Altec A7s in NY Stock Exchange

[robertbartsch]

These are shown on the stock exchange floor - hanging from the high walls on CNBC TV often. They are painted white.

Anyway, several years ago the exchange upgraded its technology and it has significantly increased the number of trades conducted electronically.

Anyway, some of the old technology apparently works well and this is a testiment to Altec quality.

Not that they are not there, but I do not see any in this particular pic.

I do see some grey (300hz ?) horns x2, and some white (816?) cabs mounted above them.

Nominally in the upper corners of each side (one set just beyond, but at the same height as the lower stripes on the large US flag shown at the right)

The way Altec has carved out a niche for itself is very interesting, it does have the perfect blend of the old and the new technology mixed together. So, it doesn't sound to be a matter of surprise for me about the speakers placed in the NYSE. After all what less would you expect from the likes of Altec that's accepted worldwide.

Old GUY says the HF driver are EV.

I'm not arguing, just curious if i missed a close up shot showing that the drivers are not Altec 906's(Altec branded modified DH1)?
