Hello,
Melaudia is an active French association of music lovers and audiophiles of which I am a member.
We organize several times the year "group listening weekends".
Last weekend we use to listen, in monophony, to a vintage system based on the famous Western Electric horn WE15A which one was loading the compression drivers WE555W (2 other compressions drivers were used too for comparison).
As the tweeter we used a replica made by Eltus of the famous WE597. Our friend Julien Sullerot is the happy owner of those vintage horns and drivers.
The bass was delivered by the Onken W enclosure (with 2 x Altec 416-8)
First pictures taken during the week end are visible on Melaudia forum at:
Retour de Rueil, avril 2010 : WE15A & Co
Most of the time the WE15A was used full-range ( = unfiltered) with some adition in the bass, from the ONken W and in the treble, from the WE597.
Best regards from Paris,
Jean-Michel Le Cléac'h
