Sounds like they may be Voice of the Theatres, although it's also true that Altec used the same components in the VOTT as they did in some home models. For example the Valencia uses the same components as the A7-8 VOTT. They keys to answering your question would be to determine the model of the LF driver and crossover and the cabinet. If the bass driver is horn-loaded, it's almost certainly some iteration of the VOTT. I would encourage you to go to the Lansing Heritage website (www.audioheritage.org) and go the Altec Lansing pages on that site: they have reproduced many vintage Altec catalogues and likely you'll be able to answer your question by checking out the various old product descriptions and illustrations.

what altec speakers do I have?
I have a pair of very old altec lansing speakers.The horns say 808-8A on them and the woofers are 15" with the biggest magnets on them I have ever seen.THe speakers are extremly large,the size of a klipsch horn.They have the huge horn on top and the separate woofer enclosure on bottom.They have both P.A. style and regular stereo type speaker connections. They don't say voice of the theatre on them anywhere but they look like some I saw on ebay.They are the best sounding speakers I own.I am curious as to what they are. Thank's 89vett
