In Reply to: RE: Another "crazy" e-Bay lisiting? Altec Model 19s. posted by George S. Roland on November 22, 2015 at 09:44:06
Considering one can get Khorn's for 1800 {and they walk all over Altec 19's} not only is the price out of whack... have noticed this wackiness has crept into Ebay as a whole... the 511 horn is FAR superior to the 811.

...a bit hyperbolic dontcha think? While the 19s are no paradigm of accuracy or neutrality, the K-horn is by far, the worst sounding speaker I've ever had the pleasure of owning. However, my biggest mistake was thinking their sonic flaws could be remediated thru use of modern HF drivers and fancy, non-stock xovers. WRONG! After many hundreds of $$ and countless hours of experimenting with various low/medium watt tube amps, I discovered their basic character is unchangable. And of course, YMMV.
Hmm, yes compared to the Altec 19 ... the song remains the same
I use JBL 2360 Horns in a 2 way configuration using Klipsch Khorn bass bins... I know of no other more realistic bass than a horn loaded bass system. Most people have never heard a Khorn in the right room. 13 foot ceiling 26 by 18 was one example given by Paul Klipsch... there are others. Am zealous DIY guy, is nothing to trounce a Altec 19...
Far harder to design a horn bass bin that betters the Klipsch Khorn bass bin.

...you feel the way you do.....you've converted 2/3 of your Khorns to JBL ;-) ;-)
Sigh; you are correct, Steve.
