Altec 211 cabinet for sale

[N9zmn]

Hi. This is my first post, so please forgive me if it is on the wrong message board. I have an Altec 211 cabinet for sale in Chicago. Can anyone use it??? Hoping to get $100 for it instead of chopping it up and burning it, which would break my heart. Came from auditorium installation. Very good shape - No drivers. Please email [email protected] if interested. Sincerely, Andy

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yeah, because you need ANOTHER pair of big horns :-)

I was this >< close to buying this cabinet last friday, but decided against it at the last minute. It's huge and my living room is small. Yet, here I am..... tempted all over again :-)

You're right. It's definitely a "want" rather than a "need"....... You just don't see them as often as a 210.

Interesting that they would make 2 variations of the same cabinet.

Instead of having 2 couldn't you just cut it in half and get 2 pieces of plywood and some paint???

I thought I saw this done in a old SP article that was saved to someones pic gallery, not sure of who's though....

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I don't believe that's ever gotten good reviews here. I've heard of stacking horns to reach lower frequencies (or improving response down low), so I would think cutting a horn in half would do the opposite.

My idea was to run one woofer on the left channel, and the other one on the right. I figured it was cheap and reversible.

I would run a plate amp.

Any progress selling the cabinet Andy?
