Get new diaphragms installed my Micro-Mike. I don't have the contact info handy, but searching the forum, or going to the Unofficial Altec page should do it.

Found it... Thanks

I believe the 406 used in the 890C is different that the one used in the B; bigger voicecoil as I recall. Maybe I'm wrong but I remember a conversation about it on this or some other forum.

The 890c's woofs have 3" voice coils.I have 890cs and they are great.I remember a thread from somewhere mentioning that Ratshack back in the day had a horn tweet,same size as the 890c's Heppner but a much better
performer.Anyone know more on this?
The Boleros could use use help with the bottom end.I brought up some time ago about adding weight to the passives to hopefully improve low end response but haven't moved on it yet.
Seems that Boleros are showing up more and more lately,dontcha' think?
