    It'll cost another 200 to make them sound like Altecs.

    I'd pass. Home made labels don't make cheapies into real frams.

    They have screw terminal frams and push on spade leads in the caps. Hard to assemble.

    not me but it sure is tempting. I already have the 902s but how do they compare? phenolic vs aluminum?

    Do you mean symbiotik or pascalite?

    These worn old ears used to detect a marginal difference between pascalite and aluminum with the aluminum being a tad more airy and extended in the upper regions. We're talking about a small difference here. Not really sure i would hear a difference worthy of remark today.

    It would be interesting to see factory FR plots for both the 902 and the 909, but i only find one for the 909. Claimed FR for both is the same. But, that doesn't do anything to illustrate the subtle differences that "should" exist.
