Go Habs Go!
Well, the odds are that I'll be picking up a pair of empty A7 cabs tomorrow -- question is, what to do with 'em? The Altec fiend in me says to eventually track down a set of original drivers and horns, do a repaint/restore, and end up with a nice authentic pair of A7s. :thmbsp:
However...the part of me that has been lurking on some of the Altec discussions on the board (Zilch and co) has me seeing this as an opportunity to try something different. I cannot bring myself to alter the stock Altecs that I own; maybe this is the time to try some of those BMS drivers, and maybe something different on the lower end, and a different crossover. Maybe even paint them something different than gray (heresy?), or even try veneering the big bastards.
I've always liked the stark, no-nonsense industrial look of these, but as I'll be buying just the slightly beat empty cabs, I'm feeling pretty free to experiment right now. Any suggestions, guys, or is this just a stupid idea I'm having due to the fact I haven't purchased anything in a couple of weeks? Would appreciate some input before I head out with some cash.
