Altec Lansing M500 Maestro's
$900 by Out with the old...in with the in Alamogordo, Aug 06
I'm selling a pair of Altec Lansing M500 Maestro's. These are very unique speakers that put out a lot of sound and can handle 250 watts easily. The drivers all work and the woofer surrounds just re-foamed using the 40HZ method and Simply Speakers Foam Kit. Boxes gone through with minor repairs to a few corners and a good coat of EXOHIDE Protective Coating. Crossovers were completely recapped and three resistors replaced. Attenuators were added for the horn to adjust its volume. The two bottom ports are plugged for home use but they are easily removable if one wants to take them out. These speakers were normally for theaters or larger areas; however, with the work to the crossovers, added attenuators, and some lower port work, these seem to sound very good in a larger house room. The cabinets look very good with the little wood filler I added, sanding, and some EXOHIDE paint. Again, these Maestro's look really, really good, but they are not showroom condition. The cabinets overall are pretty solid. One serial number is a 20? something and I cannot read the other one because of its fade but think it is a four digit number, so these are not sequential numbers. These were taken out of a small theatre in my local town. Not many of these were made because the company was sold shortly after production started; however, they were made in the USA. They are large speakers and shipping is not an option unless arrangement and discussions beforehand. The grill covers are in good shape with no tears and frames are flawless. Both covers have the original Altec Lansing emblems attached. I live in New Mexico and would consider traveling to Las Cruces, NM; El Paso, TX; and Socorro, NM to help in delivery. My price is firm because these are selling for much higher and I am taking into consideration that these are about 8.5 out of ten or very, very good. They sound is amazing and the surrounds should last another 15 years with the new installed replacements. These are ready to go speakers.
