In Reply to: Altec Owners - What amplifier are you using? posted by RC620 on January 24, 2008 at 09:37:40:
My 604's are biamped, Decware Zen amp on the HF and Radio Craftsmen RC-2 (PP 6V6 ~10W) monoblocks on the LF. I ran them passively for a long time, using only the Zen (2w/ch) and was quite happy with the results. 98% of the time it was enough power, but I like not having that on the brain and I think the sound is as good or better with the present setup. I have a very small room and the 10 watts is more than enough, but I could imagine in a larger room at high levels they might need a little more. I have gone through the RC-2's and thoroughly updated them as they are sixty years old now, and this made for a *major*, *major* improvement. My guess is what you are describing with the Stereo 70 may have had a lot to do with the condition.
