Like to get some opinion and evaluation of a unit I came across on Craigslist
It's a klipshorn like folded bass horn and an interesting extension to the tweeter horn
Couple of questions for the more than I am experienced
Has anyone ever seen or heard an altec in folded Klipsch type horn?
Is the specific bass driver suited for this type of enclosure?
It appears to me the top horn enclosure attempts to extend the geometry past the cast metal horn embedded. Photo illusion?
I see alot of work put into these custom enclosures that has some attention to details from decades ago.

- Probably best with a K-33 driver, depending on throat width....nt - Coner 16:17:35 02/04/23 (0)
