This is actually one of the unsung heroes in the old Altec line. Classic Altec sound on the cheap. CORRECTION: In the Video, we mentioned the two Altec Santiago models that also use the Biflex driver, but with a different tweeter than the Santana I. That is INCORRECT!!! It is actually the Altec 872A and 872B Madrid models that used the Biflex driver. The difference between the two Madrid models is the 872A mounts the tweeter in front of the Biflex driver via a bridge. The 872B mounts the tweeter above the Biflex driver similar to the Santana I. In addition, there is a Santana II model that uses a conventional 12 inch woofer. That is a totally different animal altogether. This is episode #4 in our channel. If you enjoy this video.

The Chicago Horn Loudspeaker Guys are two retired regular guys who love music, stereos, and audio reproduced by horns! The purpose of our YouTube channel is to share historic and current information of Horn Loudspeaker technology with music lovers of all ages. Our channel features interviews with owners/enthusiasts of Horn Loudspeaker Systems in the Chicagoland area as well as towns and cities from the surrounding States (Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Iowa.). To understand their history, the music priorities and to glean from them knowledge on getting the best possible sound from their systems. We also collect information from online forums and if possible, conduct experiments to validate our recommendations. We share the knowledge we gain with our viewers in an honest, straight forward and no-non sense manner (and hopefully in an entertaining way). Be forewarn, we do tend to go off topic at times. We focus on classic designs from Altec, Electro-Voice, JBL, Klipsch, as well as more contemporary designs from Bruce Edgar, Tom Danley, Classic Audio Speakers, VOLTI Audio, G.I.P., AMPSANDSOUNDS, as well as many others. We also feature unique DIY efforts that we deemed interesting for our viewers. We hope the information we share on our channel is useful to audio hobbyists and encourage new comers to embrace horn loaded loudspeakers, and ultimately include them as an integral part of the sound system(s). Our videos include subtitles in over 35 languages. Our hope is for our viewership to expand beyond North America, to include music lovers across all continents. Ultimately, we hope to keep the flame going for horn loaded loudspeakers. #hornspeakers #hifi #stereo #VintageAudio #StereoGear #jbl #altec #klipsch #audiophile #highendaudio #tubeamplifier #DIYspeakers
