Yes, the Peerless was/is remarkable. At the price, it’s a great value.

Well, there is either Audiogon or US Audiomart. They’re probably the most popular in the US and Canada. If you want international exposure, EBay might be the way to go. At one time there was a ton of...

Absolutely stunning, a wonderful piece of history. No idea what they would be worth.

Widget, first world problems using a JC1 for woofers? Geez, I thought I was bad using a Bryston 4BSST2 for subs...:D

Yes, that “step baffle” with the 811B mounted is reminiscent of the 846B Valencia, of which I do own a pair. The 846B also feature two round vents on either side of the woofer, made of cardboard...

Interesting, maybe a transitional design.

GPA makes replacement diaphragms for the 806 drivers, I'm guessing they should be a sonic improvement over the originals for much less money than buying the entire driver[/QUOTE]

I have wondered...

I don’t think that is an Altec cabinet. For example, the 846A wasn’t ported with a pipe style vent like that as such, to my knowledge only the 846B was. It had a large wide gap that acted as a vent,...

Austin Powers moment: Ya, baby!!

And, we poor sods here in the great white North, have exchange, taxes and duties to deal with too!

Earl, let’s do it, I’m bored outta my skull these days too. Please PM me.

[QUOTE=bedrock602;432303]I have a pair of Valencias sitting in storage without horn drivers or crossovers and had considered sourcing them from GPA, do you have an idea of the cost of the drivers?...

Over the years I have used 806A on first, the 811B, then thinking the horn was the issue (as most folks seem to think) - I then moved to the 511B to no avail.

These horns get no respect! With a...

Hi Earl, I used the 902 8 Ohm version since the 806A was that impedance . No, I don’t have that dimension easily at hand, but if you really need it, I don’t mind pulling the cabinet out of my...

Yes Earl, the GPA drivers are quite remarkable. My 846B’s now exhibit wide frequency response and low distortion to my ears. The irritating issues that are usually blamed on the aluminum horn cease...

Thanks Rob. Widget, I won’t bother PMing the guy now.

They are having an issue with this site:

LOL, of course you’re correct! Senior moment re. the 4331/4330 confusion.

I think you’re right and as for 4331, maybe it was meant to mean the 4330 and 4333 and the consumer version, L300.

There seems to be a few typos at the beginning when he describes model numbers of designs done in the seventies.

I hadn’t seen that, thanks Rob.

Also same as the Carmel, which had the same components but in a horizontal orientation. I always preferred the look of the Malibu.

I’ve had good results replacing my Altec Valencia 846B crossover capacitors. I used Solen in the low pass and Hovland in the high pass. Later, I also replaced the high frequency drivers with GPA...

Very cool, can’t wait to hear more. :lurk:

Hey Ian, any plan to have balanced I/O and slopes/freq. correct for biamping 4345’s? If so, I’m a potential customer!

Looking good Rob and ditto what Widget said. Wholeheartedly agree with your sentiments about 4313 too.
