    Sweet find. I'll take 8? ;-)

    We assume a nice GPA duplex inside, due to the 16" frame spec?

    Nice...... those are the DTS version of my Sound Contractor Series 9864-8A.

    If I had the money, I'd be looking into shipping options.

    The "Engine". 9864

    Even though they're pre GPA, i think Bill had much to do with the engine. Somebody correct me if i'm wrong.

    Thanks Bowtie! that is a very interesting configuration? Compared to a 604 how would these sound? and is there a problem with time alignment?

    No expert or personal experience here, but i think correct time alignment(as close as physically possible) was one of the prime design goals in the engine.

    I'm guessing their sound is very coherent, with huge dynamic ability. I'm sure that clean, very high SPL's is where they excel, and they probably really need a truck load of LF elements to round out the bottom for most music.

    As I understand Bill did most of the design work when he was at Altec.
