They're close to me, but I don't need them. Wonder how they sound? I love the cabs.

Not mine, no affil.

Also, do any of us really need more stuff?

NEED?:scratch2:

Yes, what is this "need" thing you speak of?

Those don't look at all like Altec baskets. More EV-ish.

University i think Sam, well at first that's what i thought, it looked like the rear cover was very similar to the university C15W, but after finding some more pics it's a solid 1 piece casting, and the horn tweeter of the coaxial doesn't resemble anything i'm familiar with. There's nothing Altec about them at all. I think they may be imports after a bit of searching.

Looks like a fair price for these. A bit too far away for me unafortunately..

Beautiful cabs.
Needed to re-cap them.
Sound great with low power tube.

It would be great to at least hear them.

Yes everything but the green color. Maybe the tweets are EV and the woofers are University.

Speaking of green... you could go catch the Skatalites at Castaways in a few weeks and pick them up! I'm there for the Skatalites, no room for the speaks tho. They look like they need some insulation dampening to me, and could be a nice catch.

Cheers,

Bob

Another possibility is rebadged Jensen Sigma woofers.
