Well, to be fair here, he says he worked 'with the Altec VOTT' not 'at Altec', but the VOTT covers about 15 different models. Different ones were 'the Big Boys'.
"relax man" chill out, don't get so excited, calm down, .. lol
Okay, fair enough.
It is also fair to say that most of what someone has posted has not passed the sniff test, most of the posts have been edited or deleted, and that the behavior plus then disregard of that behavior has critically damaged this forum.
Ignoring the iceberg and the destruction has not helped the decent.

Why buy a Forte IV if they will not support other passive radiator models.
I see your point. I urge people to buy Klipsch, but I might be doing the potential buyer a disservice. A problem similar to yours is when someone wants to buy a K-400. The rule of having to have a serial number to buy any replacement parts will only help the competition and bite Klipsch. Due to how customers have been treated, starting with Bob and continuing with Michael, that company has continues to grow.
Without some changes, the lack of support, gutting the forum, and generally treating people as though everyone else is an idiot will be their legacy.-

Seriously, is this place so empty that I have to quote myself? How did this happen?

I think it would be constructive to get the ups and downs of each speaker based on ones listening experiences. I'm sure they are both very nice in their own ways. It's hard to get constructive feedback due to the fanboy crowds.
I have been reading about people ABing them for a while. So far, it's still another King Kong vs Godzilla show.

Yes, smoked completely with the required government warning labels posted on the cabinets.

These 2 speakers sound great. Figuring thier worth is difficult for me. They have been sitting in place since 93. I just removed them. I'm hoping somone here can help me get a good price for them and maybe even buy them off me and truly appreciate them.

I have no idea if these are designed right or what woofers are in the cabinets. Though not necessary, the bottoms are curved, which is a good sign for the design.
I do have a pair similar to the ones in the ad. Mine have 15" EVs. They aren't made for 'sub' woofer Hz, but they do produce a lot of solid bass. If I were in the area and if I wanted some more bass, and for the price, I would check them out.

Hey Cal, I know where you can get a pair of Quartets. $500! You just have to go to Yankeeville to get them! 🤣
I might know someone who knows someone who heard that someone might be going there and could maybe help bring them halfway there, maybe.

From the ad:
"The infamous Klipsch kg4 – where big sound meets speakers that make other systems question their life choices. This bad boy packs a punch that would make even larger speakers blush with envy. The input panel of the kg4 is like the VIP section of speaker parties, rubbing shoulders with the crossover network like they're the power duo of the audio world. And, there's more! The Klipsch advanced circuitry is like the superhero cape for your tweeter, shielding it from overdriven or clipping amplifiers like a bouncer at a nightclub. Because when it comes to audio, these guys take protecting your speakers seriously – like the bodyguards of the soundwave world. Step aside, potential damage, the kg4 is here to keep the party rocking without any casualties."
Here is the ad-

Interesting thread. I was just asking these same questions. From what I've gathered, they say the 19's
the Altec Model 19 cant be compared to a Lascala -Khorn or even a Cornwall , it was basically a large 70's studio monitor with veneer and grilles
A fine example of the condescending remark telling others what they can or can't do. Your statement about the Altec 19 diminishes your credibility. Do you remember what someone said to you about getting more bees with honey in the LaScala resonance thread?

Wishing you a quick sale - these are getting hard to find now days.
Thanks and you're right. I wish that I had more time to listen to these. I feel guilty having them here knowing that someone should be enjoying them.

What item in trade would you be interested in?
I don't know. What I don't need is more stereo stuff, motorcycles, cold weather, or cats. Although I don't need anything, I would consider a trade/partial trade for something with a name such as Kimber, Dan Wesson, Colt, or something along those lines.

Although I have never ABed them, I have read a lot about the Altec 19 vs Klipsch's offerings. The earlier Cornwall didn't have a large enough horn to compete with the 19, BUT I'd like to hear the new Cornwall vs the 19. The LaScala didn't dig as deep as the 19, but still, some liked the LaScala better.
The real battle was when the Khorn vs the 19 were pitted against one another. Both were top-shelf offerings from each company for domestic use. A lot of good reading out there with points for each side. IIRC, the Khorn digs deeper and has great sound. The 19 are not so placement-sensitive and come ready to rumble. At the end of it all, when the Khorn is placed properly in the corners of a large room, they smoke the Altec 19.
The speakers I always wanted to pit against my Khorns are the Electro Voice Sentry III.-
