Several years ago, I was given an Altec 606 mahogany corner cabinet along with a 604c by a very dear friend who had worked in the recording industry. His name was Bob Eberenz and he worked with the legendary Robert Fine at Fine Recording in New York. Bob has since passed away so this gift has great sentimental value for me. The speaker and cabinet have been in storage for various reasons and I have decided to finally get it on display and start enjoying it.

I've found a dealer who has a matching cabinet/speaker and he's asking $1500 for one in excellent condition. I've asked him to hold it for me and will be picking it up in a few months.

Is this the only corner cabinet designed by Altec and what years were they sold? Also, how rare are these cabinets?

I'm also curious how this will sound compared to a conventional cabinet? I'll be listening primarily to 50's/60's pop, pre-1970's rock, jazz and classical. My amp is a restored Fisher x-100-B.

Many thanks for your advice, I really appreciate the great information on this forum!

Best,
Bob
