    Model 205

    I'm just getting back into vintage audio after an absence of about 30 years. Can anyone tell me about Altec Lansing Model 205. I found some for 40 bucks. Looks like they need to be re-foamed, but otherwise pretty good. Are they worth the trouble?

    Altec Lansing Model 15 and Advent Speakers - $50

    Quite the bargain, especially for the Altec Lansing 15. Despite the cover on the woofers, they appear to be stock. No Affiliation https://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/ele/d/manhattan-beach-speakers/6923974780.html

    Altec Phase Plugs - Radial (Tangerine) vs. Circumferential?

    Hey folks - I happen to have a pair of Altec 604-8gs, one of which has the newer radial/"Tangerine" phase plug, and the other has the older circumferential. I DO hear a distinct difference between the two, and despite having swapped diaphragms, crossovers, R/L sides, amps, pre-amps, sources...

    Altec Lansing 912A All-in-one restoration and notes

    Considering there is only one other post on AK about the little brother 911A I figured it'd be a good thing to share my findings on this rare all in one. I never intended to own any all in one, much less this one, but once I saw it in a thrift store I knew just by the looks I had to have it...

    Grain Audio

    New audio company in the United States. Grain Audio which started up in 2013, has anyone heard their speakers? They make all their products using walnut and apparently the company was set up by two former Altec Lansing employees, one of which was a sound engineer at Altec for over 10 years. Any...

    Altec Lansing Model 14

    Found a pair of Altec Lansing Model 14 in perfect shape with original boxes. One-owner pair bought in 1979/80. Woofers have been refoamed and look right. They sound good. Seller wants $1000 firm. I like horn loaded speakers (e.g. Klipshorn). Prior reviews on these look mixed. Any current...

    Altec 606-Inspired Build Using A-7 Components

    Altec Lansing Multimedia Speaker System

    I picked up some Altec Lansing speakers (two smalls and a subwoofer) at a garage sale a few years ago for practically nothing. They were part of a larger lot of audio stuff, odds and ends, almost threw them out. Now they are hooked up to my office computer and they can pretty much make the walls...

    Lone Altec Model 14 WIW?

    Howdy. I have a single Altec Model 14. Top grille is MIA, and I'm guessing it was flown in a church as there are 4 eye bolts mounted in the back of the speaker. Other than that, it looks like it was extremely well cared for, and sounds fantastic. I've been waiting and hoping, but I'm kinda...
