ALT is not magic. It is a dispersion lens technology that will help improve dispersion and power response. It will not remove distortion or magically improve bad loudspeaker design in any way.

Has someone said it did?

Sorry forgotten to quote. I was referring to Chrisreunion's post. He believed that ALT will give the Lab8000 and 6000 a facelift in terms of sound quality. I think high frequency production is the least of their problems.

ALT may not provide "more" treble on those speakers, however if B&O invested so much in this technology, there has to be a reason; and if the tweeters are on top of the cabinet, even with a small motor, it would leave more internal space for the bass port/vents or even for an extra woofer, to provide more bass to these columns who do suffer from a lack of bass (which in return enhances the treble perception)

This whole "facelift" makes sense only if B&O use ICE amps instead of the bulky AB amps in Lab 6000/8000, in order to really allow more cabinet volume for bass reproduction. That was my whole "plan"
