    Altec Lansing model 886A speakers
    Nothing like a great big pair of speakers to make your day.

    That 4425 is a single unfortunately.

    I don't think you'll be terribly excited about them. In essence they are to the 893 Corona what the Bolero(passive) is to the Madera(infinite baffle). They're a Corona with the addition of a passive vs the Corona's IB enclosure. Components will likely be all CTS made. Handsome well made cabinets with real walnut veneer.

    Not bad speakers, i use Coronas in my paint, finish, stripping booth and they are great company and non fatiguing for that application, actually "sound great" is what visitors say. I'd expect the 886 to have a bit smoother, possibly more sensitive bass response.

    I'll wager they're not gonna replace any of your current daily drivers though.

    Thanks for the comments, I will let you guys know if I buy them. CTS huh? I thought that woofer looked familiar when I did the google image thing.
