Rare Altec Magnificent Speakers

The Altec Magnificent speakers are a legendary piece of audio history, revered for their bold design and studio-grade performance. These speakers are essentially a refined version of Altec's iconic Voice of the Theater A7 system, but housed in elegant walnut cabinets tailored for home or studio use. Each unit typically features:

• 416 15" woofers for deep, resonant bass
  
• 802D compression drivers paired with 511B horns for crisp mids and highs
  
• N500G crossovers ensure smooth frequency transitions

With a frequency range from 30Hz to 20kHz and a sensitivity of 103dB/W, they deliver powerful, room-filling sound with remarkable clarity. The use of Altec's technology enhances high-frequency response, making them ideal for both music reproduction and cinematic audio.

Aesthetically, the Magnificent speakers are known for their carved wood grilles and rich patina, which give them a vintage charm that's hard to replicate. They've become prized collector's items, often seen in upscale vinyl bars or music-themed venues.
