AlNiCo 604H with mantaray horn

[Elitopus1]

I was browsing ebay this morning and came across this pair of 604H with 612 cabs. Brand new from what the seller says. Anyways I am more interested in specs of these than actually buying them. I don't have an extra 7,500$ bucks right now

I didn't know they made any AlNiCo 604 with the mantaray horn. Isn't that horn a 7/8" throat? I checked my 604 reference site and indeed the 604H is the last AlNiCo 604. And it did come with the mantaray.

So is there a horn/driver mismatch on these, or is the horn a 1" throat?

I can't answer your question but for that kind of money I would want nicely verniered cabinets, not something that looks like it came out of a night club.

Interested in this also! What sounds better to most ears, I always assumed that the h would being a newer horn type. Why did they reduce the coverage angles in the h model? Thanks!

I prefer the gray cab Altecs. There is something about industrial look that makes me think of them as more of a tool/piece of equipment than a piece of furniture that goes in the living room. Plus the gray Altecs sound the same and are cheaper than their veneered siblings.

The ones I like are the rare silver gray cabs with these decals: http://home.earthlink.net/~dwojo/sit...c_a7_decal.jpg

Those are pretty cool! I haven't seen those decals before. Is that an original style? If so what models did they come on? Older A7's maybe?
