I am wondering how people set up and adjust supertweeters to avoid interference between them and main tweeters.

I'm kinda surprised Altec used such a large horn for a residential speaker system. They always seemed a little harsh- tinny. Back in the 70s, everyone had a garage band. We built our own A-7s bc we couldn't afford them. Wd got the dimensions from those speakers at a local music store. I remember heating up the plywood to bend for the bass horn. We bi- amped the systems with the electronic crossover of the day, and drove them with Crown amps. This stuff was bullet proof when we were done! Huge cabinets, really heavy, moving from gig to gig, what a hassle! It was fun times back then!
Your reconstruction is really cool. Love those baffles! Never seen that before. On the horns to reduce the ringing, or tinny sound, I recently had to replace diaphragms in a pair of Peavey speakers of similar design, and they use aluminum horns, not sectioned, with a black rubbery material stuck to the outter surfaces. I wonder if car undercoating would work, or bed liner?
Bed liner works great for an exterior finish on professional, stage speakers. Really can take a beating. Love both your channels! Getting ready to fill a new aquarium. Thanks!!

I'm probably going to get the Conrad Johnson
Premier Eleven 11A 1979...and wondering how they will sound and pair with a pair of Tannoy Berkeley's mkll and how that compares to this Altec Valencia speaker...Your thoughts please Sir...

No matter how much money you spend. IT still sounds like music coming out of a box .
