$214.24 with MN sales tax. I'm looking for someone to deliver them from Music Go Round in Woodbury, MN (494 & Valley Creek Dr 55125) to me at 44th & France Av. S in Edina MN 55424. I don't drive, so I'm paying CA$H money! Room full of Klipsch to enjoy here upon arrival!

Thank you Ari KG4GUY for the heads-up! You are awesome again & again sir!
I just snagged them, paid for them online, free pickup, 20 miles away in St. Paul.
Perhaps a St.Paul forum member could levitate them to Edina ??? - I don't drive.

What are you planning for HF? You might go active Xover, instead of buying boxes of caps & coils & resistors to roll your own.
Cheaper in the long run, less frustration, instant grarification! I've had good luck w/cheap Behringer Xovers & EQ's:

Neither ALTEC or EV 12" PA/Guitar speakers will have useful output below 80 Hz.
Sealed cabs could be as small as 1.25 ft3 for nice tight overdamped mid bass.
Plan on Klipsch SUB-12 or modern equivalent for bass, crossover at 50 Hz +/-.

Crossing UP? DOWN? BOTH? Into LF/HF drivers you have?

My Tangent 500's blew away JBL 4430's - A/B side by side - 3 audiophile ears agreed!
Sorry I sold them. Heresy's always needed a bigger box & deeper tuning.
Bring them back!

Greetings from Edina - I had a call from Patrick W... today about your EV horns & drivers - told him to run not walk! He's heard my ALTEC Mantarays outdoors a few times - I explained they were developed by the same team as your EV's. I helped him sell a pair of ALTEC Magnificents a few years ago, and we became friends. Good luck with your sale!

Ingenious! Overall dimensions & weight? What's the arrangement of the woofers? Separate front-ported bandpass enclosures? Biamped or triamped? Any construction plans or sketches for us DIY guys? Very interesting!
-
Long-throw 20° x 40° Mantaray constant-directivity horns. Can you hear me NOW?

Interesting concept for a music bar! Keep me in the loop as your plans take shape,
I built 36 nightclub systems 1977-80 in Minneapolis and the upper midwest as Dr. Disco & Associates
We flew ALTEC 421/802/32B sealed wedges over the dance floor, triamped w/EVM-18B's tuned to 23Hz - WOW!
Distributed 8" ceiling speakers in the bar, restaurant, restrooms 4-zoned to control levels. Seamless integration.

Beware using 8Ω diaphragms on 4Ω Klipsch KG2's! The crossover moves up an octave, and the output level will be down 3dB.

Scam to plug an auction site. I have her direct email. Not too bright.

Thanks for the PM, I never received an email notification. Al got a great deal!
Cheers, Steve

BASH 300S 300-watt sub amplifier - donor unit for For Klipsch RW-12D repair. PARTS UNIT, needs repair.
Transformer got HOT, discolored PC board. No further testing done. Please make me a reasonable offer!
This MAY be the Klipsch SUB-12 amplifier board as well, as the specs are verrrry similar. Board labeled as
iNDiGOCANADA 600130 Rev. 0. Email me for photos, I sold my 2MP camera 10 years ago...

Would you consider selling the DEQ-2496 without the dbx microphone? I have 2 Behringer ECM-800's mics, 2 sound systems, and only 1 DEQ-2496.
Cheers, Steve

NO BASS w/o an enclosure to trap or reuse the backwave from the woofers. Exercise in futility!
Measured similar $3000 Emerald Physics ($300 parts) - nothing below 60Hz w/o doubling the
input up an octave or two - 2nd & 3rd HARMONIC DISTORTION prevailed! NO FIRST OCTAVE!
-
How are these still for sale?
ALTEC's best-engineered VOTT ever, finest 288 Tangerine, 500Hz Mantaray horns, holy grail network, 4 X 250W RMS Woofers, ALTEC enclosures.
-
Unknown flipper listed them at $650 as Quarter Fortes. Ad disappeared...
-
Guitar amplifier. 1/4" input jacks on front, single small output transformer.
-
I was #2 on his list, maybe next time... Savvy seller, knew they were a steal at $400.00.
-
The lower horn appears to be an ALTEC MR931, a 1200-Hz Mantaray constant directivity for 1" drivers.
Have a look at the polars! http://lansingheritage.org/html/altec/specs/components/mr931.htm
I have 500-Hz MR II 594's with ALTEC 908-8B's on a portable system, stunning performance.
-
Were there any changes in the mass-loading (fender washers?) of the drone cone between II & III?
Seems more important than the flavor of the dust cap. Moving mass determines system tuning.
Did Midwest duplicate the original moving mass when they performed the recone?
They are very conscientious about their work - I'm a customer since 1977.

You might change the headline to indicate you are selling DIAPHRAGMS, not Drivers for $40.00.
Cheers & good luck!
