I got these Altec 290-8L a few months ago and i finally got to try them. I'm really surprise how good the midrange are on these drivers, especially on vocals. even in this crude setup i can tell it has lots of potential. Its so good i was up past midnight listening to music in mono (i only connected it to one channel for testing) until the wife shotdown the party:)

anyways, have you guys compared this to Altec 288 G or K in the 500hz to 5000hz range? i wonder which one sounds better in that region. i'm deciding between the 288 G, K and 290-8L for my 3 way speaker project. I haven't heard the 288G, K before so i cannot compare.
