Obviously used for some kind of Band PA or similar as heres another pair in Chi-town.So it would seem that it isn't that uncommon as both have the same drivers/horns too.
Altec 1505 Horns 291-16B Drivers 30166 Throats 421-8H - eBay (item 190544274709 end time Jun-22-11 19:00:30 PDT)
It does look weird having those huge horns on those (relatively) small bass cabs--but who knows, they could sound phenomenal. I wonder if the owner has been bi-amping them? There's no crossover included that I can see (same for the pair in Chicago that Altec Best posted). They're at $71 now with no reserve--could be a real bargain but I have a feeling they'll get a lot of bids.....Quote:

Not a common combo, likely just the dealer in that area...
I'm actually the high bidder, but I doubt I'll win either. I bid mostly just to see how high the top bidder had bid.......... apparently the bids were just place holders. The auction is still early, so it'll be fun to watch.Quote:

Me too. That 291 is same mag as 288G (big) so change out the frams and it's a $2500 set of horns!Quote:

I suspect I'm going to be a loner on this........ I really only wanted the 816 cabinets. I would have played with horns a bit and then put them up for sale...... hopefully making a profit.Quote:
