Looks like a work of art! Perfect for an office. But as something to haul around I don't see that gloss black holding up to wear. And the two "Grab Handles" are kind of awkward. How much is it and where can you buy it?

Do you think it would work for a small d.j. set up?

Not yet available but will be around 300. when it is.
I seriously think I want one!!!

Wow that looks nice,i have a laptop that uses altec lansing audio,also i`ve had a altec lansing sub woofer and speakers for my pc..all the stuff they make are hi end..

Nice, but I aint feeling those aluminium grab handles I think they spoil it, looks like a 'what else can we throw on it' last minute thought. Would have looked nicer with smart thin chrome bars each end like the Rising 20/20.

But yeah, I'd give it a home

I like it. And Altec Lansing stands for quality.
I'm pretty shure it will kill the Kaboom
