Hi all. I'm new to these forums and also to high-end stereo equipment. I recently came across a pair of Altec Model Fifteens, and I decided to really check them out. The person I bought them from said the subwoofers had been reconed, but I'm beginning to think that they might actually have been replaced. I've done alot of searching on the internet with no luck, so I'm hoping someone here can help me out.
Here's a picture showing the back side of the sub:

While they do seem to be well built, and similar to other Altec speakers I've seen online, but I notice that they are not brand stamped or plated. I took some other pictures, here are the links:

Sticker on the back of the subwoofer (http://members.cox.net/adamnalina/altec2.jpg)
Front view (http://members.cox.net/adamnalina/altec4.jpg)
And a couple of the horn, I'm not sure about it either:

Stamp on back (http://members.cox.net/adamnalina/horn1.jpg)
Any help will be greatly appreciated. I suppose this really shouldn't effect my enjoyment of them, but I'd like to know if they're original. It may be moot anyway. My wife thinks they're way to big for our small house and wants them out... :(
Thanks!!
