Title: Altec 418b
Post by: Toxophilite on June 28, 2015, 11:48:31 pm

Anybody have any experience with an Altec 418b 15" speaker
I just picked up one for $20 but it's likely a recone ..looks like a home job too  It has a slightly lopsided paper dust cover. i figured the basket was worth a least $20 so the risk was worth it .
Happily it sounds really good with no rubbbing etc
What with the JBLd130 and this speaker i'm becoming a fan of 15" speakers
