Lately I've been working on my Valencias, preparing to cut new back panels and playing with the Werner Jagusch crossover. I was trying to be good! But what to my wandering eyes should appear, but a local estate auction including a lovely pair of Altec Iconic Flamencos.
I had to bring them home. So far they look really nice. I've opened up one of them and they are very clean. Date code on 806A driver indicates 1965. Does this sync with Iconic manufacturing dates? Both drivers indicate 16 ohms. When I get time I will hook them up for a listen. Then I will have to make a big decision! Only one pair will be able to stay. As one of my co-workers likes to say, it is a first-world problem. Truly an embarrassment of riches.
