I don't want to tread on anyone's toes.

The 604 horn has a peak in it. Even filtered, the peak is there in time.

The Tannoy is very smooth in the voice-- very smooth.
I should have said poor integration relative to the Tannoy.

I just happened to be in a position where someone was kind enough to let me test the Tannoy's, so I thought I post the results.

However, I have never got past the peak in the 604. When you take a 802, and put it on a good horn, it is a very nice driver... no peak.

Everything I say is backed up by measurements.

The 604 is a fine driver, just don't get in a shoot out in the voice range against a Tannoy

On a scale of 1-10 the Altec is a 7.5. the Tannoy is 8.5 in my opinion.

Another point Tannoy drivers are expensive and hard to get. If you own an Alnico 604, think of what it would cost to make that driver today. They are a deal each time I go to sell mine, this fact makes me reconsider.

Enjoy your speaker, you could be stuck with a dome tweeter.

Best, Bill
