There is one for sale locally.
I don't need it, but of course I'm interested.
Has anyone here listened to these?

Hi Ron,
My pair has been flown in a buddy's garage for a few years simply for lack of room at home, but I have plenty of reason to hang out there when I can. I prefer them to the 19s I've heard, and they'll play louder too.
They're no beauty queens though, and better boxes would be the only tweak I'd attempt. Mine are a bit buzzy, having lived their former life in an ice rink. (Added; guess I should qualify that... it's hard to tell if it's the boxes or my buddy's sh## falling off his garage walls...). They do raise some funny reactions from his neighbor's livestock...
Waiting for a mate would be the problem...
The one I've found is really nice.
Obvious good components. I like the CD horns.
Agree with finding a mate, when one does, it will probably be 2!
It's bass reflex, not that much diff from a 19 or Valencia.
I might see if I can get it for a song....and wait.
I don't have quite enough altecs yet......
The guy who dies with the most toys wins.......
Interesting crossover, 2k?
Ron
Altec made a processor with specific modules for this series of speaker system, heard a pair(9815's i think) with the processor a couple years back. It was really good.................
630Hz with a 909/loading cap. I doubt if the 3154 would do justice to 1200Hz, much less 2k, the other end is where it shines. ;)Quote:
