Unfortunately I cannot reply to your question, Roman, as I purchased from herr Von Langa a N.O.S. pair of Altec 416-8B 15" woofers.

BTW: while in Berlin, last May, Frank Schroeder performed an interesting, provoking "blind-test" using '50s and '60 Telefunken's midrange loudspeakers (22 cm diam.), comparing FC vs. PM:
almost everyone in the listening panel better ranked and appreciated the FC's - smoother, more natural, less beamy.

Will read with interest any (informed) opinion concerning field-coils vs. permanent magnets comparisons.
