    Zero Distortion: Altec Assault and the Magic of Misho (Audio Antiquary)

    What do you think about new equipment? Would I reach same super high sound quality? For example Genelec 1236. What would be the advantages and dis-advantages? https://www.genelec.com/1236a

    These are 100% only visual design preferences, nothing else. Project is public place. Because of various design elements in a place, woofers must be horizontal, not vertical. My first question was, if it might be simply rotated - answer is NO. My second question was - can it be re-designed...

    .... and I should be willing to take the risk of unsuccessful project at the end, if I pick up not right professionals to do that. Everything now makes sense, and my question is answered, thanks!

    I think I will try to reach him at the later stage of project development. Yes, I understand that it's totally different concept. Just trying to figure out, if professional could re-design 817 after my "design goals". Would love the same view as my second photo. Could be without vent, if it...

    Thank y Thank you a lot for your time! It's a needed design decision to have woofers horizontally, not vertically. Could I use Altec 815a and expect similar sound quality as from Altec 817?
