Altec A7 "Voice of the Theater"

Altec A7 "The Voice of the Theatre" speaker with vintage Cinemeccanica amplifier

Note: single unit, not a pair

Can discuss possible shipping, would rather keep as one unit but potentially willing to part out.

Located in Alberta, Canada. Open to reasonable offers, especially if you can pick up locally. Happy to demo for serious buyers.

Includes rear-mounted Italian vintage Cinemeccanica C55/PT amplifier as well as a spare amp for parts.

Can include a DI and cables so you can plug and play from a phone with USB-C

The speaker performs perfectly: clean, powerful sound with no electronic issues.

Cosmetically, the cabinet shows honest wear and scratches consistent with age, original Altec decals are intact, paint is original.

This would be fantastic in a number of applications, including unique home audio, recording, restaurant/bars, shops, workshops, anywhere where you want a punchy, crisp speaker with a ton of history behind it. There aren't many of these out there anymore
