Hi All,
Here are pictures of the Tannoy I tested. I am not trying to say the Tannoy is better than everything, just that the Altec 604, has a poor horn design.
Due to this flaw, it will not sound as good as the Tannoy, in the voice range, due to poor integration.
I have wanted to rip out the horns in my 604's and replace them with a cut-down Potato Masher JBL lens--the short one.
Then put it in the big tannoy box, or the RCA rearload horn, and the clarity of the Altec HF driver would shine through. Someday.
I have not had time to finish the RCA rearload plans.
I have a fondness for the Masher, but it is not without flaw either.
I don't want to tread on anyones toes!
I have lost the name of the amp, it is made in Ottawa, Ontario Canada.
Bill
