Altec isn't the only victim.

Have you seen what happened to the Dynaco brand?

OMG. This is from their Web site and pretty much says it all:

Since 1990 the Dynaco Division of Panor Corp has been actively introducing innovative new products with the latest offerings in MP-3 players, Home Theater and Surround Systems, DVD Players, LCD Flat Screen Monitors, Audio/Video Receivers, etc.

Today Dynaco also offers the latest products from Sony, Panasonic, Denon, etc.. To fulfill all of your Audio and Video Home Entertainment needs.

Come and experience the continuing legacy of the Dynaco mark.

It's a Web Mall.

You missed the part about: Dynaco is now a Bose dealer,

I saw it and immediately went blind in denial.

I remember the first time I heard the JBL, Junk But Loud, phrase. I was appalled. I'd never heard any of the LX, Radiance or SVA series. I thought the guy was stark raving mad...Now I very sadly understand... He'd never heard anything from the day when JBL meant "Just Bitchin' Loudspeakers." His only JBL experience was this new age *%#& for sale at ***** and ****** and *********( I can't bring myself to say the W word)

...We will leave this place an empty stone,
or a shining ball of blue we can call our home,
Ashes to ashes, all fall down...

Yes it is annoying to see the JBL badge on things like the toy Creature computer speakers but to top that my laptop has 'JBL PRO' inbuilt speakers. JBL Professional..... really?

2245:s?

2245:s?

You got a be kidding! Anyone could see that there is no room for a 2245...

I think a 2235 would be the maximum woofer capability there...

More like 0.02235.

Our lone Windows laptop (in a sea of Macs) at home is a Compaq with a JBLPro label on it. It's a neat label.

it makes me a little sad inside when i see this...once the great name of altec & Lansing, and this is what it has become?, Not worth more than this? where is the respect? it should be ilegal to use such great names on such crap! damn now i have to go listen to some blues. (hopefully i will never have to do just that with the Altec Lansing ACS45)

The glass is half full too...

At least the name is still around - it's REALLY sad when you don't see the name at all anymore like:

"Allied Radio" or

"Heathkit"


...just my 2 cents (I love this smilie in case you haven't noticed!).

[jarrods]

well i was a bit suprised when i took of the laptop's cover...

[Titanium Dome]

Well done!

[porschedpm]

Jarrods, that is fu-uh-unny.

Well, there you have it!

If you hadn't shown me the "proof", I would have NEVER believed it!
