Altec Horns-test run 414z woofers, 806a driver w/811b horn

Great set-up. Mounting your Garrard 401 on a slate base is an excellent idea - gotta steal that one (not the turntable, the idea) LOL. I once had a Kenwood turntable that was built on a sold synthetic marble base. Shouldn't have sold it... What do you think of Electro Voice 12TRXB's? I might pick up a pair. There's something about the sound dispersion of coaxials/triaxials that I like.

I really like the EV 12TRXB's I heard a few pair and love them. I have a EV 15" in the attic...just scored a mint pair of Altec 416's from an old man who bought them new. So the set may change yet again.

What song is this?

@Rullknufs

Body and Soul off Wilbur Ware's Riverside LP-Chicago Sound. Johnny Griffen is the tenor player....a very overlooked session. Great stuff.

I'd swear the sax player is in the room with you.

@jdsalinger73

horns do some things right and "having the horn player in the room with you" is probably what they do best..

@deepgrooved

I thought the same thing regarding the sax. Perhaps the fact that the sax and the 811B horn are metal may be the reason why. I could be wrong.

@classic65stang

thanks running the woofers full range now covering the midrange and the horns are now running like tweeters, no resistors no coils just a small cap on the 806a's----they are fun!!!
