    Norman Labs Model 14 bookshelf speakers and Model 15 subwoofer

    I was fortunate enough to find a consecutive serial number pair of Norman Laboratories Model 14's (with NL stands) and a paired Model 15 sub-woofer at an estate sale recently. While the 14's need re-foaming, the finishes on all the speakers and stands are great considering the 45 - 50 years of...

    Altec Model 14

    The back story: Since I was a kid I can remember thinking that Altec was the be all-end all in speakers. My Dad had a pair of Model 7 series 1’s paired with a Sansui 9090db. My grandparents had a pair of Model 9’s paired with a Yamaha CR-1020. I remember as a kid thinking both setups sounded...

    Hi everyone, I don't see much reference online about Altec Studio Monitors - 9842-8A/F and all I know in GPA website, it is a professional version of Model 14 and it has a different or utilitarian cabinet. Although, I still prefer the cabinet of Model 14. May I know what is the difference...

    running out of space in the living room, but i'm pretty excited. they're my first pair of horns and it sure is a different sound, been really enjoying them this morning. woofers were reconed at GPA and the HF drivers were sent there and given the seal of approval by Bill.

    Model 14s first day

    Picked up a mint pair of Altec Model 14s off craigslist for a fair price. Has skanky (but brand new) looking replacement pyramid woofers (PW1248USX-8ohm), but he has kept the originals in the boxes for the pyramids and stored in an indoor closet facing up, so just need new foam surrounds...

    Toshiba SA-7150 vs. Luxman R-117

    I'm thinking about getting a vintage'ish new stereo for my main rig. These two have caught my eye but I have no experience with either. How well are they built, sound, prone to issues, got parts available and are there technicians who know how to fix them, etc? However I have owned a Toshiba...

    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...
