That's an interesting driver, I wondered what bi-flex meant, and found this:
It has same basket as the bass drivers with 15 inch cast frame and Alnico V magnet, but the paper cone is divided into two, connected by specially selected suspension. It is like a 20 cm midrange glued to the circular remains of a bass driver. At frequencies around 100 Hz the mechanical coupling allows the surrounding bass part to start moving. Above that - the surround is too heavy and behaves like a frame. Very clever, inn'it? I think someone called this a "mechanical crossover".

I'm interested. PM sent.

I have a pair or 15" Altec 420a BiFlex woofers and a pair of 811b horns. Asking $300 for all plus shipping from BC.
Thanks for looking
