BTW my O/93 rest on a pair of Acoustic Revival platforms (part of the deal). Not usre if they make a big difference or not (highly regarded on the net..) but I would say that they do beat the Altec Flamenco. Not hands down, but overall I think they are more balanced, have tighter and still plentyful bass and just overall very musical/coherent speakers.
To be fair my Altecs are not recapped, but on stands with brass footers, both pairs of speakers have the tweeters at the same height, hooked up with the same WE 16ga wire to a switch box by Adcom and WE 14 ga wire hooked form teh amp to the box.
Hope to get new XO soon, rewire, etc the Altecs and then see truly what they are capable of.
Enjoy the music!
