Does anybody know anything about this 12 inch loudspeaker? It is in my
guitar amplifier. What is it worth, and is it any good? 8 ohms Thanks |

Sort of the 12" baby brother to the 421A (15"), an excellent PA/guitar speaker. Very efficient and durable. Competitor to the EV and JBL offerings of the era. I think these have a 3" VC.

What is it worth, and is it any good? 8 ohms People claim the 917 is an "updated version of the Altec 417," but it isn't. Fs on the 917 is a lot higher and it wants to see a smaller box volume. This is probably a beneficial thing for a guitar amp, and it is entirely possible the 917 was built as a reaction to people using the 417 in guitar cabinets. T-S parameters can be found at: http://alteclansingunofficial.nlenet...ele-Small.html Is it any good? I dunno... if you like what it sounds like, it's good. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

I think it sounds great, I was just wondering what the consensus was among people who knew a bit about speakers (my knowledge is pretty limited, and i couldn't find much info online) thanks everyone |
