Does anyone recognize this speaker?
Does anyone recognize this 60-70's speaker?
http://www.glowfoto.com/viewimage.ph...=6228&srv=img2 It looks like a horn loaded Altec of some kind. It was driven by a small tube power amp. |

It was driven by a small tube power amp. Given the film, I'd expect Harry probably made it himself. You mean like Heath? Given the location (San Francisco) and west coast jazz (subject background) I'm thinking Altec or JBL, to be recognizable to the audience. The speaker appears to be a two-way 6" horn and a 12" woofer. In the tube amp there appears what looks like two 6550 power tubes (one each channel). That is something like 27-32 watts of peak power (in current technology) to drive those large speakers. Other views of the system: Speaker on side http://www.glowfoto.com/viewimage.ph...=1574&srv=img2 Audio System http://www.glowfoto.com/viewimage.ph...=2588&srv=img2 Turntable http://www.glowfoto.com/viewimage.ph...=3300&srv=img2 |

Think a mono push pull amp with about 50 watts output, not unlike a single Dyna Mk. III. The speaker seems to be a home made job. -- "Audio as a serious hobby is going down the tubes." - Howard Ferstler, 25/4/2005 |
