I am looking at Altec drivers to combine with a Maxonic L406 (like Altec 416) 15 inch
What is the difference between these , starting with the 802 ...? Their specs all seem close
much thanks

Would love to hear from people with different Altec drivers like 802,806,etc...their listening experiences which of the drivers worked best for them.And can anybody suggest me a professional who services Altec units in Europe? (Germany,France,...) ? Much thanks!
Specs pretty well tells all, i.e. the bigger magnet is more powerful, so has more efficiency, ergo best for HIFI/low power apps.
No clue, but suggest these sites for all things vintage Altec:

When I saw the title, I saw the 3 pairs of small format drivers I have. I can't really be of any help, it was just the number recognition. 🙂
