Thanks guys, after more study, I think I have a plan to update my series 1's to match the series 2 crossover ( 2uf & 10uf cap)

Earl K, the schematics and measurements are a big help. If I loose the .67mh coil it looks as if the nasty peak at 2k will drop a bit. I will also change out the caps. To series 2 values.

Voice of the theater, thanks for the the listening notes and comparisons. Helps verify that smooth rise is actually preferred.

As much as I appreciate the guys restoring and reviewing a pair of 14's, I think they may have been using the 1st gen crossover with the "restorative peak" for their listening before going active.

Looks like the Altec team did indeed improve the design in the later gen 2 versions. Nice to know.
