Nothing like randomly placing a bunch of drivers in a box!
Web used to be a local speaker manufacturer. Most of what I have seen of theirs kicking around is crap (many did use decent oem woofers, though). Funny thing about most of them is that the cabinets tend to be high-quality build, and usually look quite nice. When it came to putting the speakers in the box though, yikes...

I could use a couple of those midranges. :sigh:

"Rectilinear" always struck me as a proctological term
I hope they sound better then they... sound.
lol Dr. B. Maybe the White Van version would have been LinearRectum..?
Pretty sure that Web was big on Utah drivers -- have never seen anything with an Altec in it.

I took a look at those woofers again, and I don't see any lead wires on the perimeter of the dust caps. I also see that the 4-5" mid's are set in a circular counter bore, like they were not original to those cabs. The midbass'es look like Altec 406 woofers. I've seen aftermarket Altec recone kits with that reddish un-doped accordian pleated surround too. Some of the aftermarket kits did not have the proper vented dustcap like those do. Dunno. What do you think? :scratch2:
Well, someone's just going to have to ask. 
I'd pretty much bet lunch that those are Utahs, though -- have seen quite a few oem'd woofers by Utah that look like that with the accordion cloth pleats. Web apparently would only spend money on the cabinets..:scratch2:

Well, the fellow has re-posted -- even more drivers to this setup than I'd thought!

I would think distortion would be very low, they might sound pretty good.

Yeah, those orange-surround large woofers look a LOT like Utah stuff I've seen. Either that, or maybe EV or Jensen...
Smaller woofers could be Rola, CTS or Philips...
Mids could be Philips/Norelco, Heppner or CTS.
Tweeters, Pioneer or CTS?

Gordon.

Some of the cabinets do look like rescued McIntosh cabinets, don't they?
Probably $400 worth of something there...
