just a bit wiser

I have to hide a second bottle from the wife - she beats me to it every time -My Darling is shy -

must be the owners car -looks authentic - maybe a retired police officer -

Altec VOT really maxed out in seventies as huge halls were the norm - by the mid eighties - they were gone , too big - too monstruous - the biggest sub man ever built was the A4 - -the staff used to sit in the cab to feel the bass -it would rattle the fillings out your teeth The horn path looks too short to be any good for use as a subwoofer, may be a decent bass bin but the older Altec drivers i have heard ran out of steam rather quickly and we had quite a few on the block ( Dad had the Altec Valencia's ) Altec VOT really maxed out in seventies as huge halls were the norm - by the mid eighties - they were gone , too big - too monstruous - the biggest sub man ever built was the A4 - -the staff used to sit in the cab to feel the bass -it would rattle the fillings out your teeth The horn path looks too short to be any good for use as a subwoofer, may be a decent bass bin but the older Altec drivers i have heard ran out of steam rather quickly and we had quite a few on the block ( Dad had the Altec Valencia's ) You are correct, they are bass bins. Good down to 40Hz, which is pretty amazing! BTW Randy, the A4 had a big brother. The A1. Almost 3 times the weight! I only know all this cause I googled it and found the original sales thing. Here is a link: http://www.greatplainsaudio.com/vintage_altec/VOTT%20Catalogue%201983_saleslit_ALL.pdf exactly the A1 cabs were used for night clubs as they were basically 2 factory ready built A4 Cabs bolted together with more internal bracing -which explain the higher weight - -the trick back then was to buy 2 A4 since they were cheaper and also easier to ship -handle and mount - we would close the frontal ports - and add thicker panels for rigidity and bolt them together - single A4 were not used at all -

exactly , my point , yours is cheaper - thanks

did you ever try the K-402/k-1133

the k604 tractrix horn mated to the k53 motor was your preference- coincidently , PWK saw the future with the Chorus 2 / Forte 2 -

am I to understand that you really like the K61 horn with the k53 non-titanium and the k402 with the k69 equally -

the scalas all pretty much have the same sound except the La scala Industrial which handle more power -good luck -there are a few places for purchasing capacitors in Montreal -

more pictures can help us - first you must listen to the speakers and see if they suit you - depending on how old you are - you will either like them or hate them -since you have to do the repairs - the seller must account for this -all in all a 250$ rebate is in order to repair the cabs and upgrade the crossovers - -Scalas are for classical - jazz , , dance music is not their mission - -1979 Scala is the AA crossover , about 100$ to upgrade - not including labour - capacitors last 20 years on average -the rest of the compoents - can still be ok -but you would have to check them with an ohmmeter - - the woofer is a k33 - 4ohms - the midrange K55V 16ohms - the tweeter K77 Alnico -round diaphragm -8ohms - for 1000$ US or 1200$ CAN $ -you should expect a pair in good cosmetic shape and in working order -

Altec VOT really maxed out in the 70's as huge halls were the norm - by the mid eighties - they were gone , too big - too monstruous - the biggest sub man ever built was the A4 - -the staff used to sit in the cab to feel the bass -it would rattle the fillings out of your teeth

the replacement is a factory refurbished equivalent model - now that can mean a repaired factory unit - or can also be a brand new product -one can easy tell once the product arrives -

429$ on ebay -http://www.ebay.com/itm/2014-YAMAHA-2D-3D-WiFi-Multi-Zone-All-Region-Code-Free-DVD-Blu-Ray-Disc-Player-/331475919652?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d2d812324

I have an identical pair - K33E -K55V-K77 ALNICO - really nice and priced relatively low for the condition - someone grab these as they are mint -

Are they still for sale? I am getting the Jubs next week , they are very impressive , it was either getting k-Horns and spending money to upgrade them , or the Jubilees that are in a class of their own -

quick question - why switch to tubes now - what were you using so far - if I am asking it's because I have Cornwalls myself and your questions are a mirror -

PM me pictures and I will get back with you to tell you what you have - 100% original - electrovoice and the last batches made -

here is the reverse side of the diaphragm with the screen and the connectors as they mount over the horn - once aligned with the positive and negative - screw in four screws - no soldering at all - this guy calls it by it\s right name -factory k77 F diaphragm - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Klipsch-La-Scala-Factory-K-77-F-Tweeter-Horn-Diaphragm-Faceplate-Assembly-127126-/151254367672?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2337767d

life is too short -

It has to do with Randy's quote about being something wrong with them because the price was low. My point was, just because the price is cheap doesn't mean that there is something wrong with the speakers. right on , just like a guy last year , who won this huge lottery - http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/04/02/california-lottery-official-sole-winner-425m-february-powerball-jackpot-comes/

pure copy , right down to the badge - no imagination - $2 less than a pair direct from the Klipsch factory! Tempting - i recently heard a pair of Jubilees - barely used - 5k$ - really nice - and by the way - Mike at House of Klipsch has a pair of 60th khorns - I wonder what these will go for -

pure copy , right down to the badge - no imagination -

Pictures can help me give yoiu the info - were they in EV boxes with the ev logo -if you have the box , it can help as well
