Hi,
Considering the lower frequencies (below 300hz) was looking at the Onken W with dual Altec 416 (a, 8a or b (not GPA)) and would to know if anybody here as any experinces with these. It would be to replacve VOT boxes that have qualities I like, yet lack the lienarity and lower frequencies that the Onken W is said to deliver.
From what I gather they were developped in Japan to suit 4 way system, the 3 upper frequeniceis with horns. Plots I have seen give a flat below 300hz all the way down to high 30's.
The construction is straighforward in 30mm plywood.
Views on drivers (416's) will be welcomed, my amp (tubes) only has 8ohms output tap and that could be an issue as the 2x416's at 8 ohms will give me 4ohms (parallel).
Any comments/experiences are welcomed before I make more sawdust!!!
