Hi, In my a previous set up I used Altec 420a as midrange drivers and really enjoyed them. I sadly had to sell that system a couple years ago, I am now in search of a midrange driver with some of the same smooth qualities but at a less expensive in price. Are there any such units you would recommend using between an Altec 416-8a and an Emilar EA-175/EH800 combo? Vintage paper cones with alnico motors are very appealing to me.
Thanks for looking

not even closeOriginally Posted by magnarc
The 416 actually goes higher than some 12's.
ALTEC 406-8Y 10" often show up on eBay for around $200 the pair.
Note- earlier 406 have a 2 inch voice coil. 3 inch on the 8y. The older 406 are slightly less efficient than the 416. 8y are almost identical.
Your neighbors called. They like your music.
Thanks Old Guy, I?ll look into that one for sure
Hmm, mids = 250-2 kHz = [250*2000] = ~707 Hz mean power distribution = ~13543/pi/707 = 6" effective diameter, so the pioneer's 8" is close enough. Now if there was such a thing as reasonably priced 755 series.
