RE: Altec Valencia Cabinet Mods

I would like to recommend that you also consider a mod that can be made to the Altec 811 horn.
Take a look at the post "Factors Affecting Sonic Quality" by Jack Bouska.
I added some dampening around the lips of my horns and also inserted some foam inside (a credit to Geddes). There was a noticeable reduction of the classic "horn honk" or color. However it should be noted that I was unable to measure the change since I do not own the appropriate equipment.
Altec partly addressed the problem with the foam inserted around the exterior of the horn on the Model 19.
You can easily test it out for yourself.
