Between my 604-8G's and the current 802/32/414 build that I need to wrap up, you'd think I have my bases covered. Well, a pair of Altec 890B's popped up on the local Offer Up. I'd never heard a pair but always been intrigued by what I'd heard about them.
I stopped by for a listen and it didn't take long before I was loading them into my car and driving home. I don't think I've ever heard that much sound come out of a speaker this size. They have a surprising bottom end and that gorgeous Altec midrange. I think these may knock the KLH 6's out of the office.
The cabinets are in decent shape but I know that with how picky I am about my gear I'll likely end up re-veneering them.
Anyone here have experience with these smaller Altec "bookshelf" speakers?
Not mine, image borrowed but mine look like these.
