<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yup, Saw that. Too bad the guy doesn't have better pictures.

I'm still waiting for a second 9864.

They use "The Engine", basically a coaxial motor thats essentially a high power 515 and 299 that share a common motor/magnet structure.

Nice cutaway veiw in the second link.

A very odd Altec duck for sure!
Anyone ever hear these? Looks like sound reinforcement stuff.

Bill Hanuschak designed these - they work incredibly well!

I installed quite a few - wonderful SR system!

Basically a BIG 604...

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I have a single 9864, which uses a 60 degree horn instead of a 90. I like it, but I don't have much in the way of Altec, to compare it to.

Sound reinforcement stuff? Well yeah! Almost all of the things we cherish here are :-)

Well, they're back... Again! I emailed the seller this time around, advising he use better lighting, and to remove the grilles so people can see what they are. Right now, it looks like he's selling $700 black boxes!
