chops Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 They look like overly huge Cornwalls. I think you should buy them! [H] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

www.records Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 I wish I had the money for these. They are only about 70 miles from me. I think they would look pretty nice with my Altec oak Model 17's stacked on top.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won an ebay auction a few years ago for a pair of cornwall decorators and it turned out the guy lived near me in the Berkeley flats. I went to pick them up and turns out that this guy had them on top of the magnificents and was selling them because he bought a set of belles to replace them. He was driving them with an old mega power concept reciever. It was so wierd because the room was like the size of a small bedroom! josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Altec Lansing,heard the VOT I was very much impressed by the life like sound and dynamics. These look like home versions of the original VOT.All in the main cabinet and no tweeter/horn placed on top. Hmmm a good buy for any collector of classic speakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Blacksmith Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Those are WAY cool! I wonder if he got them from someone in the family passing on. It seems like that is how many of these gems get back into circulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanbrain Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 The second link doesn't work. Is it just me? Anyway, yeah those are -huge- speaker cabinets. I'd be scared to sit down in front of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
