Altec Lansing A7: 1950s Studio Monitors for $6100 Each; CRaaaaaZAY

Altec Lansing’s A7 speakers were hot shit in the 1950s through the 1970s. It was then that they were known as the “Voice of the Theater”, distinguished by being the only commercially-available speakers approved by the Research Council at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. I totally cut and paste that, and I…

Tymphany LAT Subwoofer: Stacked Drivers Make More Boom

Tymphany LAT, featured in a looong piece at Wired.com, is supposed to be a subwoofer that takes up much less size than others.

Sound quality, schmound quality. It is more important to have a unique-looking speaker that sounds horrible but looks good doing it.
