Altec "Stonehenge III" speakers from 1977 - Any Good?

The Classic Altec sound is the 19's or the 17's Compression drivers.

Also owned the Large Jbl's  L300 ect

I now own the B&W 800 Matrix, in some ways Cannot Compare with the Large Altecs.

Did you get the Altecs?

@jasonbourne71 yea, seen a pair near me for $3500, faded front.  Seems nutz to me too, but then again I really have no true frame of 'value' for these vs the actual sound.  Do you find your bass/mid bass adequate?  That is the only thing I am finding from folks mentioning as a dislike (I think in comparison to other similar price or similar driver and speaker size units).

I have the Stonehenge II's. They certainly aren't worth $2800 - $5000 - that's nuts! I paid a few hundred for the II's. The Altec Stonehenge series are very good rock/jazz speakers. Comparable to JBL.

Thanks @hiend2 .  The Model #19s are what I would -really- like to have, or the 17s.  But I had never seen the Stonehenge model and kind of liked the smaller more 'conventional' floor stander as opposed to the large square box. 

I am curious what the draw backs are to the Stonehenge models.  They seem more affordable that's for sure!

You "had" 19s....what are you using now?

I was a Altec Fan Had the #19 and Ax7 systems.

 I looked the one you mention and would  Be Winners.

Careful with the price But Dont think you would be disappointed

Very efficient Probably best for rock and jazz

\Let us know if you pull the trigger
