How come i can never get to the bottom of Which of the two Vintage giants sound the best.
Jbls best has 300 C50 SR8 or 4530 but Altec has A1 A3 A5 A7 A19.
Im comfused. Im looking for the most efficient but the sweetest midrange mid bass and deep cello bass sounding of them all with airy sweet pleasant highs not ear piercing.
The question is silly, frankly. Do you think I'm going to allow somebody to say what sounds best for me? No way.
There is no one best. There are thousands of bests, at least.
I suggest giving up that silly quest and start enjoying what is out there.
Obvious your new here. In my minds eye, or ears, the A-7 can't be beat for mids. Unless you step up to a A-5 system. What makes these systems sound so good is that you can align the voice coils of both drivers at the cross-over frequency. The big drivers outplay the small ones but you loose high end. And it's all horn loaded. Hope this helps.
It's personal preference... For my ear's it's ALTEC ! It's like asking which tastes better, Vanilla or Chocolate ? For me it's Vanilla ! :biggrin2:
The best one is the one YOU think sounds better.
kinda like ford vs chevy,,Quote:

But, i'd dare place a minimalist wager that you'd agree this sounds pretty good:
