Would really love to have a pair of the passive three way crossovers from the 9861's, 1200hz & 8000hz.
Seems 1200hz is a little steep for 411-8A's.

These are pretty interesting to me too for selfish reasons. I want to know what 288B's are going for these days....

You are aware you can't get 288B frams?

Hmmm...I thought the 288B's could be modified by GPA to use an updated 'phragm.

Am I mistaken?

1200 seems extremely steep for a 411. That speaker had me scratching my head
the last time it came up. Seems to have been built with all left over parts from
other speakers. The xover was a simple first order band pass between 1200 & 8000.
How 101 can you get...................

These were one of the things the Japanese market wanted. The 902-8A with 811B would be much better replaced with a large format driver (say, a 288 w/511E),IMHO, if it would fit. The cabinet is probably not deep enough without cutting the backboard for the driver (sans early 846's w/ 804/806 & 811). A 500 or 800hz crossover seems fitting for the 411 in the 9861, as in the 873A Barcelona. Maybe the horn load yielded some civilization for 1200hz.
1200hz & 8000hz works for my horn loaded 515-8LF's w/ 288-8G/511E, & 802-8G (A7-500WII).
