Biggest Darn Stereo System and PARTY! 9-17-2011
« on: September 16, 2011, 09:38:57 PM »
Hi All! I'd like to invite anyone interested in Rocking out, Jamming, Partying, with plenty of good eats,  drinks, to "Al's Farm". 9-17-11 This is the BIGGEST STEREO RIG we've ever put together. We do this once a year. The sytem is "tri-amped" and consists of Altec Voice Of The Theatre 1003B, 300hz horns with BNC drivers. Altec Voice Of The Theatre A-5, 15" Mids. And 4 JBL 18" subs each in a 8 cubic ft. matrix enclosure driven by a huge Crown power amp. Quicksilver 8417 tube mono amps on the mids. Homemade Western Electric single ended 300B tube amps on the horns. Pre-amp is a homemade single 5687 tube with a transformer coupled output. This system is truly lifelike! Very clear,  with a big, open, natural sound that will knock your socks off! Al's 76 acre farm with picinc pavillian and pond is in Butler. Very easy to get to. (about 45 minutes from the shop) Please call or write me if you're interested. I'd really like to see everyone there! Sorry for the short notice. Mark 412-366-0128
