Mod thoughts, regarding stock ALTEC Model 19 crossovers.

Your not going to at least give them a chance? For many the Model 19 is the end game. Not sure of the drivers on your VOTT but if it uses 802's I'd do some swapping and give them an honest try.
Do some research on what you have before being so hasty to unload them.

Bill,

I have, in my A7-800s, 515Bs and re-done ( GPA ) 802Ds, on Emilar EH-500 type horns. I use a VERY custom crossover, DIY, 390 pounds of mass loading per box, and special mil spec wiring internally.

I like the 825-828 enclosure's horn loading of the 15 inch 515B, and so, I doubt a M19, ( with a woofer in a reflex box ), will "cut it" as well, particularly from 135 HZ up, where the A7 is horn loaded on the 15 inch driver.

Had I not had the A7-800s, I would mod and restore the Model 19s.

Each crossover film cap in a Model 19, ( Valencia, or A7 ) for the tweeter circuit, are in DIRE need of thoughtfully-added high-frequency bypassing, whew !! No one except one individual seems to do this , or knows how to do it well.

Thanks.
