RE: plenty of three and four inch VCs in "ancient" designs, too!

That's the mighty Altec 515, dating back to the 1940s and still in production at GPA. 3" edgewound voice coil. Used in large format VOTs and as the woofer in the 604 Duplexe. Best midrange and vocal reproduction of any woofer I've heard.

I'm listening to Linda Ronstadt's Christmas album over 604Es as I type this.
