Is the Stonehenge III any good?

[robertbartsch]

There was a Stonie III pair on Fleabay this week. The highest bid was 750 USD but it did not meet the minimum so it went unsold.

Anyway, the cabs on this pair were beat up and they did not have grills.

I can make replacement foam grilles for this model for around $125/pair + shipping.

I assume there is no grille frame?

Just incase you are going to buy a pair of these, be aware that they lack low freq. bass. Those cabinets are less than ideal for the 604-8G woofers. It was designed to look good, not sound great.

Major mistake by Altec.

That bad? I was told that someone had 604Es in a smaller cabinet and the bass is awesome......How about the highs? Heard it could be better....

I think you should have a listen yourself and then make your decision.

Forget about what you hear on public forums you have to go hear for your self. I am assuming you have heard modern high end systems before?

Hi John,

Unfortunately, I would not have the opportunity to audition it. Hence mua coming to this forum for opinions. Yea, I am currently using a pair of Avant Gardes, Audionote and Tom Evans combo .

Looking for a 2nd system.....

All anyone here can do is tell you what a good pair of them would sound like - but if they are aged/badly maintained/blown or modified ... what a risk for that kind of money!
