Western Electric 753c Monitor vs. Iconic or Altec 604(x) Monitor

[Naimare]

:waver: Baja,

Do you have more pictures and information on your beautiful 612 cabinets?

Are the made out of birch ply or any other wood? What did you use for stuffing? What about finish - varinshed or painted? Did you build them yourself or did you commission a professional wood maker?

Regards/Naimare

[QUOTE=Steve Schell;1822604I paid just over $700 on ebay for it with its torn cone, and I heard back later through three sources that the seller was bragging about having found a sucker to give him $700 for a kicked in woofer!

A few prices I've seen: $3,500 for a pair of 801B h.f. drivers; $1,000 or more for a tar filled H-808; $1,500 or so for an 815 woofer. I've never paid more than about $3k for an Iconic, though I hear tales that they can bring $25k to $75k per pair overseas these days. Whenever a Lansing piece appears in a used equipment ad in Stereo Sound magazine (Japan), the price is always listed as "ask."[/QUOTE]


There was just 2 single H808's just listed in the same week a little awhile back one sold for $1950 and the other was like $1500 something. So the pair $3500 but they had a 802 driver on them both.I would value them at over $4K your 1508's

That's pretty funny about the gent thinking he found a sucker.We know who's the real lolipop huh Steve. :2thumbsup:

The prices over in Japan are usually 4-5 times what we would pay here in the states easily.A real nice set of A-5's canfetch $7-8K.
