Picked up a nice pair of Altec A7s yesterday. My first Altecs! I have some questions if anyone would be so kind to help me out. The Drivers are 802-D8 on the 511b horns and 416-8A woofers. Plywood construction. They do not seem to be a matching pair, if you look at the 802-8A driver pics you will see the badges are very different looking. Otherwise, they seem to be identical by outward appearances. I have read on here that bracing/dampening the horns and cabinets is key to good sound, as well as adjusting the woofer vent size to dial in the base. Please see attached pics and make any comments you think might help me learn about these cool speakers. Remember, it's all about the music. |
