They sound absolutely great. The first pair of stereo speakers that I owned had Calrad drivers with a whizzer cone. After those, none were less than two ways, with separate HF and LF drivers. I...

This morning the last grille went in without any problems.
Altec certainly made some classic cabinets.

I had hoped to be through with these today, but one grille broke while installing it. Now it will be a few more days while the broken grille is glued and allowed to cure.

ReffuB, the veneer is made by Formwood Industries. It is paper backed which simplifies the application in many ways. Their website is <www.formwood.com>.
Jim, the two rectangular holes were sealed...
I couldn't believe how well the Seville grilles were held in place. Twice as many nails as Altec used in the larger Valencia's. And with the smaller package, the fit was much tighter. I broke off...
These Altec Seville cabinets were given to me by Mr. Widget about 5 years ago. Zilch kept them for me for well over a year before I finally made it to the Bay Area to pick them up. Then they just...
EconoWave, of course. :rockon1:
The 811B is a horn, and has no bug screen. You need to ask for directions to remove the screen in the particular driver you have mounted on the 811B.

Hi Scott,
Glad to hear your new system is working great. I would like to be able to come and hear it some time, but don't know if I could take a drag show.
Here...
Hey Scott, ASU just beat Stanford, the #7 team in the country. Maybe hiring Herb Sendek was the best thing Lisa Love has done.
I kind of like it!
And your new setup looks very coooool. Nice...
I would want some, yessir!!!
And some LE14H-3's to put under them.
Its good to see you here at the Lansing Heritage forum.
If you try to get unruly here, you will get slapped down. So just go with the flow and enjoy.
:applaud:
I bought mine from an E-Bay dealer somewhere in the South. Can't remember their name, but they are available pretty much everywhere. Measuring things really makes developing a speaker more exciting....
Hi Lar.
I ended up with two pairs of Valencias, each of which has a pair of the two BMS drivers mentioned. Zilch can hear a difference, but I really can't. However, either pair is totally...
I agree totally. The LE14A is so available, and they can be had very cheaply if you are in no hurry. Almost any original pair will need to be refoamed, but Rick Cobbs foam kits are very affordable,...
Hi Zilch. The Altec cabinets I used were Santanas, not Santiagos. In fact, they turned out so good that I have acquired another pair of them, which I should have by tomorrow. I will try them with...
I read the info on the Investment tab, and think I would have to ask "How much?"
They do look nice, though.
Hi Gary, It is sold as South American rosewood, and is made by Formwood Industries.
Here are the speakers in their working environment. I meant for them to replace the Trusonic pair that are under...
Well, not anytime soon. That is a nice compliment, however, and I thank you for making it. I will have some collector Stephens Trusonic's for sale soon, though.
Finally got the veneering done on them, and the only things left to finish them is another coat or two of oil, and delivery of the LE14H-3s. I bought a pair of LE14A's that were advertised as 16...
Thanks, Scotty, but it won't be necessary to return it. If you can't use it, pich it away.
Too bad your friend Scott didn't give you time to fix them properly. But would he have paid you for the...
Hi Scotty,
Those Valencia's are truly sweeeeet with the BMS drivers replacing the 806A's. I have two pairs of them in our bedroom, and they are really KEEPERS.
I didn't go back to see older...
They finished very, very nice. Congratulations on an excellent job.
For what it is worth, Antique Electronic Supply in Tempe Arizona has a nice selection of antique grill cloth. Their web site is...
Boy, I sure hope not. They were built for my workshop bench, and they fit quite nicely, while providing some great tunes. If I run into a larger JBL woofer and box combo, who knows?
I didn't think...
They sound just like they were meant to. Like 4412's with more bass.
The 4412's I had were very satisfying, but when I heard the LE14A, well the rest is history.
juergen, the veneer was cut...
