The Altec's are 416-8B and the horn is Azura 340.

Looks very good Dennis. I'm so impressed by the bass from the Altecs and I wasn't expecting it to be honest. So detailed.

Cheers The player is the Esoteric UX-1 out of my main system. I will get a matching Arcam CDS50 CD/SACD in the near future.Speakers work well for the small kitchen and computer room. Also have a Arcam rBlink Bluetooth Receiver for Iphone songlist.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 515 driver is very much the same as the 416 but has more power and dosen't go as low. B&C DCM50 very nice large format HF compression driver, I thought you may have had an Altec HF compression driver on the horn too. Here's an old pic of my horns, old schgool custom built Altec A7 VOTT cabinets using the 416-8A driver and Jabo KH-55 horn using a Altec 288C 24Ohms HF compression driver with a pair of REL Strata II subs. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
