regarding big boxes - MJK's software is miraculous ; I'll soon having 240L MLTL boxes for my K3809's
not that smaller than big original Tannoy BR boxes , but wth much better low end ; and , when you made them slim and tall (44W x 52D x 130H) , footprint is rel. small

Yeah yeah. I was hoping to get used pair. $800 ou tof the gate is rough, although it may be only choice.
in case that I'm living at that side , these will sing in my living room : Altec Lansing GPA 414 414-8B 414-8C NEW | eBay
Forgot about those. There is always sub....if needed. I yake it this means you are somewhat uneasy about used pro type speaksand possible abuse.
I have been told by a few people that know Nelson's amps that they place well with Klipsch La Scalas especially with upgraded horns, crossovers and a low end mod. Finding a restorable pair at a reasonable price is a challenge 🙂🙂
If I tried to follow your advice my wife would I have me moving everything out to the barn. With the hay bales, I could get some good sound damping but the raccoons and skunks might be a problem for the open baffle speakers.Throw out two couches, hang giant tapestry in hole containing speaks, add speaks of choice.Got window isdues to deal with. Gonna load right side more than left due to wall proximity. Like the layout, ceiling is good, but rest it is murder for setup. I would venture that nearfield lsitening is best bet to reduceroom inferaction. Good news is, you haven theard amps or speaks yet
I have nice FR moniters and will be building OB and horyns shortly. Now convincing wife to rearrange entire liyving room to accomomadate system. Thats why i stopped with amp expkoartion. Gotta start makin gthings pretty. You have a lovelt home, BTW. Other swill have better advice, i am sure
😀 A barn would be perfect!😀
ZM,
414 or 416. 414 has much better range and could cross above vocal range to horn. Price difference is negligible...$20. Room is only 16' squared.

Thiele/Small Parameters for Altec LF Loudspeakers
Oh yeah, Is alnico worth $100/speak? Some say yes. Some say no. I tend toward yes, but you have probably heard both.

This wall maybe beneficial for in-wall drivers; possibly operating in infinite baffle depending on what is behind it be it the outdoors or another room; preferably the laundry room.
AlNiCo yes , if wallet permit
difference between 414 and 416 - I would go with bigger one , if you have place for cabs
considering that my listening experience with both types is distant past , maybe you can ask Big Cal and/or boyz at Who Cares for Ariels thread
whatever - from my experience with all things Altec , you can't err choosing them .
did you found any graphs for 414 and 416 ?
edit: whatever you do , stay at VoT principle - xover acoustically in 800-1K3 range ; that's already critical enough , no need for going up more

can find one for 414 for sure

I guess your right. It was Ilquams fought. He asked about speakers. Never one to miss an opportunity, I......
Then again, we are talking speaks that would suit this amp very well, I think.

At least we are not talking about bicycles with the chief moderator chiming in with his spoke count. LOL
Are you guys forgetting this amp will probably be part of a bi-amp or tri-amp system? This amp could be on the top and a F5T could be on the bottom. Doesn't that open the possibilities for other compatible speakers? After all what are we going to do with all the other amps on the work bench?
