Christine and Wolf Von Langa deal in nice mods, restorations and rebuilding from scratch of classic Altec's drivers, adding the sought-after "field-coils" feature instead using permanent magnets... a snobbish, yet highly considered practice in most exclusive audio circles worldwide to reach better frequencies control and overall better performance...

Thanks, Stefano.  Do you feel that the field-coil version of this diver and particularly with plastic cone offer more advanced sound then the default 375/2440? Did you try on this 2440 the contemporary production aftermarket aluminum cones?  BTW, I do not think that there are ANY evidence that field-coil has ANY connection with “better frequencies control”. If would be very interesting if you have the Herr Wolf von Langa’s drivers right next to the original 375/2440 with new cones. It would be fascinating to learn what Wolf was trying to accomplish.
