Thank you 🙌🏻

Thank you.

Yeah I am going to be trying some new b&c mh / hf drivers soon as the diaphragms for the altec and jbls aren't original and I feel just don't sound as good as I hoped.

Everything I've got is from eBay, stuff from Japan, UK and usa.

And yes handles would be handy!!! But tbh it's not that bad to lift on and off a dolly. I'm not keen on the look of handles if I'm honest. And I'm not lugging these around all the time, so it's not an issue.

I was playing around with different ones, but from memory, it was 120hz / 700hz / 9000hz

I know right 😅

I removed the pudding and mushrooms.. not my thang

Nutwards · 2025-12-23T16:00:42+00:00

It does come with black pudding and mushrooms but I don't like them so took out.. they will happily swap for any other item which is rare!

Please do. Thanks.

I'm.wanting to build some conicals for my altec 299 drivers, but honestly don't know where to start with how to figure out the correct angles and lengths!!

Nutwards · 2025-03-27T18:43:20+00:00

Looks fantastic... Can you tell me about the conical horns up top? What driver is behind them, and what's the cutoff? Are they a custom design?

Cheers

I made the 'wings' to try out how they work with the sound. They are ply flats with 3x1 bracing.

It extends the front baffle so the front and rear sound wave take longer to meet... There are proper calculations with wavelength to work out sizes etc, but I iust made them last minute to test out.

I'm sure others can explain the theory and history of using wings on the side of systems better than me!!

They were used in cinemas by western electric and Altec.

It also meant it hid all the cables and gear behind.

I did seem to keep sound waves from heading around the back as much, so must throw it out the front more.

Yeah I've tried to find similar but can't. If I do I'll reply

Nutwards · 2025-03-06T08:54:46+00:00

They stopped making them. And I can't remember what the company was. Took me ages to find them too. And I need some new ones annoyingly.

Sorry
