A mate of mine has just picked up four working examples of the Altex 604E drivers. For those who don't know them, they're a 15" driver with a co-axially mounted compression driver. These are about 1965 vintage.
Datasheet here: http://www.voiceofthetheatre.com/images/604E.SuperD.1.jpg We don't have any cabinets or crossovers but I'm sure we can do something exciting with them! Any suggestions? |

Well apart from the obvious,put them on ebay and sell them for a fortune to some valve hi-fi nut.....otherwise i guess you could make four nice close floor monitors with them Chris?..im pretty sure they would be to fragile and to valuable for main PA use.

I think we're more likely to use them for some kind of studio monitor. Maybe we could use all four to make a surround sound setup!

Keep true to olden-days ethics and get yourself a quadrophonic amp, built four basic reflex boxes and hey presto, a truly vintage white elephant surround setup!
