I feel that Altec did something very silly here. The old batch of ATP3 were nice sounding speakers and they were best sellers too. What did Altec do then ? They 'downgrade' ATP3 to a lesser built and components.

1. People are misled to thinking they are buying they same quality speakers with cheaper price.

2. They destroy the good name that the ATP3 name had gained. Now the new ATP3 is synonymous with mediocre sounding speakers.

I saw someone recently describe ATP3 a legendary speakers Is it like Hang Tuah legendary as in a has been but not anymore ?
