This popped up on my ebay search. While still a Bluetooth speaker, it at least has a 15? woofer, and compression driver. I wonder what parts they used? Judging from the gimmicky LED lights, they probably used pretty cheap parts.
Brand NEW Altec Lansing Lightning Active LED Bluetooth Speaker ALP-L2200PK | eBay
They're popping up a lot lately. Can't imagine what they could sound like.
Seems as though the current owners of Altec sit around and think up things they can do to further debase the brand. It's shameful, in my opinion. They should name these products Sparkomatic, MTX, Blastorama, George - anything but Altec! But that's the age we live in. The name owners intend to milk it for all it's worth until it becomes synonymous with JUNK.
GeeDeeEmm
I would think it?s more a POS speaker than a proper PA speaker...
I bet they have plastic woofer frames:eek:
:D .
Can the degradation get any worse?Quote:

You know how badly the name has been devalued when the reviewer says that Altec is "the outfit famous for making those tinny speakers slammed into your laptop." The glory days of Altec are not even a faint memory in the minds of this generation.
By the way, the little "floor monitor" doesn't look too bad. If that's any consolation.

Most people of my generation (20 or 30 somethings) have no clue about the original Altec. I was talking to a guy at work who had an Altec sticker on his tool box. Of course it was for a Altec bluetooth speaker.
These guys have no interest in HiFi. Most have bluetooth speakers and some kind of ear buds or headphones. Their best stereo is their car stereo.
It makes me worry about what the brand will be in 30 years.
