In between creating my criminal defense, I noticed a couple ads on CL that jumped out. This one looks like it might be the real deal :thmbsp:

These were designed by Henry A. Altec the original owner of Altec when they were in Lansing, MI and where they started. The horns are about 36" wide and 18" tall at the opening and use the best driver ever created in the 616 model. They have the ultra rare 24" woofers, model 2410. Theses are using the exotic network electronics later created to match these by Paul Stubble in 1969, it's a daisy chain style design. These speakers will not work with digital amps and require a class G tube amp to power them. There is absolutely no difference between a live performance or a recording when using these. The Rolling Stones, Beattles, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, all used these in their recording studios and it's truly what made them stand out and become famous. This pair offered are the same ones used by Steely Dan when he recorded all of his albums. No Klipsch, no JBL's, no exotic speakers ever can compare to these Altec Hartsfields by Henry Altec. Paul Stubble took over Altec in 1965 and bought Klipsch and JBL to form Altec Lansing. Under his ownership James Lansing learned speakers and was allowed to lead the JBL division starting in 1983. That's how important Henry Altec and Paul Stubble are to the audio field. When Paul Klipsch died in 1955 it was all left up to Henry Altec to carry the torch and Paul Stubble to continue until recently. They own all the patents to the modern speaker of which every single company today still pays a license fee to use the design. Fortunately Paul held the best for himself and that's why no other company manufacture speakers today can equal the pur clarity of Altec speakers. When you buy the Altec Hartsfield you are buying the best, from Frank Sinatra to Green Day it is the state of the art studio speaker of choice. Sorry, the price is firm and I will not accept any lower offers.
