The Dude Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I would like to hear something like this in a setting like that. Even better in a room designed for them to perform their best. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason str Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 These won't fit in your normal size garage, they are much larger in person. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are quite impressive just as the big Klipsch systems are. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you are mistaken on what they might fetch, but it WILL take the right buyer. I could easily see these going to Japan...

With people's reaction here about the ones for sale and you saying they are worthless, and you saying the A5 is worthless, I am wondering if Rog is right.

Dad, uncles, friends all had different Altec Lansing equipment until they just up and quit. Many have switched to Klipsch since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
