I really feel sorry for this guy...

He started at $250 a while ago, and has reduced the "firm" price to $100. Who wants a pair of redone AAL speakers? Apparently nobody.

Looks like he did a really good job..

 

[Galaxie65]

Yeah, that's a really nice little set. If I was closer I'd almost be tempted

I'd never heard of AAL.....now today I've come across two pairs for sale.
This set is $1 cheaper....

I always thought of them as a very 80s blow your hair back speakers lol. A buddy had some and loved them to death, although as far as quality and performance in terms I'd say they might not cut it

Although still to take the time and make them look nice is a challenge all in it's self. I personally restored a set of old Aztec bookshelf speakers and I love them. Are they amazing quality? Nah, I'd say they are ok and decent for what they are, but again nothing to write home about. However I did like the fact that they have some real nice weight to them

And for good reason. Cheap particle board boxes with nondescript drivers aren't really a good candidate for veneering. My first speaker upgrade (in 1980) was a pair similar to those and the best thing I can say about them is they're sensitive enough to get loud on a handful of watts.

I bet if he drops his price to $75 or so someone will bite on it.

Right in my backyard.

Wonder how they'd compare to my McIntosh XR16s ??

I have a pair of 3-way AAL and a pair of 2-way AAL that I'd part with for less than half that if I ever got around to putting them on CL.

hmmmm, I wonder if they have anything to do with MTX's "AAL" series of home audio speakers they made back in the 80's-90's.

A shootout maybe? Call it "Good VS Eh, Not As Good".

 

[68custom]

so, I wonder if these are digital ready?

Used to be TOTL furniture store speakers. He may could get $40 for them. Plus those are not the TOTL AALs.

 

[catfish]

Yep those are furniture store jobs...fell prey to them while in the service. The pair I had came with 2 15"s and a Horn. Smelled electrical smoke in my barraks room, it was comming from the horns, so being the kid I was, I turned it up more and watched 'em fry ! Took them back and they refused to warrenty them, even though they were rated at 500rms.
