    Never heard of them. But they look interesting. And how BAD could they be. The guy running them has NICE taste in vintage receivers. That's one nice looking Yamaha CR-? there!

    They appear to have been affiliated with Altec Lansing from my quick look at Google. This particular pair was designed by the legendary home-plate umpire Doug Harvey...

    perhaps a first gen white van speaker?
    :lol::lol:

    Pop a driver out and see what it is, take a few pics as well and let's see what we find out.

    If that were a "newer" speaker, Psycho-Acoustics would be a perfect name for a white van company!

    As it is, it almost looks a little DIY to me. Maybe this was a small, local operation!

    I can't believe mhardy hasn't come in on this?

    I'm from the Seattle area and never heard of Psycho-Acoustics. Way back in the day I always wanted a pair of the local Speakerlab Super Sevens though!
