The largest and most sought after speaker from Altec Lancing produced for studio or home use.

In beautiful preserved condition, and coming to you from a trusted source. The date code stamped on the woofers indicate they were produced in November of 1966.

The Magnificent were essentially Voice of the Theater A7 speakers, but housed in a gorgeous walnut cabinet meant for studio or residential use.

Each contain their original and genuine 416A 15" Woofers, 802D Drivers, 511B Horns, with N500E Crossovers.

All in perfect operational condition, fully tested in our lab and in our listening room, where we ran a full frequency sweep signal to check for any sort of distortion or coloration and found none.

We also auditioned them with our $250k Jadis reference system and found them to be delightful, able to reproduce with ease the full 30hz to 20khz range.

The cabinets show some age, but are overall very presentable from any angle except upon very close Inspection. They show a deep and well cared for rich patina, and therefore look vintage without looking worn. There is a piece of trim on the right side which we should have back in place soon.

Most importantly is the condition of the delicate wood carved grills, where most of these speakers fail. We are pleased to report that these are in the best condition we have ever seen, with no cracks or dents of any noticeable sort.

We've watched most of these speakers go overseas to collections in Asian markets, or to trendy restaurants here in NYC and LA. We expect these will do the same.

Great showpiece if you're opening a vinyl bar or music themed restaurant.

Shipping within the 48 states is $1,200 which includes professional packaging and crating. Free delivery within 100 miles of 07452.

WHO WE ARE:

SkyFi Audio is a small startup business specializing in the purchase, reconditioning, and reselling of select high-end audio equipment. We only buy equipment the we admire and are passionate about. No mid-fi, no gimmicks, no junk.

Each piece of equipment is cosmetically restored and fully tested in our well-equipped lab by an engineer with 30+ years of experience in the HiFi world. If it does not meet or exceed the original manufactures specifications, it will not be sold. We are very selective about the equipment we purchase, focusing on mostly analog, high-build quality, American, and European built units.

Through our sister company which is an authorized dealer for McIntosh, Audio Research, Sonus Faber, ClearAudio, Pro-Ject Audio Systems, and Sony ES, we have access to OEM parts, service, and support. If you’re local and looking for new equipment from the above-mentioned manufacturers, please drop us a line as we can arrange both sales and professional installation in the tri-state area.

PURCHASING GUIDELINES:

We do not accept or review any offers that do not go through the official Audiogon system. We have too many items for sale and it’s nearly impossible to keep track of offers outside of the official system. Please don’t message, email, or text any offers. 

PAYMENTS:

We prefer working through PayPal which allows you to use a credit card, bank transfer, and their special financing to spread out payments over six months. We do not charge extra for any PayPal fees if you purchase the item at the asking price. You can also send us a personal check (which will need to clear before shipping), certified check, money order, or bank wire transfer. International clients without access to PayPal should use a bank wire transfer. 

If you’re picking up an item, we do not accept PayPal. You must pay in person with a certified check, bank check, or wire transfer. If you make a PayPal payment and are picking up the item, your PayPal payment will be returned. 

TRADE IN POLICY:

We accept trade-ins of equal or lesser value under certain conditions. Simply click here to submit your gear for full consideration. We will only consider high-end equipment from mainstream manufacturers such as McIntosh, Mark Levinson, Audio Research, Krell, etc. and will typically pass on displays, projectors, receivers, dated surround processors, and mid-fi equipment of any type. We will offer a fair value for your equipment, but keep in mind we’re running a business and will need to be able to resell the equipment at a profit after investing a great deal of time and resources in testing, certifying, repairing, cleaning, and packaging the incoming equipment. If you’re looking for top dollar, we suggest selling direct on your own.

SELL US YOUR GEAR (Working or Broken):

We’ll also purchase your used or broken gear and arrange pickup if you’re in our local market. Simply click here to submit your gear for full consideration.

SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT:                                                                                                     

We are currently operating from our shop inside our dedicated building in Glen Rock, NJ. You’re welcome to make an appointment if there’s a piece of equipment you’d like to see in operation before or after purchase. We have several well-equipped and dedicated listening areas, plus a dedicated listening studio with tons of equipment of all makes and models. We’re not a store, so please don’t make an appointment if you’re just curious as to how a speaker or piece of equipment sounds. In essence - no tire kickers please.

You can call or text 201-879-0000 with any questions or to schedule an appointment. We can also arrange to install, calibrate, and tune your newly purchased gear in your listening room if you’re local to our area. This is super useful when purchasing large speakers or heavy amplifiers. It’s also great for ensuring your new turntable is setup correctly in its final resting place.
