What do you guys think of these?

Since we ARE the Ebay Altec Police, I'm sure you have noted them.

calling bs about the Sinatra and this quote "I wanted them for my home recording studio so I sent them out to Great Plains Audio to re-cone the speakers and replace the diaphragms on the horns.". If they were so great , why is he selling these, especially if all the "greats" used these in recording? =/ If this staement is true , these should be in a museum... just my 2 cents.....

But they do look good... & I would get them @ $600 if I could get them that low...

I wasn't looking at the claimed heritage. Just looking at the components. These crossovers go for big bucks.
Shipping quotes are abomidable.....$900 from NY to Oregon with cabs, $200 with just the drivers.
I've had cylinder heads shipped for less, they weigh more.

I think they are a relist, didn't sell at $700.

Geez, I've been watching those, he's about 5 mi from me... a divorce costs more than $600 though...

I hear ya...the problem in my case is I would have to pay for BOTH the speakers and the divorce....can only afford one, and the divorce seems pointless without the speakers....

Ouch!

I really want a pair of Westlake subwoofers, but i know that once added to the price, shipping will be a dealbreaker. CA to NY might be the one rate worse than NY to OR.
