    Valencia 846U - what does the U signify?

    I just found a mint pair of 846U Valencia. When I try to research them, I keep seeing 846 A and B. What is the difference between the A, B and U? Are the U worth less? thank you.

    Altec Dilemma.

    Would you buy a pair of 9849-8A monitors in a bit roughed utilitarian gray for $X or a relatively pristine pair of Valencia's (later ported model) for almost $2X i.e. almost twice the price???
