Hello.
I Am Maarten from holland (the netherlands)
I have a couple of altec lansing 3 way speakers.
My question is do somebody know what for model of altec this is?
And are these original altec's?
the drivers are:
HF 299-8A
HF MR902 16HF
LF 3156 16 inch
You can see one picture on my profile.
I hope that you can help me.
Greets Maarten.

Hello.
Can it be that this was a export model?
They are delivered in the 90's in the netherlands by a official altec dealer.
The sound is very good and open, only the bass can be harder.
Mebey an processor?

I don't think so, but that's what they reminded me of...

... crossovers/brackets appear to be DIY, to my eye. Perhaps an altec
cab was "re-used".

The 3156 is a radiator type with overhung voice coil. The 3154 model was used in the Altec A-10 produced to compete with JBL cinema 4000 series.
It's a excellent woofer. But the 515 G Bass horn with an underhung voice coil remains the best woofer for cinematic reproduction.
