It's nice but...Way overpriced. Not an original system...the HF drivers are newer than the LF.

A bargain for a third his price and decent deal for half.

Just give me 4 604G's and $7500 to spend please....

I had to laugh at this part of his description "As details and attached photos indicate; they are both covered in a beautiful golden oak veneer- to make livingroom or interior soundroom application possible for family or spousal acceptance". Any wife who would approve of these speakers in a living room or any other main room of a house should be sainted! For some reason when I look at his first photo of them they remind me of the statues on Easter Island.... I agree they're way overpriced, but they'd make a great stocking stuffer....

Yeah...but they're 288-8G's and those are some nice drivers!
...half the price seems more realistic...but if ya got the bread and you
want a solid in...this'll do!

Even cheezier would be adding crapy wood paneling to the cabs.....or shelf paper!

I'm pretty sure I need a pair of these....shoot, I have most every other Altec speaker that I'll never use.

Thinking of a fire sale some time, you guys will get first shot.

Pretty cool. At first glance I thought he had custom wood multicell horns. Until I saw them from the back.

I was thinkin' max 1/2 price, too. A killer system for a really big room.

I think that faux finnish looks horrible especially applying it over gray ???

I saw that, too. I thought the veneer was nice, until I started looking at it closer. It doesn't look like oak, to me, and looks to be applied poorly. Furthermore some of it is just a poorly applied faux finish...... I believe more than just the HF horn was done that way. It's a con, in my book...... all stuff I'd have to un/re-do.
