Default Altec Lansing A7 Voice of the Theater speakers Info ????

Hi Mike, we're almost neighbors. I live near Patricksburg IN, which is west
of Spencer. My wife works at Head Start in Bloomington.
I got some advice on this other 'topic' today, but maybe you can give me an
idea too. I have an old pair of Electro Voice Regency speaker cabinets I'm
trying to sell. A 1959 and a 1961 per EV. $100. No drivers, crossovers,
horns, just the cabinets. I have lots of people interested from internet
contacts, but nobody wants to pay the exhorbitant shipping charges of 2 - 69
lb cabinets. Anybody in your neck of the woods that you of interested in
this kinda stuff? Thanks for any info at all.
You're right about the hearing damage from those A-7's. Absolutely
incredibly efficient. Even more amazing is that the bass from those
Regency speakers was louder than the A-7's, but of course the mid/highs from
the A-7's buried the old Regency's. Maybe I'm assuming too much. Do you
know what the EV Regency's are? They were cab's designed by Paul Klipsch
for EV. They had a front firing 15" with a horn loaded port. You set the
cab's in a corner for optimum bass, the walls form the last 'fold' of the
horn. You gotta have corners to use them, and I won't soon, thus they
depart.

See www.lansingheritage.org for some information.

My own experience with a pair of Altec 605A's (similar woofer, small
coaxial tweeter) was that my greatest danger was from permanent deafness
should I drive the speakers to high levels in a small room.

These turn up on eBay all the time, but they don't go cheaply.
