I think some of you may live in driving distance, might be worth a look/listen. 2 A PAIR OF HUGE ALTEC LANSING SPEAKERS MODEL 604E AND CONTROLS IN THE CABINETS | eBay

The guy in the photo makes the cabs look small - a plus if you have to win over wifey.

I'd like to hear that design. just for the heck of it.

It probably gave the best LF but the worst open airy sound you could get.

WE PARTIALLY TORE APART THE CABINET OF ONE TO PHOTOGRAPH AND IDENTIFY IT

Looks like the hamfisted seller tore apart both of them too me........ I've not seen the cabinets up close, but I have hard time believing there was no way to get into them without tearing stuff up. I guess I should be appreciative they didn't use a sawzall.

I'll agree with the tore reference.

They look like most backloaded horns to me, a waste of time and material. I see a nice pair of 604E's and a bonfire there.

Bass?

C'mon horn theory guys, what's the lowest possible tuning for those given the limited mouth area?

IMO, that design limits the LF performance, and creates phase issues in the working BW of the "bass horn".
