ALTEC LANSING FX3022 25 Watts RMS 2.0 Expressionist BASS Speakers

Pros: They turn on.

Cons: They turn on, looking almost exactly like a pair of Daleks from Dr. Who, yet they don't sound quite as nice.

Other Thoughts: Don't bother wasting your money on these things.

Pros: Nice looks
Good mids and highs

Cons: Bass sounds distorted even at moderate levels
Bass unacceptable at high volume levels

Other Thoughts: The speakers have good looks and reproduce mids and highs fairly well, but the bass would begin to distort even at temperate volume levels. At moderate volumes the speakers themselves don't look to moving to their limits yet the sound they reproduce sounds like one of a much higher volume level. Pretty disappointed in these. In the end there is no true replacement for a sub, even a small 5 or 6 inch one.

Pros: Very cool looking design while delivering a clean deep bass and balanced sounding drivers that disperse like a 3.1 setup thru a small foot print. Slick shiny black "gas can looking" speakers create a very modern appearance with my 28' Hanns G and Antec 902 gaming rig/media center. Techno sounds very good while HD movies really sound good with the deep bass.

Cons: Retail list 119.00 a bit high, but I bought mine from *rys for seventy-nine with no rebate in April

Pros: Very good sound quality for a desktop speaker. The sub woofers do put out a lot of low range sound. Compact design, save me a lots of space.

Cons: Pricey for a desktop speaker.

Pros: Slick art-deco inspired design. Definitely different from your average desktop speakers. The sound quality is pretty loud for its size. There's little distortion when played moderately. The built in subs at the bottom of the speakers are very heavy bass but the highs and mid-range are sort of a mixed bag. Very easy to set up there's very little wiring to fiddle around with.

Cons: I would say those looking for an audiophile like experience, I'd personally look elsewhere. The sound overall isn't mind blowing but it gets the job done for a 2.1 set up. A digital optical jack would have been nice.

Other Thoughts: This is my first set of speakers from Altec, overall I'm satisfied with my purchase and at the current price, They're a steal! Go get these now!

Pros: Sound nice, look nice, no subwoofer under my desk.

Cons: Pricey for what is essentially a 2.0 setup.
Plastic feet do not absorb vibration well

Other Thoughts: Take a sheet of stick-on felt, an x-acto knife and about 20 mins to put some more damping on the stock rubber pads. No more vibrations.

Pros: lound sound.
turn on and off very quickly with just a touch.
volume buttons are quick and easy to access.

Cons: you cant change the amount of base!
sub woofers sorta vibrate the table since they're in the speakers and are too high without using software to lower it. Speakers are larger than they look.

Pros: Works Great for me, small size big noise. Im no sound geek but I do listen to music some time and these sound great!

Cons: Kinda spendy

Pros: Attractive design, bass sound

Cons: Unbalanced sound, poor acoustics

Other Thoughts: I bought these hoping to get good all around speakers for music and movie watching on our family room computer. I was disappointed with the sound quality. Rock music just sounds like bass guitar and cymbals. The speakers are horrible in the mid-range and music sounds unbalanced. Despite plenty of EQ tweaking, I couldn't get these to reproduce any music worth listening to.

Pros: Beautifully designed and perfectly executed. Bravo Altec.
The sound is as rich and the base is as smooth as with any system with separate sub woofer. Saves space by not having one. Classic, Jaz, Pop, Rock - anything you wish sounds great. Mid and low range are very clear and highs are very decent too. Very futuristic looking. Very Cool. I enjoy them tremendously and am happy I did not buy a system with a stand alone subwoofer.

Cons: Cant find any.. Probably the only thing to get the best sound for any particular genre you should use an equalizer on your computer, but this is true for any speaker out there!

Other Thoughts: Its always hard to find a balance between the specs and the design, but this speakers have it all!
