Sonic Differences between Altec 417 & 414

Posted by waj4all on October 14, 2012 at 10:07:25:
Hi,

.

I once owned some Altec 417s (musical-instrument spkrs, really). Wasn't too impressed with them in a pro-sound/hifi application. I'm now thinking of acquiring some 414s.

.

Can anyone describe the similarities or differences in sound between the 417 and 414, especially regarding lower-mids and bass reproduction for hifi?

.

Thanks

waj4all.
