Altec Lansing Speakers

Can anyone help me identify the Altec Lansing speakers I picked up at a Salvation Army a while back? Black cabinets, 16 inches tall, great sound, see pictures below:

They come from the later era of AL. How do they sound?

They actually sound better than those massive speakers I have pictured as my member photo, so for a while I was stacking them on top and running four speakers.

Do they qualify as bookshelf speakers, since they are only 16 inches high?

Yes.
