Hi Sunnexperts;
At a dinner party a few years back, Buck Munger (Sunn A&R man who put the rock godz & amps together for shows) told me that at a Cream show in LA, all the current buzz was for Altec spkrs. Buck said they put the stage rigs together w/ Altec 418s in place of the JBLs. Cream used them one night and wanted JBL loaded boxes for the next show in San Francisco.
QUESTION:
My first 200s cab had Altec 418s in it...Buck said it was possibly a "returned to the factory" box from that show...they only used them the one night, and being in Portland OR, it may have hit the street as a "special". I still have the drivers. They sound beautiful, but can't go quite as loud.(More than adequate though.) Also. the magnet covers had to be removed to even fit in the box...probably not performed by a hack.
AM I COMMITTING A SACRELIGE to have put the K140s in THAT cab. I could put the Altecs back in and be happy w/ a historic piece...no serial numbers to confirm...Buck is NOT a BS guy!!!
THX
