Hello I've been speaker hunting for my dorm next year, and when I came across the Expressionist Ultra it was perfect! However of course it's also out of stock! ): any possible estimate of when new orders are available? God forbid they discontinued them!:eek:

We are fans of the vintage Altec speakers, and the JBL systems.
We are not connected to the factory or to any distributors.

These Ultras are apparently computer speakers made by a company currently selling things under the Altec name -
they are connected by name only to the original Altec Lansing firm that made the classic speakers.
I had to Google them to even see what they are & I have no clue when they will be in stores.

I used Google to find an online source - and got prices from $147 up to around $300
You could order a pair that way.

Happy shopping!

Ah, ah, ah. Altec Lansing: the company now mostly known for making cheap computer plastic speakers... Sad. So sad.

I'll be sixty on my next birthday and I'm older than all of my speakers, too . . . but not by much! My oldest JBL 030 was purchased by my father when I was about four-years old and it still has all its original part!


Either we're really tall or some of our big-ass speakers ain't really that big:

I would say that could still be considered a "Big ass computer speaker":)

Nah, didn't your west coast mystic once sing:
"You're only geezey as you feel ...
Only geezey as you feel inside ..."

Strut!

Does that make me a geezer?
AND yes, my son is patched into my big assed speakers with his gameing computer. When he gets to playing dub step music the whole house rumbles!

Nope - Phil and I got some time on ya -
and we're not Geeze yet ...
So you're not a geeze yet - if you don't want to be.

You might be a geeze if ...
... you'd rather spend a nice sunny weekend in the basement sorting and cataloging old tubes instead of enjoying the day outside.

Well I guess that means I'm not a Geeze after all!
