The cabinet had water damage on the back at the bottom and was rough all over. The sticker logos on the sides and back were all but gone. When I listed it, I was being contacted buy people all over the world, literally. The guy who bought it came from states away. He will triple his money. BTW, I will not be buying Khorns with the money. I bought 3 motorcycles within the past 10 months and unlike speakers, they eat hay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I haven't been to a theater for several years that I liked the sound system. There is one I want to go to that has four KPT-1802 and is a fully horn loaded theater.

HiFi Heaven Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 WOW! I remember my first week with ALTEC - met Bob Ancha at McCormick Place in Chicago - he showed me racks of Altec-Green amplifiers, fired up the system with some Rock'N'Roll, we walked out to the exhibit showfloor, he pointed up. 48 ALTEC A7's firing down - distributed array - on the ceiling! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
