    You'll likely notice the HF extension vs the 806, as well as the ~3db increase in sensitivity. The increased sensitivity gives you the ability to use an EQ'd network(a la m19/N-1201) to further smooth the HF response.

    Hi Phil, I have that on my watch list, actually hi bidder at 99 cents, wonder what it will end at.
    Right now I'm just enjoying listening to these amazing speakers, they sound so natural on my system. But I do like to tinker. I've been studying the model 19, I see it crosses at 1200Hz. Would there be an advantage to do that with mine?

    That listing shows the Altec drawing which has the exit shown as 1 inch. I hope the seller provides an answer
    Opinion is only as valid as its verifiable supporting evidence.

    yeah it shows the infamous drawing. if the gasket wasn't taped over you could see the edges of the throat like 900s I have. I don't think Altec made a .875" gasket.
