Altec components-value?

[Alberto86]

hi all

I have an opportunity to catch very soon to buy some altec components.

Anybody knows what the total value of the following: (all in good shape and working properly)

4 pcs -> 414-16E Woofer
2 pcs -> 811-B HF Horn
2 pcs -> 902-16A HF Driver unit
2 pcs -> N800F - Dividing Network

Thanks all in advance.

Best

Hi Alberto,

Those are good questions but I'd suggest you check the AK rules on postings. The questions you have are best suited to Dollars and Sense.

Cheers,

Those are the component load for the late model 9844B this was pretty much slapped together by the marketing department. The 902 driver neither belongs on the 811 horn, or crossed over as low as 800hz. Optimally, the 902 should be on a horn with a 7/8" diameter throat, and not crossed below 1200hz.

The ferrite 414s are more sensitive than the alnico versions. But, they sound nothing like the alnico 414's, they don't have the LF extension and are quite midrange forward. But for their low power handling they would be suitable PA drivers.

As for values ebay is a very good guide except you might wait a bit to see ferrite 414's. They didn't make large quantities of those, probably for good reason.
