    Anybody compared the two?
    Maybe, given the G is alnico, but was the last 288 WITHOUT the Tangerine phasing plug. Your K's, of course, have them. The H was the last to have alnico, and first with the Tangerine, only one with both.
    It may, or may not, be a selling point, depending on the buyer.
    So, does this affect the pool? I'll bet not.

    Alnico does certainly sound different, as does Neo. But it's been discussed to death here already, so I recommend searching the forum instead of re-opening the debate.
    Maybe you could point me to a thread where this was discussed to death. I searched the forum with various keywords like Alnico and 288 etc. etc. and I got a whole bunch of threads and none of them were related to 'The Debate'.

    Try alnico ceramic

    http://www.hostboard.com/forums/alte...20-alnico.html

    Anyway, in a nutshell the compression modes of alnico and ceramic are different....also try a net search, as this is speaker info in general not specific to Altec

    in the thread is a link to LH

    Well.

    I was wildly wrong. US$510 and reserve not met.

    Turns out that there were only one pair of diaphragms, and you had to install them.

    Will be curious to see if they relist.

    Sort of like the guy who has relisted a pair of 620/604-8g that many times, that the last round only went to $350-400. I think he must have an unrealistic reserve, and its pissed people of.

    That makes 2 of us. The last pair sold for almost $1400 but this pair I think may have some issues now that I have looked at them much more closely.They were probably driven hard.The fact that the original diaghrams are long gone.Plus the binding post issues they weren't obviously handled with much care.

    Wonder how much they'll go for? They look nice.

    Sales seem slow at the moment. My 604-8K pair did not sell. Very few bids, nowhere near reserve price. Maybe cause it's summer?

    This is a buyers market right now.And not a sellers market.Best time to sell I think is the winter time.When a lot of people are home and not out on vacations and things like that.And with it being the 4th of July holiday many picnics compounds the fact.
