Vintage Knight (Altec/University) Model KN1200 12" Coaxials w/ Horn tweeters / 16ohms / Original cabinets w/ additional Horn tweeter/mid-range added early to mid 1960's / Made in USA."
So Knight was part of Altec, or this post is stretching it a bit?

They look like Utahs, seller has pics in his CL listing, and is asking 180 there.
Also has them listed on tazlist for 200.
Not all vegetables make good leaders.
LTV was the company that bought both Altec & University Sound.
Knight was Allied Radio's house brand, so no never part of Altec. Allied was acquired by Radio Shack, later by a UK company Allied Radio is now a Pro electronics distributor.

Curiously it's site says it was originally radio parts distribution arm of Columbia Radio Corporation.
Have seen Jensen Utah, University and EV all branded Knight.

Your neighbors called. They like your music.
Thanks all for the discussion.
Yeah, that was the meat of it. i.e. LTV never bought Knight. Good clarification.
Pretty baskets/magnet covers on them!
