Here'a couple of Altec cabinet auctions that intrigue me.

I wish the A-700's weren't across the country....... I think I'd be buying.

These are much closer, but I don't think 210 cabinets are what I really want/need in my little livingroom, right now.

I saw those A7s, too. And very reasonably priced. Of course, the good deals are always all the way across country from me. I live in central Arkansas, and it's an audio wasteland here - good equipment rarely shows up here.

i hear you.i am in birmingham,al.altec used to be fairly plentiful around these parts before the company went out of business.it has dried up since,due to flippers,negative publicity by former competitors,and believers/hoarders(such as myself,a believer since my first known exposure in 1976).i do not know of any location in this area that has had anything newer than 817/mantaray/multicell configurations,which precludes any trap style systems such as these cabinets or the dts systems.if anybody knows more please share as i would like to know also.by the way,to my ears,those dts systems rule!!!

C.DARRELL FREEMAN, what is a trap style system and dts?

I don't know about a trap style system is, but DTS systems were centered around The Engine in our 9864-8As.

hey all,sorry about the lack of clarity on my part.the trap system reference was to the speaker systems using a trapazodial style of cabinet such as the dts645a-f,dts945a-f,dts642a-f,dts942a-f,etc.the dts reference was to digital technology systems as offered by altec lansing.

Thanks guys, that is pretty cool. Sure isn't much talk or information around about latter Altecs. I hope I find a few more churches converting to the better sound of Bose sometime.

Yeah, the later stuff really gets ignored. Comparatively speaking, they probably aren't as common as the older models because they weren't made that long.

Mine was actually out of city hall, I'm told.

I didn't realize the A700 was a trapezoid until seeing those cabinets on ebay. I'll have to find pictures of the A800, because I don't recall what that is......... I thought it was subs.



I guess I was thinking of the A700XL...... it looks like the A700/800 difference is power handling.

[magnarc]

The A700 has the 1 inch HF 909 and the MR994A with a 515-8G.
The A800 has a 1.4 inch, I'd say the 299 and the MRII594A, probably the HP version of the 515-xG. Can't locate my data sheet on it.
The A700XLF has two 3154 16's.

Though I'm looking at a pic of the similar box with the 515-8GHP replaced by the 904-8A. Which might be quite a sweet three way. It also i probably a custom setup. Not dissimilar to one of the Stanley Screamers.
