Altec 890c speakers

This is a sad day. I don't really want to sell but I am not using them and can't see that I will in the near future There is not much that needs to be said about these speakers. They are arguable one of the best sounding "large bookshelf" speakers ever made. They are in very good condition condition except for one missing Altec logo.

Altec 890C BOLERO HI FI SPEAKER SYSTEMS Manuals & User Guides

These use a 10" woof that uses the 9lb magnet structure and 3" voice-coil of the Altec ; VERY serious 10"er. A passive radiator helps the woof and a horn tweet works above hz. Bass is considerably deeper than the Heresies and quite solid and well-damped.

Highs are smooth and extended; very good detail. But the mids, you ask, what about the mids friom that 10" cone? Well the mids are very good; palpable with Altec fullbodied robustness and no strain or cry, not at my levels anyway. Altec knew how to get good midrange from larger cones than this, as any or lover will attest; I imagine that the Altec engineers thought it no big challenge to go to hz with a cone, provided it was built to the standards of their 15s!

Anyay the speakers sound very good and have the Altec "technicolor" sound. I didn't know I could get that sound in such small speakers in the photo attached you can see the Heresies for scale.

I'm pleased. I'm thinking that if one wants to take a cone to hz and THEN go to a horn this would be the best way to do it. Congratulations on the find! I'm sure that you will give them a good home, rather than ending up in a dumpster, or on a garage sale table. Tom: Incredible! That is amazing. I don't believe I've run across any 10s with magnets that large. They certainly look like an excellent find!

I see that you drove UP to Ann Arbor. I assume Ann Arbor, Michigan? I live about 30 minutes east of Ann Arbor in a little town named Allen Park. May I ask what area you are from? Nice Tom. These kinds of things are a steal when you can find them. The L56 10 in. Maybe it is the age or fatigue on the cone, I don't know.

The L46 actually sounds better. PickyHere's a photo of one of those 10s, the model The magnet is Alnico and so more powerful than the size and weight would suggest were we talking ferrite magnets.

That is one robust 10" woofer. I think the strong magnet and 3" voicecoil, thus making a VERY powerful motor, are what allow this cone woof to make such nice midrange.

My Dad moved from Chicago to there in , when I was 3 years old. We went back to Chicago in MarvelYeah, those IKEA bookcases look cool and are nice and cheap but they do suffer from the bends. Tom: What are the odds that you lived in the same town that I do? I know Colwell very well. I grew up on Reeck Road near Wick and now live on Dasher.

Although, I have read that one may soon be in the works for Novi or some other location. Also some folks talked of repair difficulties, but when it works that doesn't matter much. Also my apologies if Imissed it earlier in the thread , what about the bottom of the frequency range? HenryThe early Bolero, B, used the tweeter, a tweet crossed at hz that was used with a couple of diferent horns; a radial and a multi-cell.

This I learned from Todd White at the Altec forum. However my Boleros, C, use a hz tweeter that is described only as "new" in the Altec literature I've found so far.

Nobody at the Altec or Lansing forums knows much about this tweeter. Don McRitchie pointed out that Altec classified it as a unit to be replaced rather than fixed. Looking at the tweeter the diaphragm and phase plug are behind a bug-screen. Then there is a short, conical horn section integral to the driver, just as with a regular 1" Altec compression driver.

Then there is an aluminum horn flare. I considered removing a tweeter to get a look but they are glued in as well as screwed and I don't feel like messing around with that.

I may switch the passive and woofer around in one speaker to mirror image the pair; if so I'll then get a good look at this Mystery Tweeter. The tweets perform well with airy, detailed and subjectively extended highs. There are 3-position switchs for setting tweeter level and I have them on the low setting.

Bass is fairly well extended, somewhat deeper than my Heresies with a more robust and natural tonal balance. And the bass is well-damped and not at all boomy or tubby. Very good bass given the compromises inherant in a small enclosure. TS theory tells us that for a given box size and efficiency a vented speaker can give deeper bass; compared to the Heresey that seems to be the case here. This shows an advantage that Altec, with it's experienced engineering staff and resources to build it's own drivers to it's own particular needs, had over Klipsch at that time.

As bookshelf speakers go these are on a par with Heresies. The Heresies are going in the closet or out on loan. For the time being. Bass reflex will go lower for the same box size, but acoustic suspension designs typically have a bass that's more articulate.

To get both you have go with some crappy Chinese anodized woofers. You can post now and register later. If you have an account, sign in now to post with your account. Note: Your post will require moderator approval before it will be visible.

This catalog is more than a presentation of our full line of speaker systems and all-new stereo components. In addition to technical specifications and individual features, it includes examples and short descriptions of the finer points that go into making Altec products. It includes the following:. Examples of the advanced engineering concepts which have produced such improved designs as the Altec Dynamic Force Woofer and Symbiotik Driver. Descriptions of the modern manufacturing techniques which still include important hand-assembly processes.

These use a 10" woof that uses the 9lb magnet structure and 3" voice-coil of the Altec ; VERY serious 10"er. A passive radiator helps the woof and a horn tweet works above hz.
