Can some one please tell me what I am seeing here. I have what I thought was a pair of Magnificent clones. Now I see the identical speaker on Ebay. HELP !

Looks to be Altec drivers in a home made cabinet - that's all. You have exactly the same system and cabinets?

Yes, they are exactly in every way. The grill, cabinet, crossovers, drivers. They are identical. I saw some where there was a Magnificent 1 and a Magnificent II

Small world. Somebody made more than one.

I have seen a few pairs with that style.
I had a pair of the other style that had more curve to the fret grill and the sides were slightly more protruding.
They did change somewhat during the years they were available!

So it is possible these could be original?

Like I said in my last post, there were more than one version of cabinet made.
I have had one version, and a friend of mine in Cincy, Oh has the same as the one you all are talking about. I think that is the older version.

Those cabinets look factory-built to me - especially the fretwork grilles and Altec badges.
