Altec Lansing AHT-2200 (c. 1994–1995)
Documentation on the Altec Lansing AHT-2200 is thin. What survives comes mostly from period directories and one brief user's report. The model appears to have been a THX-certified front-channel loudspeaker from Altec's mid-1990s home theater lineup. It is listed in the same directory entry as the AHT-2300 powered subwoofer, which suggests the two were meant as a matched THX system.
The most concrete record is the Audio equipment directory (October 1995, p.220). It lists the AHT-2200 as a THX front design with two 5-inch woofers and two dome tweeters, rated response of 80 Hz to 16 kHz ±3 dB, and 89 dB sensitivity. No original price is clearly attached to the 2200 in that entry. The "$1,200 each" figure belongs to the larger AHT-2300 sub in the same listing.
A short user's report in HI-Fi-Stereo-Buyers (January 1994, p.55) found the on-axis frequency response fairly flat - controlled, if not especially tightly, by Home THX limits. Off-axis, the sound tended to be somewhat dull. Beyond that, no production dates, design details, or further reception are documented. Production years are not recorded, and the surviving citations simply fall in 1994-1995.
