Opinion is only as valid as its verifiable supporting evidence.
I'd like to have the 900 405's
Your neighbors called. They like your music.
Re: Altec - Crystal Cathedral
515Es with white cones - for that heavenly sound.

I bet those white coned 515's are still running strong.
I remember watching the "Hour of Power" with my grandma as a kid. Probably my earliest exposure to Altec Lansing

As I recall, Altec told them that if they didn't do something about the acoustics, the system WOULD NOT work.
They didn't, and it didn't. That's probably why rumor has it that Altec demanded payment in full before they'd deliver any products and the sound contractor demanded payment as work progressed, as well.
Altec recommended a pewback system on digital delayed speaker zones, but they wouldn't hear of it. The Altec system was eventually ripped out, several different systems were tried, and, to their utter amazement, the one that finally DID work was - GUESS WHAT? - a PEWBACK SYSTEM!
People in glass churches shouldn't throw sound....

Unhappy with JBL system: Crystal Cathedral Campus Buzz November 2012 - scroll down to 6.00PM post.
The cathedral is undergoing a revamp to suit the requirements of its current owners, the Catholic Church, and will re-open in early 2019. Another sound system??

Looks like the sound system was only one of their many problems. Geez
What happened to all those white-coned 515Es?Has anyone seen one?
