    Does anyone know definatively which Altec Lansing components were used in the Heathkit AS-101 Loudspeakers? Did they change components over the years?

    I've noted one user claiming the HF drivers were 806 models, and another claimed they used 802's.

    I know the horns are the 811's and suspect the compression drivers are either 802 or 804 types as the high frequency range quoted for these speakers is 22,000 Hz.

    The Heathkit PN on my compression drivers is... 401-120

    Frequency range is 800 Hz to 22,000 Hz

    The Heathkit number of the low frequency driver is 401-149. (According to a post on this site the LF driver is the 416A.)

    Low frequency is quoted at 35 Hz to 800 hz.

    Thanks for your time in advance... Jacques

    Greets!

    It's my understanding that whatever Altec was putting in the Valencia for a given model year is what's in the Heathkit AS-101, so typically 416Z or 416A and 804 or 806, with early models being 16 ohm till the mid '70s IIRC. By the early '70s I'd quit paying much attention to their consumer line so not sure if they continued this format till Heathkit quit offering them sometime in the '80s.
