Where do these fit into the Altec timeline, and product lineup? I don't recall hearing of this model before.

Early 80's, the lone alnico in a sea of new ferrite drivers. I have also seen "LFE" versions. I think they are essentially a "high power" version of the 515B, but don't quote me on that.
EDIT: now i see the LFE was likely a ferrite replacement for the LF version.

Interesting! When I saw it on GPA's site, I thought it was strictly a custom to meet the needs of today's high power requirements. Mercy! One of these has almost as much dynamic headroom as two 515Bs and in a much smaller net Vb to boot!

Interestingly, the GPA 515 LF is rear vented.
Your neighbors called. They like your music.
Yes that is an early G HP.
Later ones had screws in the magnet to hold it to the frame.
