High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Price information for our Iconic 704-8A speakers.

70.211.25.98

Kipp

i'm going to be getting into some type of Altec 604 type speaker. I can't find price and availability information for the iconic 704 speakers. I sent an email, but no return yet. Does anyone know what the current price is with crossovers and without crossovers? I know what the prices are for the GPA 604's ($950 w XO list)- and of course there's always vintage Altec. Thanks, Kip.............any other info on the Iconics would also be appreciated.

I think Icocnic shut down some time ago. It seems that Bill & Co. at GPA are/have been the only ones producing authentic Altec gear on the old manufacturing/tooling equipment that was bought from Altec when the OKC facility was shut down.......

I would suspect anyone else making/producing any altec gear is probably buying it from Bill and slapping their name on it.....

  Iconic are still in business- but they are not as active as GPA. There is some connection between the two companies- they may have been one company; then split. If you look at the spec sheets, you can see that the documents have the same graphic look, fonts, and illustration style. I left an email with them and got a phone call back from Steve Burger, head of marketing- very friendly, and gave me all info I needed. They don't stock as much as GPA. Prices are pretty much the same.
