Joe,
Do you know the differences other than 4ohm vs 8ohm for the Altec 756A vs 756B? I use the 756A in an open beffle. I am very curious about your cabinet.
Thanks Frank

I am building a 2.5 cu.ft slant front box and i will leave space to mount a 32B horn with 802 to try a 2 way.
That is I'm trying to get a semi-local guy to build them....if not, might talk to my bud, KLOSS. He has a saw.
The Altec is not as nicely made as the WE, at lest on the surface. No handles and the steel frame *might* be a little thinner. Also uses a cloth rear vent like the 755A instead of a perforated metal type as found on the WE 756A.
Hey I don't think we should get into a heavy Altec/WE discussion here since the purpose of this forum tis to provide a venue for readers to hassle the ever-patient John Atkinson.
The point is the get the Art-Man hooked up with 755s. He might already have 3 pair in the barn for all we know! I am certain he is well aware of the existence and legendary quality of the speaker.
...more Altec Pr0n
I'm burnt on vintage gear collecting since I had more than my share back in the day, but I am very excited about giving these drivers a shot.
I get my kicks with the Silbatone Collection. My best stuff from the 80s when I was an addicted accumulator is part of this archival stash.
I figure I'll lay in a pair of 756s, a pair of 755As, one small horn system, then I'm cool. And oh yeah, I have a pr of GIP 18" field coil woofers, so I guess I'll need a complete set of drivers and horns for that too.
But, overall, I'm reasonably normal now, I swear...
Why does this interest me so? My mind must be warped,maybe its a genetic defect that makes one crave old stuff, thanks for the pic.
