small is relative...

The Santiagos aren't huge (a little bigger than the Santana) yet they are real Altecs (despite the prevailing opinion among the brethren).

The "Dynamic Force" woofers, despite the protestations of some (perhaps many) of the faithul, ain't bad drivers... yeah, not a 416, but I'll let you in on a dirty little secret -- the Santiagos produce bass (i.e., compared to the Valencia). And mind you, I like the 846A Valencias. A lot. They were my Altec gateway drug.

I write the above for one reason -- the 'cognoscenti' besmirch the Santiagos... and that keeps the price down.

Mine were 200 smackers (local CL find in MA).

They were my daily drivers for a while in MA and in the early days at the NH house.

(see them jammed into the corners in the photo above)

They (to quote early Bottlehead adopter Steve Culton) -- do not suck.

Just a suggestion, of course.
