Mid 60's-the Altec A7s

driven by A 70 watt Dynaco amp. They were huge, bigger was better! This was in an isolated cabin on a hilltop in the redwoods of La Honda, Ca. It took four us to schlep them up the 220 step path to the cabin. I had no neighbor within a mile of the property, boy they could play loud and they were largely flat.
They are now being manufactured again but I no longer have the room and now I have neighbors. Jimi Hendrix or the Dead played thru these was just like being there live.....that was because they played live through identical speakers.
