    Hi Ray. Well as I was telling you awhile back that the Tornado that went through our area put us behind for awhile, but we are all good and about back to our normal. You have done an impressive amount of skilled work on the 816's brother. They look awesome and glad that I was able to lend...

    Vintage Klipschorn “Sound Reproducer” circa 1955 on fleabay

    Yep they are both two way speakers. The 1955 model has the correct University driver on the horn. The 1949 model with the Altec driver is not original. That driver was made in 1957. But far superior to the University. The '49 would have used the University also. If the woofers are original...

    The Jensen name carried on . I think the parent company was namsung or something like that. They had Dual, Jensen, Advent, NHt, Phase Linear, AR, Audiovox and more. SICA Altoparlanti, an Italian speaker manufacturer in Italy is re-manufacturing the vintage Jensen musical instrument speakers that...

    Looking to upgrade to horns

    Jensen was really big in the musical instrument side of the speaker business. Some P.A. and a few known High Fi speakers. They went under sometime in the 1960's. Not in the same league as Pro Audio like Altec, Jbl. More in the same market as University Sound, EV. etc. University and Jensen...

    Looking to upgrade to horns

    Yeah its a shame James B. Lansing hung himself in 1949. Altec (All Technical) took over from there. The Japs have copied just about every quality Audio product we have designed and built. And have bought up the majority of vintage McIntosh, Altec, JBL, Bozak, Stevens, to name a few before we...

    Looking to upgrade to horns

    Yeah Tad's are a bunch cheaper and made in Japan, the Altec's are USA small hand made production. I couldn't tell you which would sound better, even if they would sound different. Never have heard a Tad speaker, and I would never pay $2700 for a woofer. I got lucky and scored my Altec's years...

    Looking to upgrade to horns

    Yep . Pretty crazy but they are one of the best ever made. A nice used one will bring 5 bills . And that's one that might be 40 years old. file:///C:/Users/Owner/AppData/Local/Temp/Classic-Series-416-8B-Spec-Sheet.pdf

    Looking to upgrade to horns

    Yep very familiar with Zilch mods. This is the M-19 with the addition of the 604-8h Vhf attenuation "T" filter at lp2. Altec used this in the pro-audio Model 19 for bi-amping like the 1209 network. I think I sent you the schematic you show while back. Just have to wait and see how it will...

    Who Bi-wires (...not bi-amps)

    At that SPL are you sure the ''crack sound" wasn't from the room coming apart ! LOL On my SPL meter (Rat Shack ) placed at 12ft from the speakers, all I could handle was a reading of 92 DB. Stuff in the room was vibrating and I could not hear the sound that you guys heard. The gear...
