I wish they were selling that high. I got about $1500 for one I sold, and it was pristine.

Ah. Matched pair. That changes things a bit.

That said, there is a better vintage full-range driver out there that seems to fly under the radar. I'll tell what it is once I have a second one in hand.

and i just realized that you (gogofast) are one post away from 5k! thanks for all the input and help that you have given!

As I noted, a matched pair changes things a bit, as do the WE labels. The single that I sold was an early Altec, which was actually produced for Altec by WE before the tooling was transferred.

Ah, that makes sense :yes:
