Altec Lansing 40 (Years Unknown)
It is not clear whether "Altec Lansing 40" is a specific model or just a generic description of a 40-watt speaker kit. The only known reference is a French marketplace listing for a "Kit D'enceintes Altec Lansing 40 Watts". That could mean a product actually called the Lansing 40, or it could mean a speaker kit rated at 40 watts with no distinct model name.
Here is what little can be said. It was a speaker or subwoofer in a "Mini Wedge" form factor. A period review called the speaker somewhat warm, with very good deep bass (HiFI-Stereo, February 1987, p.56). One listing gives an original price of $75.00, though the currency and year are unspecified. No detailed specs are documented in any source found: no frequency response, impedance, driver configuration, dimensions or weight. No production years, market positioning or user reviews have surfaced either.
The Archive has no confirmed reference to a "Lansing 40" in any period Altec literature, catalog, or known product lineup. The identity of this item remains uncertain.
