There is currently on e-Bay a pair of Altec Lansing Model 19s for which the seller is asking $7,500.00! There have been several other pairs at around $5,000 asking prices recently.
Now, I have owned two pair of Model 19s, bought within the last 4-5 years. I paid $1,800. for one pair and $1,200 for the other pair. One of the pairs I bought was in nearly as good a shape as the listed pair, which, I have to say, look to be in fantastic condition.
I think very highly of this model as one of the best large, high-efficiency speakers of its era.
These asking prices seem totally out of whack with the market for these speakers. I wonder what other inmates think. Am I right or did I just get two really good bargains on the speakers I purchased?
Enjoy your music!
