Re: Hard choice ALTEC 290 or ALTEC 288

Hi:

290s provide an efficient smooth MR sound from 300Hz to about 7K. You will need a tweeter like a JBL 2405 above this for HIFI full range sound. You likely will find this combo preferable to a 288 by itself.

288s use an Aluminum diaphragm which will not fit a 290 and will also give a nice MR sound with higher freq output depending on the model. The G series or later with Tangerine plug will likely not need a supertweet where earlier models may depending on your HF hearing ability/tastes.

Both provide superior MR sound in your 311 horns.
