Do you Think Altec model 19 is outdated speakers ?
your opinion matters.
An old guy (79) with old Altec A7-8 speakers brought new in 1975. These are an older version of your Model 19s. Yes they are big, but very efficient (97DB) and still sound great. Melco music server, Luxman DAC, and a Luxman tube integrated amp. You won't be disappointed with the Model 19s Good luck, Craig |
Art Dudley of Stereophile bought and listened to a pair of Altec Flamenco speakers.

@cns1946 An old and wise guy ! A 7 -8 are magnificent speakers it is a landmark product one of the greatest American loudspeakers ever. I also have Altec 414-8c Onken style cabinet They are great too but Altec 19 are got the edge. |
@jsalerno277 in fact I Responded to you Directly ! back in 1973 KEF was the first loudspeaker firm in the world to implement the use of computers in loudspeaker design and measurement. The LS3/5a was the original mini monitor, inspired by KEF drivers and designed at the BBC, that transformed the audio experience in 1975. as an retired BBC sound engineer we have had massive benefits having those monitors various applications on the other hand some of my sound engineer colleagues & I always admired capability & purity of Mighty American made Altec monitors. not sure why you do not understand uploading Altec video on you tube ? frankly you do not have to be brain surgeon nor rocket scientist to figure it out. Here it is another Altec video ,,,,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bI0PeIfivCo&t=101s&pp=ygUcaHR0cHM6Ly95b3V0dS5iZS9iaTBwZWlmaXZjb9IHCQnHCQGHKiGM7w%3D%3D Have fun and enjoy whatever you do . |
