    SS-1020 Stanley Screamer enclosure HELP

    Hi all, I acquired a pair of SS-1020 Stanley Screamer enclosures. For those unfamiliar, they are 4’x4’x2’ 210lbs 2x15 Altec ported subwoofers. They are massive and beautiful and a questionable purchase. The previous owner cut them to fit 18’s which I want to undo. I have a few questions for the...

    University Sound Phoenix Speakers

    My Dad purchased these in 1965. They're University Sound Phoenix Speakers (15" 3 way triaxial?) He always told me they were kind of a knock off of the Altec Lansing Voice of the Theater. Needless to say I can't find any info on these. They work and still sound very nice for a speaker that's...

    Help Identifying Some Vintage(?) Altecs

    Hi, I just had someone drop off the Altecs in the picture, but I'm having a heck of a time trying to find more info on them. You'll notice that someone has replaced the woofers with MTXs (those wouldn't have been stock, would they??). I did do a quick frequency response test and the tweeters...
