2017年9月13日 · The Japanese go with with a thin resonant wood box like the original Altec cab to take some of the edge off. My Korean partner has built dozens of 755A cab variants. He calls the 755A a "ten cylinder car." Fast and agile as hell but not always easy to keep it on the road.

2018年12月20日 · I have been in conversation with someone regarding 755c. Was told the 755A sells for crazy money because its got the WE imprint behind its construction and therefore more expensive. Its also Alnico so the sound would be different. But the issue i have which is the better driver Sonically? The...

2019年10月31日 · I thought about running subs with the 755a’s even though the purists would call it sacrilege. You may want to eventually try making the Dr. Bae/Silbatone boxes as well as they sounded great to me. I eventually got a pair of Western Electric 754a and these have enough bass for me, though I still may get some subs to augment for bass on certain ...

2017年9月12日 · The 755A is a last generation Western Electric design, not an Altec design. This was offered as a general application high quality speaker. Requiring a tuned bass reflex cab gets complicated if you want to put them in the walls of an aeroplane, ceiling of Macys. etc.

2008年2月9日 · Perfect condition Altec 755a's can fetch up to $ 1,000 or more on ebay, while Western Electric 755a's can go for over $ 2,000 each. The transitional "KS" branded versions are similar to the Altec models while sellers try to pawn them off as W …

2004年4月27日 · We should have some fun test driving these as my buddy has a killer system with several amp (10y, 26, 45, 50, 2A3, 300B and 211 SET's) and speaker combinations to try (Altec 604E, Lowther PM2A in Medallions).

2023年2月4日 · His comment about the Silbatone 755A box: "The cabinets were designed by genius Silbatone engineer Dr. Stefano Bae as a group project for the Silbatone-sponsored DIY/Western Electric forum in South Korea. 100 pairs were quickly sold out, immediately driving up the world price for 755As. The original uses Silbatone's custom silver litz wire ...

2017年9月12日 · Also there were a lot of Waldom or other aftermarket C/E cones around, cross listed with 755A. Original A cone kits are pretty hard to come by 60 years after it was discontinued. It would be a great stroke of luck to find real Altec A cones. Ask questions.

2020年1月5日 · The problem was very few people were willing to pay the difference between a 409 and a 755 so Altec discontinues the speaker by the middle 70's as I remember. Altec at one time made a column speaker with 755 speakers and its worked as well as Bozaks much heavier columns with. 8 inch B-800 and 200y tweeters.

2017年9月12日 · One thing that should be noted is that the metal Altec 32 takes the WE 32 which was designed for the WE drivers which had a smaller throat aperture than an Altec 1" and very crudely drilled it out to 1". See pic of KS 12025 throat measurement. I …
