Altec 805B horns, anyone here heard them?
I’ve wondered how the 805B sounds versus the 511E.
Any of the experts here have an opinion? ;)
Re: Altec 805B horns, anyone here heard them?
Caveat emptor, I'm not a big fan of the 511e. I think the 805's have a much clearer and smoother mid. Just my opinion...

I have a pair of 805s. they seem to be more evenly spread sound than the 511s I've had. i can't imagine that putting a larger driver would change that.

Not really, but a guy on Facebook is looking to sell a pair.
I'm not sure if this link will work, but here's a link.
Link doesn't work on this forum.

the subject of markus klug came up here a while ago on the forum and the concern was the throat workmanship of which I never found a picture.
Well, I found this: https://www.monoandstereo.com/2015/0...lug-horns.html

Your ears didn't fail you. ;)
Note the 511B Vs 805B polar responses.

No, I see Bill is one of the admins…i sent him a message in facebook yesterday.
I wonder because I destroyed my facebook account a year ago and had to re-enlist for this and other reasons.
Maybe a new facebook account is suspect? I don’t know except the request to join still states “pending”

Also, although this thread is about the 805…my trajectory is pointing to a pair of wooden 1005 horns, so experiences with the 1005B versus 805B are most welcome. :)
