.. I find it interesting that Valencia datasheet did not specify a
H.F. driver ..

Because it dosen't. It's a two way with the horn driver going out to about 14k htz. I us a Fostex or EV horn tweeter to extend the highs as I see fit.
... I meant the datasheet did not specify whether the H. F. driver was an Altec 802, Altec 806,Altec 807, or Altec 808.
For my Valencia's which were original Valencia A's, but I modified the cabinet to have the two big side vent tubes, and they use Altec 806 for H.F.
The Altec 806 has a shorter magnet, not as long as a 802,807 or 808.
That helps to explain why Valencia's need help on the High end.....
sometimes. YMMV .

Open the linked thread and scroll down. I have the same in the utility cabinet but came with 806 HF drivers which appeared to be original to the horns. Many mods later, they are closer to a model 19.
Thanks Mike
That was a very helpful link. .... With my (reconed to 416) Altec 421 L.F. Woofer, my Altec 808 H.F. drivers and my now Dual ported 846A cabinet....
I'm now calling my Valencia's a Valencia B ... AKA 846B.
I won't talk about the crossover....
