The reason for the big multicells was to match radiation pattern to theater size. To many cells in a home will affect performance. So while I have not heard Markus Klugs work. I have much experience with verous multicells. So unless collecting or setting up a mono system the large multicell wouldn't be the best option for most homes. In a way this is good news since the 8-10 cells are far more available and affordable.

Thank you for your message, Kloss, appreciated.
What do you think of the 1005B for home use?
Kind regards,
Jeff
If your rooms wide will work 803-805 are mostly the best choice. 311-90d also fine. Depends what the goal is. Multicells if set up with right bass system are musical machines but will not image like modern horn designs. They do have a real type of quality that other horn flares seem to miss. Keep in mind horns match best with horns if you just slap a multicell on ported box you're not hearing what this type of designs capable of. One of my old Altec A5s pictured
Beautiful VOTTs, Kloss! I'm thinking about putting together an A5, so you're right on. Any A5 advice?
Best,
Jeff
Depends on the end goal- a near clone or are you just considering the a5 basic design as a stepping stone? I myself would consider radials if seeking modern quality, the a5 clone if you want to hear what a a5 sounds like. I love my vintage gear but also run modern. Or combinations. of both.
I just want to hear what an A5 sounds like mostly, probably with some Hiraga-style crossovers. I've like what I've heard from Altecs in the past, so it seems like a fun project.
288 515b 1003-1005 find used a7 cabs local. They can be used in smaller rooms than most think just take much care angling and aligning horn. With 10 cell toe ins best if you want to push up against back wall feel free. You may need to brace altec cab. I would suggest getting altec horn mounts. Baffles are free bass so if you can add baffles it's worth it.
Gorgeous! Thanks for your suggestions, Kloss, appreciated!
Cheers,
Jeff
