So i bought the speakers & angel & his buddy Jerome kindly helped (in fact they did all the work) moved the speakers in to my family room.
Striaght off, they sound very lifelike and have crystal clear dynamics.

Unfortunately, my wife has said the cabinets need to go. So I am offering these A7 cabinets (these are in great shape, with no real deterioration of any kind, built like tanks, more thna one onch thinck wod panels) to anyone who wants them, maybe for a future VOTT project or already has a set of altec drivers. They have authentic Altec VOTT stickers on them, and look really cool (to me, not my wife).

I live in Tulsa, of course.

These cabinets were filled partly wth concrete to deaden the midhorn, this makes them very heavy (but dead sounding which is good for the midhorn). THey weigh approx 300 pounds each. If you are interested in this free pickup, please email me. (of course you pay for the moving, but the cabs are free). I can email pics if you like.
I would strongly recommend a personal pickup with at least one other friend. I'll help yo move them too, for free, at least in terms of loading your truck. But at least two other people are needed to move them. Just so you know. Email me if interested!

Oh, my that's funny, Akhilesh! I'm so sorry to laugh at this situation - I'm laughing with you, not at you. But I can just imagine the discussion you and Aprajita had. Remember my telling you I'd keep my spare bedroom ready for you? How close did you come to needing it?

Yeah Wayne! Big mistake getting the cabinets.
The drivers are good, but the cabs are just too heavy for me to move around. And the wife was very very unhapy with their size
. Let's just say I pretty much promised to get rid of the cabs an hour or so after buying them! But i'm keeping the drivers to build my own (much smaller) cabs futhre down the line.

Thanks to Bill W. & Bland (sp?) for coming by and picking up the cabinets so they have a good home. Now I can get to work on building a suitable cabinet for the altec 511b that has a decent waf.
