Hi
Thanks very much for the info. I couldn't find it on the web.
We were given a couple of wedge monitors and they will probably remain as such in slightly smaller boxes. I'm just repairing the crossovers at the moment. They came with University Sound T-50 horns which can cross at 600Hz. Haven't really tested them yet but they all seem to be working.
I hear they make great guitar speakers.
Cheers

I have 4 414-8Bs, and I use them 2 per side, and they are really sweet sounding even compared to today's modern woofers. I am also using an Altec 806 driver/811 horn and EV T350 super tweeter..
Hi
So that's PA or home theatre?

It looks like the 417 could do lower mids in a PA, and the 414 is a home hifi.
Thanks very much.

Just bought a pair of 417As to go in a 2X12 converted Super Reverb. Have 417-8C and 418, but can't turn up any specs on the 417A -- hoping it doesn't turn out to be wildly inapplicable .... any info would be appreciated.
thanks,
Joe
