Also have an 808 driver paired with a 511 horn, thinking about sending mine to GPA for an 802 conversion. Did you give any thought to this option?
Cheers
Follow Ups:
The only thing I discussed was upgrading the diaphragms, but Bill at GPA thought it might be better to sell the 808's and go with new GPA 802-8G alnico drivers.
I would probably have to sell the 808's for a $$$ loss, so I will keep them.
Adding in a horn tweeter or whatever for the high end is no problem.
Got some 414's and dual 31 band EQ on the way, that will finish off my Altec system for now.
Also have a pair of badly abused 802s from the '70s, need new diaphragms, also possible remag, and new connectors. Have to call Bill tomorrow to find out if it's worth the time and money, or just go with new GPA 802s.
Cheers
New GPA diaphragms are about $180 a pair and a new 802-8G is about $260 each.
Got an Alto AEQ231 31 band graphic EQ hooked up today.
Took me a few minutes with the PC RTA to get a flat response in room and it is super quiet using unbalanced RCA in/out jacks.
No more trying to EQ at speaker level.
