RE: GPA replacement for Diaphragm Altec 288

I had an original diaphragm altecs and than I repaired some other with GPA diaphragms. The original one do appear to sound a little softer but since the 288 drivers were not the same and could have different magnet strenghts it's not really meaningfull. I installed 4 GPA 288c dias and they all perform great, clean and extended. Now , Bill is busy running a schop and it takes some patience to order. Best is to call and than follow with inquire email.I don't have experience with aftermarket dias which tend to be 1/2 price of GPA.I bought GPA mainly because it somewhat preserves the value of a driver (easily leveling the difference in between aftermarket and GPA price)and since I'm a moron who collects drivers in a case some day
I will be able to do meaningful comparison :),the value of drivers is of some importance to me. Ah , I think they don't closely match diaphragms if you won't inquire. It is a good outfit and we're lucky it's still there. It comes from before internet era so doing business requires a little more patience than other internet purchases.
