How big and heavy are they? Where in the Altec line do they fit?

Almost the exact same dimensions as large Advents, but slightly heavier it seems, no doubt the massive magnet and phase inverter contribute to the extra poundage!

Anyone notice that in the official Altec literature they turned the weight numbers upside-down? 52 pounds and 114kg.

Sadly, this isn't all that uncommon among the pages of Altec literature.

Upside down? How? I don't follow what you mean, by numbers upside down?:scratch2:

 

[bowtie427ss]

1Kg = 2.2lbs

 

[gadget73]

Those things are 114 lbs each? wow.

 

[bowtie427ss]

LOL................... i believe 52 lbs is the correct figure.

 

[Saint Johnny]

So they are actually 52Kg, not lbs.? Which equals 114lbs?
They can not be that heavy, can they?

EDIT: I just saw bowtie's post above!

 

[Klownschool]

52 is correct.

Check again. No it's not. It ended without a bid? Odd?

 

[mswer]

Huh, you're right. Maybe the seller ended it prematurely after realizing that the speakers are work significantly more?

 

[hammr7]

Maybe, but the last pair on eBay went for all of $102, and they seemed in decent shape.
