New Altec Lansing Custom Series IEM's

[Swatcsi]

Altec Lansing has 3 new models of custom IEM's, the A1, A2, & A3 ranging in price from $499-$999, I'm really interested to hear thoughts and impressions once these are available. They will be available in December, more information here:

saw this the other day and was quite surprised by the prices.

yea, it seems like Altec is trying to redeem themselves in the high end market, lets see how it goes

They have to up their game a bit after some of the desktop 2.0 and 2.1 systems they released! Not that they were completely crap but just not up to the name. (A bit like Harman Kardon amps until the recent generation)
The new customs do look brilliant though. I do like to dribble over customs lol.

Knowing Altec these are probobly outsourced to someone else.
 
Think they still go to UE for it ?

It's ACS according to the article.

Yes, it is based on the ACS custom IEMs, but according to their marketing group they are tuned differently than the ACS models.
