    It doesn't have the 418, but the main difference I see between the B and H models is that the B voice coil is aluminum wound on paper and the H is copper wound on Kapton. The H is also power rated higher.

    FWIW I'm a fan of Altec 417 12" speakers. I have about a dozen, several different suffixes, and at least one variation on frame style. Heck I wasn't even aware of the 418 until you mentioned it. 15 inch, I expect they're up sized versions of the 417's. And I expect "25" is a typo. That all being said, I don't have much tech info on the Altecs. You might try inquiring at Great Plains Audio. They seem to have the current brain trust on all things Altec.

    Altec 418 Question

    Hello, does anyone know what the difference are between an Altec 418 15" guitar speaker and the Altec 418B and Altec 418-8H. I know that Altec issued a number of updates in this speaker line but I can't find any information on the original 418. Thanks.
