RE: Sonic Differences between Altec 417 & 414
Posted by waj4all on October 16, 2012 at 13:16:05:
Thanks for the responses, so far.

Alpha Al; very interesting. Amandarae; very nice system - awesome, in fact. Are those tt-plinths (at the top) versions of Nantais' 'Classic'? (I'm guessing the tt on the right is a Lenco).

To me the 417s, used as mid-woofers in a purely hifi application, would be less than exemplary - based on my experience with them. I was hoping the 414 would be much much better, especially at lower-mids. I'm inclined to accept Alpha Al's assertion that they're 'drastically different animals' as I cannot imagine anything with sonics anywhere near the 417 being as highly-acclaimed as the 414 is.
