Title: Altec Model 17s and SE84UFO Post by BMWk75 on 10/11/18 at 10:56:43 Long time lurker, First post. I currently have a SE84UFO driving Omega RS5s. I just got a pair of Altec 17s. Have not got set up in house yet. Anyone running Large efficient vintage with the Zen amp, or do I need to look at different Deware amp? Thanks |
Title: Re: Altec Model 17s and SE84UFO Post by Jeff of Arabica on 10/11/18 at 16:01:41 I assume they are equipped with the 604-8G drivers? The Zen amp you have will run those Altec's beautifully. So, from a power perspective, you should be fine. How loud do you like to listen? 2 Watts will be enough and the amp you have is great. However, other amps in the Decware lineup could offer a different flavor of sound (and superior sound) if you feel there is more to be gotten from the Altec's. Those are great speakers! I had an opportunity to listen to a pair last year and was really impressed with what I heard. Now, if you really wanted to finish off that combo in extraordinary fashion, get a 25th Anniversary Zen amp ;) |

My goal is to refresh the crossovers and save up some coins for a amp upgrade(or get another Zen for mono blocks). I have a pair of Hartley Holtons I run with Dynaco MkIIIs. They really do sound fabulous. Love them tubes! |
