RE: Sonic Differences between Altec 417 & 414

Posted by amandarae on October 15, 2012 at 21:52:10:
I to had a very good set up with 414's using 802's on Azura horns cross at 850 hz. The 414's were installed on 612C BR cabs. Simple set up but very enjoyable!

I kept my mint 414's after all these years as I truly love the midrange it can reproduce but my setup evolved to a much bigger horns and thus a bigger bass driver(416). Bass is also good on the 414's for a 12" vintage driver but bettered easily by a 416 or a 515 IMO.
