Yesterday I was working for a half day at the part of the house were my Altec 19 are sitting and just to keep myself entertained I set up the Altec 19 to play from my add-hog playback: Sony $30 DVD player, Yamaha C2A preamplifier and Yamaha B-2 power amp, all connected with those horrible Radio Shack interconnects. It was not good sound, not that I was looking for any kind of Sound. However, again and again I have noticed the amassing quality of the Altec 19’s bass driver – it just never stops to up in dynamic. As I told many times before this characteristic to demonstrate absolute lack of compression in bass at high volume is the ONLY one worthy quality of this entire speaker. It is not the bass is good, it is very bad in fact – the typical ported crap but the way this bas climbing up in dynamic range is truly remarkable and VERY infrequent commodity that one very seldom can get even from a good horn.
