Altec Lansing horn ID needed

[kelossus]

I have been offered a pair of of 802-8D and 411-8 woofers.

I am trying to ID the horn but I can't find any similar designs. Does anyone know if this is a OEM Altec Lansing horn and if so what model?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Kelossus,

Looks to me possibly like an Emilar horn or copy of one. Google Emilar horn and you'll see. If I remember well years ago some guys did use Altec driver on Emilar horn? Regards,

Thank you very much Richard. Definitely looks like the Emilar horn.

Are these considered inferior to the original Altec designs?

Actually, many consider that Emilar "Bowtie" horn superior to the Altec sectorals ( due to the Emilars heavier casting > making it less prone to ringing artifacts, etc ) .
