    I'll bet with a lot of EQ, they would sound like 4 or 6 Bose 901's (2 or 3 pairs)

    I cut my altec teeth with altec 1217's, which are the same thing but with a t-50 university horn on top. and I got kicked out of many rentals because of them. the original line array.. still have them, not much in the way of bass, but very vocal. and until ya here them, ya never knew what an 8 inch speaker can do. also have a set of 840's which these are

    "custom ordered"? If you don't know the truth jus make something up. Regular line item.

    As the sheet says, 739A has 755C. 740A has 403A. Same wooden box.Make the box a little bigger and cover it in vinyl and you have a 1207-
