some info here: http://www.heathkit-museum.com/hifi/hvmhh-1-c.shtml
incredible speakers. will shake walls with even low powered amps. very nice midrange as well. i bought a pair for a several hundred $$ years ago, but just the drivers alone are worth probably $1200. you'll find a pair of 414 woofers and 811 horn with one of the 800 series driver.

Not if it's a Legato. Legato is MUCH bigger.
Legato will have two 803 or 416 15 inch woofers(depending on vintage), and an 802 driver on 511B horn.

I had to look up "legato" to see if there is a literal translation of the word.
I assumed it would have something to do with physical size.
As it turns out, it has more to do with the "quality" of music.
Wiki says: In musical notation the Italian word legato (literally meaning "tied together") indicates that musical notes are played or sung smoothly and connected..........................
