Maybe more old news, but 821A? 820A, B, yes, and looks like a 'B', so anybody know what I'm missing to warrant a new model #? Did Altec ever advertise 'signature' models other than Rod Stewart's?

Since the photobucket fiasco... I have switched to the still free Flickr picture hosting site. Which works fine here at Hostboard.
The 821A is a real beefy cabinet at 170 Lbs. .With components it comes in at 230 Lbs...
