"I have a pair of Heathkit as-21 legato cabinets housing 806a altec horns and (4) 414a woofers. Not sure what the crossovers are, sorry.
The cabinets are beat up, but the drivers are mint inside and everything works beautifully.
Really really nice. Thanks!"

The cabs are definitely a bit rough, but refinishable. Pricing seems fair considering what the drivers are worth.

For reference when the CL ad disappears....

This is at least the 2nd CL listing for them, last listing expired.

Too far for me, but certainly a nice looking cabinet design!

I'd be tempted if they were ~30% smaller, physically it's just a lot of speaker...

I was tempted to make the drive south for these, until I measured the areas on each side of couch. I like my couch.

 

[RossW]

Yeah, that's what killed it for me, I measured the wall I wanted to put them against and realized they'd be right next to each other!

Plus my wife would shoot me...

What is that second turntable in photo 3?

 

[RossW]

The one under the plastic cover? Hard to say. The other one looks like a Dual (it's more visible in the second picture).
