Hi Heather, I am not a potential buyer, as I just picked up a pair of Valencias myself. Would you please tell me a little about how you implemented the Great Hells? Crossover frequency, slope, attenuation necessary?
Thanks I’m advance, and good luck with the sale!

Thats the best place to get the details of what I did...

Heather followed what I did, but since our meet my Altecs have moved along with much more improvement. I've attached some information that can serve your needs. If you're interested you come to Parkville, MD and audition what's possible.

Thanks Walt - great work!

That white paper was written for publication. The reviewer that it was sent to passed away.

Walt:

Nice piece. You should submit it to audioXpress.

I didn't think of that. I had an article published in the Audio Amateur years ago. I think i mentioned that when we last met. When the check arrived in the mail it was dated and had Ed Dell's signature, but otherwise it was blank.

OOPS! I called him and I told him it was a blank check dated and signed -- there was a long awkward moment-of-silence on the other end of the phone.
