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. Frequency response: 30-16000 kz +/_ 3db. Efficiency : 105 db -Bass cabinets : 84"x32"x34" Weight :500 lbs. per box, loaded -Horns : 32"wx20hx24d Wieght : 10lbs Edited March 28, 2015 by mikebse2a3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang guy Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 That Navajo rug ain't too shabby either. I wonder if that is a reproduction too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxr dad Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Nice setup, but I think the TV screen is a little dated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) $37K? 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. Edited March 28, 2015 by djk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minermark Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Great looking pair there. $37K+ ? I think we can beat that price with the "New" Pro-Klipsch line and have change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 "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).

djk Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 "Is that you (grinning ) so big next to the system djk?" That's my friend Joe Svec. I built four of those cabinets and sold Joe a pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
