    Not sure what I would do with them, but very cool indeed!

    Re: Add to wish list

    From the questions to the seller it looks like a few people have their own stash of Altec large format drivers

    That is a pretty cool pair. How do the multi driver horns like that sound? Is there any comb filtering etc going on with two drivers or do they basically combine to make one? Basically are they good for HiFi at all or only for auditorium use?

    Looks like the bidding got up to 2,125$ before the seller pulled the plug. Someone probably made him a good offer to end the auction

    When I was working with Altec I had a talk with one of the speaker guys. He gave me an explanation, much of which went over my head, but he said the reason the drivers face forward as opposed to angled towards each other like most Y-throats, was for just that reason, to minimize comb filtering.

    I love the 329, frankly I consider it Altec's best horn. Not to be confused with our beloved moderator.

    Thank you for the explanation. I figured they had a good reason to design the throat like that. Seems like these guys were no dummies with loudspeaker design

    The guy I just bought a pair of 616 woofers from has a single 329 horn for sale. It has a single driver throat on it. Way out of my price league of course
