8 ea 511B's
2 ea 811's
3 cast aluminum 32b
4 multicells. Somewhere still is a pair of 311-90 I haven't found since the move.
Plus I have the horns in my 604's and a pair in Valencias.
Haven't got to counting LF horns yet.
Anybody else a packrat?:2thumbsup:
36 horns so far, not counting LF
Maybe the redhead is right about me being hard to live with.
Your neighbors called. They like your music.
I didn't realize we were counting non-Altec horns too...... I could add a few more, then.After opening another gaylord, add 8 Community PC494, 6 more duplexes of the cheapie conical horn variety, one Big Mama 500hz Renkus Heinz

Hey it's all in fun I hope...that's how I meant it.
Hate to get too serious about making up rules....how about as long as the horn could be used with an Altec driver?
I don't think we need more rules than that? Whatever the majority feels?

To borrow a funny concept from a post on AK...... you could substitute sardines for bananas while making banana bread....... you be the judge on if it works or not :laffingassoff:
I edited my list....... still not as many horns as many other in the thread. That doesn't bother me, so much as not using the horns I do have. I tend to collect bits and pieces of several things, and never get all the pieces of one thing.

Actually have used Altec drivers on many other horns. The large ones work especially well.
Can be iffy sometimes with the small format.
At some point I wanted to get 299's for the Community horns. Nice combo.
Not as good as 311's but for a small portable system, nowhere as big.
The old "you pays yer money and"
I'm working on some hillbilly engineering for the 617/619

The LF section is true Altec, but the HF is a University T50 from like 1956. Cheap and phenolic, not a good combo.
OTOH it looks like an easy job to adapt a BMS to the nice Altec conical horn...which would turn Altec's ugly ducking into a swan....
Film at eleven. Actually more like end of May.

Well, I'd have to enter this contest with people other than you guys if I wanted to win. Quite the collection you all have. Maybe I'll have to save my pennies.
HF:
Pair 811B
Pair 511B
Pair 1803B
LF:
Pair 825
Pair 210
And about a dozen other sets of HF horns but I don't think they count on an Altec forum.
Nothing like a great big pair of speakers to make your day.

It is interesting to see how many Horns we all have.Altec produced boatloads of horns,drivers,etc.And it is real nice to see that alot of it is surviving.Hopefully for a very longtime to come.For the next generation to be able to experiance top-notch audio equipment that we were fortunate to have. :2thumbsup: :flagwaver:
