Horn speakers for vintage sound

budget horn speakers

It's hard to do big and budget at the same time. How about used LaScalas or VOT. They both offer that vintage horn sound. 

Used JBL or Altec but I’m sure you’ve thought about those 

Message me i have  friend who owns a vintage audio store and he has a few options like JBL, Altecs etc that may be of interest. i'll pass his contact information on to you. 

Altec A5 is what you need. 3 way Hiraga crossovers with a super tweeter. Altec 1505, 288 mid drivers and 1505 horns.  I use 7.5 watts tube power and you can’t be in the same room at 50% volume. I augment with horn loaded subs. You could probably be all in for 5K if you shop around.   Super tweeters are Faital pro HF10AK on custom horns and Lpads since they are 110db efficient. It’s extremely live sounding.  Pete Riggle builds Hiraga inspired crossovers for a 3 way system that are hard to beat. If your ever near Dallas, stop by.  It’s worth hearing. 

I have a pair of JBL 590 for Saale in okay condition for cheap.  But no shipping.
