Altec 604G

It seems like I will be getting at least a pair (possibly two ) of these in the original 200L "Utility" cabs sometime this year. They need some repair work, but other than that, does anyone have any idea what I should do with them?

These are 15" drivers...

There's any number of cabinet designs out there for them. I like Onken-style cabinets with Altecs, I'm sure you're well-placed for finding something.

They will give a VERY different sound compared to the Harbeths, but I have a sneaking suspicion you'll like them.

Hi Markus,
I have heard them in their current crap PA setup, and they are really amazing nonetheless.
I just can't think of a way I could get them into the house. Maybe in a couple of years after we've remodelled. Even then, I'd need to find a much more domestically acceptable design solution than the current cabs (which are basically massive cubes).
Some kind of floor stander I guess, but the drivers are genuinely HUGE.
This seems like an opportunity, but they just don't fit...

Have you considered in-wall mounting?

That's not even a remote option, I'm afraid.
