Ok, no reply?, let's reformat to Great Plain's Mantarays.???? What's the diff from the 511B's?
Over at AK is a thread of what speakers everyone would like to see resurrected. So using Great Plains' drivers; 416-8c, 902's, some crossover I don't know what, and a used 511b horn with those $900 M-23's on E-bay, what would it cost to reproduce all of that?

VH I was typing I know I'm quite slow...
First of all I wouldn't use the 511 just for the fact that it wouldn't be a real Model 19. If you are going to go through all the trouble of getting replica 19 cabs you might as well do them right.Otherwise I would use a different cabinet with the 511.
OK what you need to put together a pair of 19's and the cost:
Cabs - $900
802-8G's $516 Altec Lansing GPA 802 806 802-8G Series II Alnico NEW | eBay
416-8B's $720 Altec Lansing GPA 416 416-8B Alnico NEW | eBay
811B's $150-$200
1201-8A or the Z19 about $200
TOTAL - $ 2536 give'er take a $100 or two
Of course you can probably buy the drivers cheaper elsewhere but condition of gear will be a toss up.
Now if you have to add labor it will obviously cost more.The Crossovers you can put together yourself if you have some soldering skills.You can also have them made.I think Gordon W @ AK makes the Z19 on request.
Thanks AB, new, out the door.?
Never heard a pair, but $2700 for a pair that I am sure will sound great would be just fine with me. : Just for arguments sake.
Shouldn't they have been offering the 511's all along?

Did the 811B ever offer anything the 511B couldn't? How about the Mantaray's?
Ok, this is off kilter... let's build the Greatest, Modern, Altec Home Stereo Speaker? What would that consist of and how much?

DTS-182A
515B on front loaded horn
511E + large format driver,
3000G

crossover deployment would be critical

I didn't know what a DTS-18A was, so I googled it and found these.
