A nicely considered and most thoughtful system you have put together @Adcc , I hope you derive much listening pleasure from itThank you for allowing me into this forum. I bought my first of many tube amps in 1990 And have been collecting and selling equipment and nos tubes since then. I am currently building a new system for my move to Scotland in 2022. So far I have acquired a pair of Wavac 805 monoblocs, Vosne Romanee preamp, Lampizator GG balanced, CEC tl2n transport and a 301 with a nos sme 3012r. Speakers will be custom built horns by Gary Fischer.
To be going on with Lloyd ... https://www.garyfischerspeakers.com/Welcome. Fantastic system. I have heard Shindo preamps before...very impressive. Would love hear more about Gary Fischer's horns...anything you can tell us?

That's a hell of an opening post. Advance welcome to the UK, things have never been more exciting over here Lol.
Hi LL21
Gary builds Altec primarily but other speakers too. I approached him with my ideas and we came up with 18” bass drivers, 10” bass midrange drivers and 4” mid and high range Altec 1505 horns. The horns were built by Markus Klug in Germany. The speakers stand about 52” high by 30“ wide by 24” deep. They are about 100db and put the sound in your lap at 15 feet. The drivers are new manufacture tested by Gary.
Gary can be found at Garyfischerspeakers.com I believe, and has been doing accurate Altec reproductions seemingly forever. He is one of the most honest and real people you can deal with. He is also on Facebook at Gary Fischer Speakers.
no problem. I’m in Musselburg.I have been a big fan of the Lampi GG for years and here is my report on Altec with the Markus klug horn on top. Have also visited Markus
Would love to listen to the Gary Fisher horns when you move to Scotland as I am in the UK

No, they would need to be a dimension way above any wife acceptance factor lol. Just a mid bass box in a bigger box with horns on top. If the low end is crisp sounding I can get the depth from the horn. The sound is like a 45 good amp with Klipsch La Scalas but with textured bass.Is the midbass and bass horn loaded?
That’s quite ok with me. Scottish by birthright. We even have a wall.Scotland might not be in the UK by the time he gets here

Wow...sounds very potent...and I imagine potentially extremely efficient which means with high quality even low power let alone mid power, you have a rocketship in your living room.Hi LL21

HiWhat drivers are you using? Gary had also stated using Radian in the highs
Hope so. High current amp running at almost idle. Speakers will be happy.Wow...sounds very potent...and I imagine potentially extremely efficient which means with high quality even low power let alone mid power, you have a rocketship in your living room.
Thank you. Need to source cartridge though.Welcome to WBF, Adcc!
It promises to be an amazing system that you are putting together!
I am a fan of the GG as well. It came with the standard KR5U4G and 242KR tubes. I have WE422A and 274B To try also. Although I haven’t been a fan of the 274B I’ll try it. I’m also going to install a quad of TFK RS241/242 and WE101D from Psvane. We can tube roll when you visit. I am going to part with the rest of my tubes I’m not using before I move. I did sell a ton of less valuable nos tubes and kept the rest - TFK AD1, RGN2504 mesh etc. for future projects. Apparently the future is now and I don’t have the energy or desire to build more amps.I have been a big fan of the Lampi GG for years and here is my report on Altec with the Markus klug horn on top.
