I have a chance to buy a pair of Altec VOTT Speakers. A brother of a friend of mine owns them. He lives in Iowa and I live in Arizona however, he is coming out to visit and said he would deliver them. He wants $800 delivered to Arizona. Here is the story on the speakers....
First, the center speakers in the picture are home made boxes for a pair of 418-8H woofers. I am unsure how he had them wired into the N809-8A crossover network. Also, the boxes don't appear to meet the requirements for that woofer. He said he bought them from someone who said they would work as a mid-range driver.
Second, The lower boxes appear to be original Altec boxes, however, they are different in design. This leads me to believe they are from different years. They both have 421A woofers installed.
Third, The compression drivers are 808-8A with I believe to be 511B horns.
VOTT speakers are two way speakers. I am unsure how to make this a three way and don't believe the two woofers are designed for this. I was considering keeping two of the woofers and set them up as a set of two way VOTT's. All the drivers are working.
Which woofers would you recommend keeping?
I know how much something is worth is subjective, however I was curious as to what others thought regarding this package of speakers.
Thanks
