Hi! 2nd post, still an amateur in sound matters, but learning...
I hv found a very interesting article that helped me a lot to understand speakers:
http://www.ecoustics.com/articles/understanding-speaker-frequency-response/
Anyway, my post is about the Altec 1233E ( does anyone know what the E stands for?) that is for sale near my home. I know this is a PA speaker ( is it?) but i find it very similar to the Altec Valencia at least in design.
Is this a " HiFi" speaker worth buying? Here the specs:
Altec 1233E Musical Sound loudspeakers System
Specifications
Model: Altec 1233E
Frequency Response: 50Hz to 15 KHz
Power Handlng Capacity: 120 Watts
Sensitivity: 100dB
Impedance: 8 ohms
Crossover Frequency: 1200Hz
Dispersion Angles
Horizontal: 90º
Vertical: 40º
Components
ER15-Type LF
908 High FrequencyCompressor Driver
811B Horn 1200 Hz

I could only find a picture of the Altec 1233 not of the 1233E, this is from the web as seller has the speakers packed.
