I have 416-8a's, 806's with 511B horns and 501 8A CO's. It has been suggested that I cross them at 800 or even 1200 instead of the 500 where they are now to get a "warmer" sound. Apparently they used 500 to make the horns project more which is fine for a theater but not so great for home.

So how about some comments. I would like to stay with Altec and note the 801 CO will X at 800 and the 1201's at 1200. My 501's are in fine shape , and if someone has a pair that they'd trade that would work out great.

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated. I wish I knew more about what's what--------I don't know a cap from an L pad.
