Early A5s on ebay

[Audio_by_Goodwill]

I wish I could find a pair........ and have room to use them! For those that remember, I had a single cabinet with no components in storage for several years. I finally sold it to another board member that was trying to make a pair. I can't recall his username off hand, Though. He doesn't post very often. I should see if I still have his email address and see if he's had the time to restore it yet. He was talking about possibly changing the baffle board to hold two woofers.

Interesting. It occurs to me that the horn size/flare rate and reflex volume of the cabinet are very similar to the Simplex "W" cabinets that were made by Altec in both single and dual woofer versions.

Those are some real beauties.

Yes, I remember you having one of these. You had mentioned about it sometime back. You had even posted it's outside dimensions. I am very much attracted by these VOTTs. To me they look so gorgeous,....like some special version of the A7. I have been toying with the idea of diy-ing a pair for myself for quite sometime. But in the absence of any exact cab. details, and also complete lack of feedback on the SQ, has stalled it. Recently while browsing thru my data files, I again read about them in Jim Dickinson's "Altec Large/Small VOTTs". As per him they really were good SQ-wise. By any chance did you ever happen to take the measurements of their dimensions ?

The H110 A5 cabinet dwarfs the 825/828 cabinet of the A7 and late A5.

Not any more that what I posted. They're simply too big (wide) to get through most doors. That's why I never used the cabinet I owned. I'm still happy to have had the chance to own it.
