my rig is kinda like the 19, but i have 414's (the 12" little bro of the 416..), and they really didn't shine until i shifted my crossover up from about 1000 to 1500.. granted-- i'm NOT using an altec horn driver or horn. but there's really something to be said for letting an older altec woof run a little looser-- i dunno if you're up into breakup with a 416-- i know I'M safe-- but in my experience, all those altecs'd run up to 2-3k without major problems.. i've only lived with the 414. whether its better matched dispersion between my drivers/horn, or just a more amenable place in FR for my drivers, i dunno.. but they both seem to like it too!
i also like old oil caps, and a mellower sound with a WAY less in-your-face presentation.. so take these things as part of any decision you make!
good luck!
