Altec Lansing is one of the biggest names in American audio history, it pained me to see once mighty brand sinking to the most cheap Chinese multimedia speakers. But if it ever goes into production, this new concept from designer Nuno Teixeira could Altec back to the top.

Still no word on pricing and availability.
