POLL: How Many Forum Members own 846A, 846B or 846U Speakers?

[Storm]

Please post a response if you own or have owned 846A, 846B or 846U Altec Loudspeakers.

I am just doing an unscientific study to see how many of the 6,000+ members around the world own these speakers and to get a better understanding of how many Altec might have produced.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Okay.

With the lack of additional posts - what can I conclude?

Are these Altecs much more scarce than I thought?

Out of nearly 6K members and much more that have no idea about this forum around the world - I truly wonder how many can still exist.

Thank you for your help in this un-scientific study.

Valencias aren't uncommon at all, I know several owners. It's just after your 300+ repetitive, unnecessary posts about them, no one will admit it now.

[Storm]

Sorry - I dont mean to be repetitive, just thought in individual thread would be great.

Maybe we need to set up something on this forum or site and list all the speakers JBL and ALTEC produced and everyone can put a check next to the ones they own.

Just a thought. I am just intrigued to understand how many Altec could have produced and how many are still out there.

Thanks.

You should probably conclude from this poll and from looking over the thousands of posts on this forum, that the membership of the Lansing Heritage Forum is skewed toward JBL... which is not a reflection on the quality of Altecs... just the fact that there are more JBL fans here than Altec heads... we are all welcome here and many of us have had or do have examples of both in our stables.

You should ask about your speakers on Todd White's forum where the discussion centers on Altecs.

Thanks for the advice Widget - but I will stick to this forum.

I want to get the Altec heads out of the woodwork on this forum. This can breed a healthly discussion of Altec, just as well as JBL.

I never saw a SIGN on this site stating JBL topics only.

Contemplating acquiring an 846B from a fellow audiophile who couldn't achieve the right WAF threshhold...
