Hello, I decided to join this awesome community after years of just reading. I am proud owner of Altec A2 all alnico system that I saved from trashing when a venue was demolished. I added Klughorns 1505b because original HF section was missing. I also love vintage JBL. Xoc Th-18 thread is what persuaded me to join and ask more.
Thanks. Yes this is me 🙂 They are fully working but need some visual repairs, still not decided how to make it, I want to leave them as original as possible... They were hanging in Istropolis building in Bratislava since 1981 until 2022.
Nice. I had just one pair of the 210 cabinets and one pair of the 825's for my outdoor gear.
My guess at your components:
515 bass driver
288 CD
1505 horn
N-500 XO.
How close am I?

515C-16 drivers, double 288, one pair is 16G, other is 16H, each from one type per horn... it was really hard to get them in Europe, they were empty, dias are brand new GPA that my friend bought during work in the US. 1505 horns are wooden from Markus Klug. Grey 210 boxes are original, communists imported them from the US, black pair is built from plans locally but they ordered 515s for them.. funny isn't it... Originals are from pine plywood, copies are from birch and they are more solid 🙂. Current setup: AB International 900 amp for lows (2x590W per side into 4ohm), AB International 200 for highs, and good old BSS FDS 310 xover with horn compensation active. Some more photos. Last one is original high frequency section with ferrite drivers, not sure if 288, they got lost, I do not want to think about what happened. They also used some JBL 2405 above it. I think I will make a thread about these and their story.
