I bought a pair of Altec speakers when these first came available last October. These look like they came out of a movie theater. Mine had 803B woofers, 804A horns with crossover network. Mine were smaller than these. I'm guessing these are A7 or A8 components in a custom box. Current price is $375 and they're pickup only as they're beasts. Thought someone out there might know an audiophile in Pittsburgh interested in a project...

I know a fair number of people in the Pittsburgh audio community, and there are several that are really into Altecs--those will go for far more than the current bid. I think I may have even heard that specific set a couple years ago--if so--they are no "project"--they are plug n play.

These exact speakers were sold on this site back in October for about $700. There were two pair at that time, and a third smaller pair which I purchased (see attached). I got mine for around $400. I don't know why these are for sale again, guessing the purchaser couldn't arrange shipping or never paid-not sure.
