    If I already have a pair of 846A, are a pair of Carmels worth buying to play with for $700 especially if one of the Diaphrams is blown? I don't know anything about this speaker other than the 804A...

    Primer Sites

    I posted this in the DIY forum but realized that maybe this is a better place for it. Sorry for the cross-post!

    Great

    So we have both the woofer and the horn at 16 ohm. But I assume that is nominal. Do we know how far down either dip? Or an impedance curve for the speaker itself would be great if anyone has one. ...

    Does anyone have or no where I can see the impedance curve for the Model 846a? I know the horn are nominally 16 ohm, no idea about the woofers. Changing the taps on my amps isn't tough but it isn't...

    Thanks

    Thank you Zilch. I have been reading your old posts on the 846A and B, they are very useful. I was a little peeved when I realized I hadn't bought what I had been sold. Hopefully the A isn't a...

    Altec 846A Crossovers

    Are the values in the 846A crossovers the same as the 846B? It turns out the speakers I bought are 846A and not B. The Black goo looks nightmarish and I was toying with the idea of just completely...

    Thanks
