hear deeper into the music. | |
| I feel it is time to upgrade my 1977 system....... I have refurbished Model 19's and I use Coincident Frankenstein tube monoblocks. There are two pairs listed right now on US Audiomart and I've had very favorable dealings with the gentleman selling the like new MK III's in suburban Chicago. The ... | |

| speaker cables under 1k for Harbeth 30.2XD? I always used Duelund 12 gauge when I had 40.1’s and 40.2’s. Requires 200 hours of break in before they are listenable. Partsconnexion in Canada is a supplier and can build them to your specs with regards to length and connectors. Very reasonabl... | |

| Duelund speaker cable I'm a big fan of Duelund 12 gage speaker cables and use them on both of my systems. However, if you decide to try them, either buy a pair that is fully broken in, or be prepared for them to sound lousy until they reach the 200 hour mark of break... | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? @larryi I have relatively efficient speakers (Altec Model 19's), but feel the large woofers still benefit from moderate to high powered tube amps. What 6L6 based amps do you recommend, assuming a min. of 40 wpc? | |
| Synergistic Research Master Fuse £565 I hear the brown fuses give your system a more earthy sound. | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? @dhcod I occasionally swap in an Elekit 8600R 300B SET amp. While it does sound nice with the Altec's, the bass is not as well defined compared to the RM9 MK2. I have Werner Jagusch (MassMutter) crossovers on order... so I'm waiting for those to... | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? @bdp24 How would you compare the sound quality of an RM-9 MKII vs, RM-10 MKII? I've been enjoying my RM9 MKII for 6 years, but recently replaced Harbeth 40.2 speakers with significantly more efficient Altec Model 19's. The Altec's sound excellen... | |

| What's the best EL84 amp? @imintohifi have you tried the Rogue Atlas with your Altec's? |
