    Altec 515C pair for 400 BIN

    One is working and and the other needs a recone. I would be on these if I didn't just buy another 604G

    One is double vented.
    You'd end up with a mismatched pair unless you reconed both.

    I thought many of them had that hole and it was just capped. I have not seen a rear vented 515. I'm very curious if there is a cap under that other label

    And yes for best results they should both be reconed

    Naw I didn't get them. I just spent my monthly HiFi budget on the Urei 604. I also have another possible deal coming available soon.

    I really want to find another 16" 515b. The B and C have slightly different magnet covers and I want them to match

    So whats the word on those 425 drivers? Are they good for HiFi or are they more for MI like the 417?

    never heard of a 425 till I saw the listing. i'm not sure what they're like. but they are unique. anyone else have a clue?

    I am looking at a pair of 3127s. I have what I think might be one. it came out of a 937. (also came with a crossover and a 902/mr931-12), I got for 16$. but it has a frame like an EV. sort of like the 3182

    I think bowtie said he has a few 3127. I'm sure he will chime in on those.

    They seem to still be pretty reasonable in price. I wonder how they sound compared to a ferrite 414. They look like just a newer version
