I was just wondering in the past decades the ALTEC seemed to be the "MONITOR" for all pro studios and on a thousand gold records, hall of fame stuff..
so why isn't anyone using them today?
we , the gearheads, seem to salivate over 1073 preamps and old mic's and tube stuff from the same era, old MArtin guitars and Gibsons and Fender...
but the ALTEC faded out? Does anyone own some still?
Has anyone ever heard them in a studio? were they better than any other speaker on earth?
They seem to be in EMI to Columbia and others as THE professional studio monitor for a long time.
RIP ALTEC...
