Live Sound Designs Grand Theater System original demo pair. These are exact reproductions of the famous RCA MI 9462 bass cabinet, and Altec 1505 multi cell horn, recreated in stunning all wood configuration. The bass cabinets are loaded with 4 (2 per box)freshly re coned  Electro Voice 15 W bass drivers. These are the same drivers used in the highly regarded EV Patricians and others of that era. Not to be confused with the less desirable 15Wk used in the Klipsch speakers. I have an additional pair of EV drivers I can include for an additional $650. wiring is with vintage Western Electric high purity copper wire. The wooden horns are built entirely of Tilia wood, using all natural glues and shellacs', eliminate the ringing inherent in metal horns, giving a much smoother and sweeter mid and high frequency curve. They are driven by are driven by Great Plains Audio/ Altec 288 Alnico drivers(one per horn) In addition, they have reproduction Altec N 500 crossovers, designed to allow either single or bi amped passive crossover, eliminating the need for an active crossover.

-Bass cabinets         : 84"x32"x34"

I'll veneer them for you at that price, and even throw in the supertweeters.

 

The RCA do sound better in the midrange than the Altec or JBL varients, none have any real bass.

"Cool picture djk"

 

Listened to them (in a friend's shop) for about 30 years.   

 

With the death of my friend they went to a community theater in Topeka.

 

My experience with the RCA/Altec/JBL products led me to design this (for dedicated midrange):

I originally used dual 15's, but later switched to dual 12's as the cabinet could go much higher than all the older designs (higher with the 12's, the 15's could go just as high, but needed EQ to counteract their lower mass roll-off).
