Thanks for the thorough reply. I haven't opened up the crossovers of my Model 19 in a long time. I'll take a peak at it but what you wrote does make sense as a lot of the old tube equipment do the...
This is good info. Thanks for sharing. Have you tried putting the new caps back in?
I think you might need to allow the surrounds and spiders loosen up a bit. Also, you might want to try out a different preamp or no preamp at all if your QSC has line-in level controls. I had a...
Zilch, I have been following DC's thread and I'll need to look up your work on this crossover. Unlike DC, I am a slow mover.
Bob, thanks for the insight. It does make sense to keep that...
George, there is a thread on AK about this subject:

For sure you will hear more clarity on the upper end as well as...
Wow, you have some very fine speakers. How's the bass on the Model 17 compare to the L300? I would think that the bass of the 17 does not go as low nor does it sound as good as the L300.
I would go ahead and use another crossover since the 846B has a really simple crossover and could use some updating. If you don't want to redesign the whole thing, I'd check out this thread and...
I got lucky with the whole setup. One of old JBL experts I meet up with from time to time just happened onto a deal that day. He didn't want to take the cabs home due to having too much stuff...
Are these cabs to big for you? If you have the budget, I recommend going with the B&C for possibly more clarity on the upper end. That's what my friend with really good high frequency hearing told...
This is just an opinion since I have not done bypassing on my 4311, I don't think it's going to help since the LE25 does not go that high (from what I read). I think it's good enough to just replace...
Congrats on a very fine purchase. From what you wrote, it looks like the 4345's are now "original" so no 435Be's then? If so, that's a bit of a bummer considering that it's one heck of a driver. ...
We use to have these speakers briefly when I was growing up. IIRC, they are very cheaply made though they do look impressive to the uninitiated, with the glass top and all. You might have to cough...
Russ,
Good idea. I don't remember if the slot is big enough for the forearm (sp?) to get through though. I have a pile of other speakers (Model 14 and 4311) sitting in front of my Model 19 so I...
For me personally, a fair price would be $400-500 due to the bad diaphragm and non-standard black paint or stain job.
$1K is a very decent deal but I have not checked the current market price. Not sure how picky you are but make sure the wood is in good or renewable shape. The base should still be there but it...
Here's a ceramic 16-ohm Altec 414, simply labeled as 414-16. I have two that came out of a 9844 speaker, not sure what version. It is very well built and is very heavy. Look at the size of the...
IIRC, the 604-8H is the last of the alnico 604's. If NOS and a friendly deal, $1K is fair. If not from a friend, I would offer up to $1500 for the set and then flip the 8G xovers and build my own...
I didn't look at the link, but here's the pdf.
If you have a multimeter, take a resistance reading of the bad driver. Disconnect the wires to the driver terminals first. The correct reading should be between 6 to 14 ohms or so. If it's too low...
Nightbrace,
I have been reading posts here on and off and, man, you are a JBL poser. What is this talk of you wanting to buy more Altecs? One pair is enough (or do you have even more?). But if...
Rex,
Have you tried running both pairs of Valencias at the same time like those guys do with their Large Advents? They stack theirs the same way you stack yours, kinda like a MTM configuration. ...
Dirk,
Nice setup. Could you post another picture showing the Stereo Lab horn and how it is mounted to the granite slate? Is it a 1" throat horn? What is your impression of it?
Thanks,
T.
Storm,
I just looked at the auction pictures. It is just me but for $1600, I expect speakers in better conditions. This pair may have been listed a few times as I remember seeing it a while...
So much for reading 2 forums at the same time. I like to switch back and forth. My apology, John. Thanks for the help.

Dave and Gary,
Thanks for identifying this diaphragm. I am glad to hear that it is GPA made. The bottom side of it does look very well made with excellent material so I was a bit skeptical that...
