tromprof Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Any experience/opinions on Altec Lansing stuff? I might have the chance to buy a pair of 9846-8A studio monitors (pro version of the Barcelona). I have only heard a pair of VOTT once but not in ideal circumstances. They seem from what I have read elsewhere to be somewhat similar to Cornwalls, but of course on the Altec forums much, much better. They are a couple of hours from my house and would like some feedback before taking the trip. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 They seem from what I have read elsewhere to be somewhat similar to Cornwalls, but of course on the Altec forums much, much better You mean the nice folks on the Altec forum are biased? [] I've never heard them so I can't make an intelligent comment. (though I can bash on them for being biased!)

tromprof Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 The seller now wants $1500 for them! I think I will look for a nice pair of Cornwalls instead [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason str Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 In general the Altecs will have better mid range and the Cornwall will produce more bass. Both have their own qualities, if you get a chance to hear them both your choice will be easy, pick the ones that sound best to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanO55 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Nothing wrong with owning both. Both have outstanding qualities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
