I considered upgrading from MCM-1220 to GPA Altec 414 alnico.
T/S parameters for both drivers measured in ARTA, the 414 by another user and the 55-1220 I measured myself.
Ran both drivers in WinISD and they seemed to perform similar in every parameter.
I guess the 414 could drop in my test boxes with no issue.
I would think a $330 alnico driver would sound a lot better than a < $50 made in Taiwan MCM driver but not sure based on the WinISD data.
