    Restock Expressionist?

    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!

    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.

    Welcome to the Forum... we are mostly a group of old geezers with big ass speakers... many of us have speakers that are decades older than you probably are... all that aside, if you poke around here a bit you might discover better ways to chase the bass.

    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:

    Only geezey as you feel inside ..."
