Another new audio product from the fine folks at Altec Lansing. (Disclaimer) No, I do not own stock in Altec, or have a relative working there. I simply love their products. I still use a pair of A-L "Design 1" speakers that are almost 35 years old. These survived having an entire 2 car garage collapse on them with no ill effects and still sound as great as they did in the 1970s.
