Everything listed works as it should.I'm taking pictures today. I can demo my speakers for someone very interested, the other things I'll try. I cannot put this off any longer:

That's too bad you have to sell your system. I would like to buy the Mini Watt Amp. Shoot me a PM and we can sort out the details.

I would love to see pics of your A7's. Anyone in the burgh looking for some great speakers for a tube amp would love those.

@SD:

Not sure about a meteor, but a piece of old satellite is a distinct possibility:

You do remember I have a pair of Sony cans waiting for your cash?  Will trade tem for these SR-80s!

I met Jim and got the cans for SD.  Good guy.  He is probably going to swing out to the shop on Saturday.  Here's a pic of the Altec's being played in a self storage place.  Not the most ideal acoustic conditions but they sounded very good.
