I bought these Altec model 1231 and made a sound test in the rehearsal room of the band that sold them to me. The room was not very audiophile sounding proof and concrete floor. But i recognized the potential of these speakers, beautiful highs, mid"s and upper bass. I miss some deep bass(18hz to 50hz) but that is because of the construction of the cabinets. If you combine these speakers with a 15 inch sub the sound should be fantastic.....I however made a big mistake. I only thought of the sound but the speakers are to big and heavy(about 30/35 kilo each). So they are still in my car. I am gathering courage to bring them home. I am going to sell them as soon as possible, I am willing to resell them at half the price I paid so a very big mistake. The Altec 617-8A (duplex drivers from the altec model 1230) are normally selling for 200 euro each. The sound of the 1231 drivers(not duplex) is so much better as the 1230...If I compare these 1231&with the JBL L100 an 4312A, I previous tested, these Altec&sound so much better as those JBL&so much better. The drivers in these Altec model 1231 are the 417-8H mid/bass driver and the 808-8b high driver not sure about the cross over but everything is original. I believe with very good new caps in the cross overs these speaker could even sound better.
