Hello All,
New to Altec speakers. I have heard a great deal about them and, as a matter of fact, never had the thought of buying any until today because they seemed quite expensive. I was at a garage sale in my neighborhood and saw a pair of old speakers. I noticed the Altec logo on the bottom. The cabinets need restaining, but over all condition was good. I asked the seller how much for the speakers and he said $10 for the pair. The tweeters and woofers are in great condition along with the cloth grill. One emblem is missing. These are 893B Coronas.
Was this a good deal? I haven't hooked them up to my system yet.
Do you think these will sound better than the Cerwin Vega DX5s I am currently running?
