Your neighbors called. They like your music.
The older ones I've used had the tweeter wired separately, so was able to just add a L-pad and if the HF roll off is too much, then one can wire a bypass cap around it to 'taste'.

I sent the guy a message--he is out of town right now and will check out shipping costs on his return. Would an equalizer tame the 2K hump Old Guy mentioned above??? What about ordering four 409's and using two in each inclosure--any improvement in that configuration??? Thanks for all the info guys--I really can't obtain "real" Altecs (severe WAF problem) so I thought this might be a way to tiptoe into the Altec world.

Are you just wanting to build a small set? I asked my brother what he has, he doesn't have that one but has some of these-

He says you can have a pair for shipping cost...USPS medium flat rate and a buck or two for packing material...it's the pair he was gonna give me but I need another pair of speakers as bad as I need to get a year older...
Kind of a hermit these days my messaging is off but I'll figure out some way to put you and he together should you decide you want them...

Interesting.
I have a case of NIB 8 inch coaxials that are a cross between what Tomt and OG have posted. The have the tweeter of OG's Altecs, but the motor and frame of the Atlas. They're branded MTX Oaktron and painted Oaktron's famous blue. I guess i need to get a pair out and see what they can do one of these days.
Not all vegetables make good leaders.
This is kind of funny. We've all got 8" coax's secreted away somewhere for a rainy day. Hah.
I have some atlas 8" coaxial pendant mounts in fact. I recall they sounded pretty good (they are packed up now), though I have nothing else 8" to compare to per se.
This spurred me to look up the driver, apparently they use the FA138 driver: Atlas Sound - FA138
Not Altec by any streatch afaik, but I checked the FR to see if they too had a 2k hump. Looks like they quashed in the FA138.
