[pepper]

Those are Valencia cabinets. I'd love to hear them.

The components appear to be 414z woofers and 3000g tweeters. Should sound nice.

Don't put much power on them and consider recapping the crossover. Those 3000g tweeters are fairly fragile and the only guy that rebuilt them died. They used a microphone diaphragm as the voice coil element, iirc.

Thanks for you help jeb98 it looks like you are correct
I will doing my first listen tonight

Didn't Altec make gold colored speakers for Seeburg juke boxes? Or was that just the horns?

Altec Seville aka Model 847A

Love the 414A/Z + 3000, great sounding drivers!

I guess I jumped the gun on calling those cabinets Val's. Probably different dimensions. They look exactly like my 836As.

Same proportions as the 846A, but the the 847A is only little more than half the size.

They're SMALLER? Is that a 12" woofer?
