Amplifier for Altec Valencia speakers

Hi mr_m,

I've listened to the 846B in someone else's system and of course I own a pair of 846A's but have never listened to both side by side using the same system.  But if you go to the Altec Lansing website at audioheritage.org, you will find others' thoughts and observations (I know because once upon a time, I had an opportunity to acquire an 846B even though I already had an A and asked the same question). 

Happy listening!

I have to wonder what Atmasphere does with all the transformers he doesn't use. Donations to the transformerless among us? Yard sculpture? Paper weights?

Bump...I'm considering a Montille amp with my Valencia (16 Ohm) 846A’s. Just looking for another amp to play with for another flavor, to have a little variety. Thought I’d wake things up here. Boy, it’s been quiet in every way.

How about a nicely restored Scott integrated tube amp, like a 233 or 299?

My mom always told me for every output transformer made, God kills a kitten.
