    Those look really clean. So are the A700 cabs really just 816 cabs with a horn enclosure added to the side (top)?

    I would expect the build to be substantial, excellent component load, 515G 909HF MR-994. Possibly N1285's, they were spec'd for bi-amp at 630hz 24db slope LR.

    No, the fronts are angled rearward.

    I'd opine that more importantly the cabinets are trapezoid shaped so that they can be properly splayed in the horizontal plane.

    2nd important point i would opine, Altec made a proper subwoofer system for these that will likely acoustically track them up to their maximum output given enough clean power.

    Not if I could get there quicker! All things considered, a superior performing Magnificat, just not as pretty/elegant.

    Just listened to a youtube video of these, sure it came through my computer, but boy do they sound clean. I think with a sub they would blow My 19s away....

    Yeah, if you've never auditioned a big horn system in a typical HIFI app, especially if it's coupled to a true sub woofer system, then it's hard to imagine the difference other than by 'is it live or Memorex' in a front row center seating scenario.
