In Reply to: RE: Rear Panel of a ALTEC VALENCIA , stock or modded?? posted by drlowmu on March 09, 2017 at 22:27:55
JM,I heard a set of Valencia (416Z-16 , 806-16A w/aftermarket diaphragms, 811-A horn, 800Hz x-overs stock wirings) at a local vintage hi-fi retailer. The back panels didn't have the extra mod blocks
They had a soft , rolled off top end.
Those speakers need some EQ to flatten out the mids, maybe the 30923 altec compensation circuit would work and could be done for cheap $$$.
Upgraded to 802's, still try the compensation circuit.
YMMV.

Good description and comment. Yes, we will do some things to them.
The 806 driver is not as robust, and it needs to be changed out, entire speaker BEGS to be well-REWIRED, recapped, put on risers, etc etc etc.
Thanks for posting.
Jeff
