Altec's I can't afford near Detroit

Register to hide this ad
Yeah, maybe a tad pricey. 8 ohm components and system, so maybe not as desirable as the 846A Valencia in those terms. For a few hundred less they'd be "safe" in the sense that you could probably always break at least even with them. In the current economic climate i'd expect to see a price adjustment before they move.

There's something about the fit and finish of the Altec for Heath components that makes them a little more pleasing cosmetically, and also the cabinets are of a bit higher quality than similar Altecs.

Just my .02.............................
 
Is it me or is there a lot of Altecs around lately? maybe its because I picked up a pair myself that the Altec cognition has taken place.....

This vintage 2-way system incorporates an Altec 806 High Frequency Driver coupled to an 811B Sectoral Horn, and an Altec 416A 15" Woofer for fine low frequency production. This 2 cabinet system also includes 800Hz Dividing Networks and fuse protection. This high efficiency system provides powerful sound, plenty enough to fill a large room. Cabinets show their age but can be restored to their original condition. Collectors lust after these speakers. See pictures below. Serious inquires are welcome. Email or phone me at 810-606-0949.

Price is down to $750 but the cabinets are no longer included? :sigh:

Yeah, I didn't get that either....... I did notice he mentioned VOTT. Maybe he figured presenting them in that light would get him a sale, but figured the Heathkit cabinets would be distracting with the new angle??
 
Hi guys. My first post. I bought the components tonight. I didn't take the cabinets. I thought they sounded strangled and they wouldn't fit in my VW. So we took them apart and put the drivers in my car.

He remarked that his price was $900 with the cabs and $750 for the components. I offered him a lesser amount for the components and he agreed.

Looking to build some Onken 360L cabs and maybe swap out the 806's for some GPA 902's. I haven't had a stereo since I sold my Model 19's in 2005. Now I'm a homeowner with the perfect place for some Altec slam. :banana:
 
I was too busy hiding them from the wife to throw a meter on them. I believe the Heathkit labels say 8 Ohms, but I've read they're not always correct.
