 My Altec 414-8C & 807, 950-8a Super tweeters  collecting dust in my attic by the Help of David Yost of Atlanta I've got Onken cabinet plans  Got it crafted by artisan Cabinet maker took 6 weeks to build but well worth waiting may not appeal to many as well as spouses but sound of these truly remarkable dynamism,timbrel accuracy mids, highs and lows frequency's nearer to reality esp human voice both male and female, not sure how far speaker technology has advance ? but in my humble opinion Vintage Altecs are hard to beat, check it out on you tube.
