    Need help identifying an Altec speakers

    Hello All,
    I found this site as a result of a google search. "Help identifying an Altec speakers"

    My church has 4 speakers hanging from the ceiling.
    We're in the process of bidding out the replacement of the entire sound system.

    One of the contractors stated the speakers we had could be sold to collectors or even back to the maker.

    I believe they're Altec.
    Anyone recognize them? What model

    Thanks
    Steve

    Not Altec, or in any way related.

    Whatever they are, I hope they aren't replacing them with Bose....

    No way, shape, or form even close to being Altecs.

    Horn looks like an 80's EV hr90. Those are not a major manufacturer- possibly locally built. I was running a large retail operation at that point and am familiar with most of the mainstream gear.
    Sorry to take the stars out of your eyes, but the guy who told you that had no clue. Those are not at all collectible. Top dollar is likely around 150 or so a box.

    With a couple bucket-o-subs, those would make a nice surround setup (with a piezo tweeter on each one of course.)
