Which is it? 'know nothing' or 'well aware'? or trolling?

a very special skill set

To whom? Model and era dependent and even then it's apples to oranges for the most part Note I said MOST, NOT all 'ALTEC' covers a LOT of ground Plenty to read about the history of the company and it's products on-line The company that Jim Lansing started? Their peak period systems like the commercial VOTTs? There's no comparing the two, only thing close would be a Klipschorn ALTEC no longer exists except in name only - a handful of former employees were keeping the torch alive for a while offering service, repair and even some new drivers based on the originals (and made in the U.S.A.) but last I heard that was coming to a sad close as well

No cranky hear dude, I explained my comments based on my own pair of verticals and how the deal went down I don't buy base solely on an ad anymore and even with an aural audition - especially a crummy one (again, lesson(s) learned the hard way) Just sharing my experience is all - the eyes can deceive

I don't how in the heck people manage(d) to blow woofers in Cornwalls Tweeters OK, but woofers?

You don't know that Not from that crummy weird ad (and offing them after just 3 months?) Unless you have seen them Have you seen them?

Whole lot of useless rambling in that ad and not a lot of specifics about the actual pair he is selling I would insist on having him remove both backs for inspection if things get that far I had a pair of Walnut verticals (1971), similar deal and only found out after I got 'em home one of them had a replacement woofer Genuine Klipsch (but not a cosmetic/magnet match) and an appropriate substitute but still................... .............you get the point

Are you his attorney? I would prefer to hear DoubleJ's own answer rather than your speculation I doubt, very seriously, that when those badges were still readily available from Hope, that anyone in their right mind was paying $50 to $100 the pair Today of course is another story

Thank you for a clean deal and trust Craig

I owned, and stupidly sold, a pristine 2220B The 2220B is one of the best sounding Simi Valley Marantzs there ever was, including the big boys If your 2220 (I never owned that incarnation) is 1/2 as good it'll better 75% of what's out there today I owned many of the '22xx' series, including the cult faves and sold them all off eventually (long story) That 2220B is the only one I still miss

And your point is?

Thank you for a nice clean deal I'm glad/hope you are happy Best regards Craig

Don't get any point and am unable to find any meaning in the post directly above I can tell with certainty you have very little, if any at all, hands on experience with any of the classic Technics line-up

Claimed and picked up already Thanks to all Craig
