Altec 17's:

So I have a pair of what I think are Altec 17's or 18's. Other than being very large size wise, what makes these such a good speaker? Also, I've tried researching the ones I have, but I haven't found any that have a checkerboard cabinet like mine. They are split in 2 colors (top r bottom r one color top l bottom l another). Any help?

As you can see (via the link) 18" woofers were not used and the 17/18
models used single coaxial drivers.

Even the VOT used a 15" woofer.

Models 14, 15 & 19 used woofer/horn tweeter combos.
