    My guess yes. looks like a common Japanese tweeter in the center, but I think the original tweeter like that was from Poland.

    What does anyone think, if anything, of the 409 series?

    I haven't had the opportunity to listen to the 409 series, but if you want to, I'd head up to Santa Barbara.

    I liked them for car audio and used a pair in my old shop for FM radio. Since they're basically ceiling PA speakers designed to cut through a high noise ambient, there's no bass to speak of unless TL loaded and the tweeter needs shelving for most apps. FWIW, I recently recommended the EV 409 for an inexpensive in-wall mains + ceiling surrounds HT app, with separate sub system of course.

    Not bad but needed a woofer for sure. I had the 409B's. My first Altec product.
    Nothing like a great big pair of speakers to make your day.

    OG do you mean the square tweeters between the 409's or the tweets in the 409's ? The Tweeter in the Coax 409's kind a look like the the tweeters in my Voice of the Highways.I think they are 1.75". Which is Japanese and which do you think is from Poland ?

    But now that I look at them a little more closely, the tweets in the 409's look a bit larger.

    The rectangular square ones in the middle.

    I had ones from Poland early 60's and Radio Shack ones by Fostex in the 70's. Not bad from 7K up.
