The trouble with "The Same Old Line" is that it assumes people listen with their eyes instead of their ears. There are charts and graphs to look at. Dozens of "Space Age" features to read about. And all kinds of sizes and shapes to confuse you. So, instead of coming on with the same old line, we've come up with some brand new speakers.
The new Bookshelf speaker family from ALTEC has been created specifically for the home listening environment and sounds better for a very simple reason. We've designed them so the hard-to-reproduce frequencies at both ends of the sound spectrum can be heard with a new clarity and brilliance. In other words, we've balanced the sound to suit your ears, not just our test equipment.
And since we realize that a great speaker should be seen as well as heard, we've used the same fine walnut and oak behind the sculptured grille as we use on the outside of the cabinet.
.
So if you like to watch your speakers at work, you won't come fare to face with an ugly, unfinished baffle-board. If you like your grills or, we've got you covered. And if you choose our top of the line Models 7 or 9, we'll give you your choice of any grill color shown.
If all this sounds expensive, you'll be happy to know that in addition to great sound and great looks, our five new Bookshelf models have great prices too. Sound too good to be true? Why not take your favorite album to your nearest ALTEC dealer today. We're sure he'll make a believer out of you.
