Any imformation on these speakers would be appreciated. Quality?Value?etc. I love the look and sound but the size is quite big for my living room. Thanks.

Heathkit AS-21s, probably from the early 1960s, I use a pair made in 1961. They're in my frontroom and driven by a little Jolida tube integrated.

They're a furniture version of the Altec 9844 monitor, quality is first rate and IMO very few speakers sound better. Those 414 woofers are quite magical in the vocal range. Few speakers look better either IMO.

If you need smaller speakers, I have a nice pair to trade. Also other components (see my garage sale ad).
