hi all,
my first time here, what brought me here ? went out this morning for some coffee.... poked around a local thrift store , and under a bunch of junk, saw some big ol speakers.., looked a little closer & saw down in the right hand corner of the grill an altec emblem. for the past several years ive been enjoying the hobby of vintage audio, im now starting to learn about speakers, just recently aquired a pair of frazier mark v's, (love em), and in my read's , altec's allways been a respected name. the price tag on em was 99.00 dollars.... took em home.
the model # sheets on the back 's gone, took the back off and found 806 a on the horn, and on the magnet on the 15" has a #416-z, looked on ebay and saw a couple different pairs the same ,valencia's ? the condition , very good ,i think it's my lucky day.
gettin ready to hook them up to a scott 222c, i'll report back with results...anybody have a pair of these & what's your take
