1959 Stereo Pair, Model 830A Altec Laguna Speakers | eBay

Are they or aren't they worth it??

I think that could be a little steep,but they are so rare and beautiful of a speaker just may get it.Last pair of Laguna's about a year and a half ago sold for $6-8 grand don't remember the actual price now but it did have a hole in the left speakers grill cloth.This pair really looks like it is in Fabulous condition.This is one of the nicest looking speakers Altec ever manufactured IMO.

I think as a collectible, worth it. But as speakers, I could put nice Altecs AND electronics in every room in my house for that much.

Thanks for the info. Sorry I didn't see the component info in the eBay post and the related photos.

I am familiar with the 802/511 driver/horn combination, but what about the woofer? Is the 803 woofer something like a 416 or a predecessor to the 416?
