great 4 price...2 flaws [Posted on 2005-02-11]
these sound pretty good for the money. pretty bassy..better in that respect than most out there..again, esp. for the money. some other reviews say they are simulated surround, etc. but they are as advertised a pro logic system. not dolby digital (5 totally seperate channels + bass signal to the sub) there are only 2 problems. there is always a hiss, not too noticeable, but there, whenever is plugged in. only solutions are to either unplug it or plug in cheap headphones into the wired remote control and unplug them when you want to use it. the other flaw is in the volume control. it has an electronic volume dial that controls other settings as well. problem is that on volume, the incerements are way to big...either that or there is a problem with mine. (if anyone else's is like this, post here) on mine, the volume only goes up or down every 2 clicks of the wheel, not each click. and then when it does, its too much, it's not a problem during the day usually when it doesn't matter, but i live in an apartment and its hard to find the right volume where i can hear it but the room mates/neighbors can't.
Great Speaker after some modding :) [Posted on 2005-02-11]
Well this set of speaker sounds better then my old 4.1 Altec Lansing speakers.
At first I was disappointed that it was simulated 5.1 sound but luckily I have some electronic knowledge so I opened it up and started mapping it out, I managed to add separate inputs for each speaker which sounds awesome on my audigy soundcard. (Takes to much time and extra components)
I wouldn't really recommend this to computer users or someone wanting to build a true entertainment center, but it is adequate for console gaming and normal TV viewing purposes.
best deal ever! [Posted on 2005-02-16]
I have done some price research with other online stores. Amazon has the greatest deal. Other stores sell around 70 dollars. Plus $30 gift certificate if you apply for amazon visa card will bring the price down to $9.98 with FREE shipping!! What's the deal! Do not compare the quality of this speaker with $200 speaker on the market. You will be satisfied.
Good deal for the price [Posted on 2005-02-20]
The sound quality is pretty clear and good enough for an apartment. Except the hissing sound of the speakers when power turned off and the wired remote, I am satisfied with everything else. Good deal and at amazon just 40 bucks.
Fantastic Deal for the price. [Posted on 2005-02-25]
The 6 speaker system is Superb in sound quality especially when hooked up to my DVD recorder. When at a cost of only $40.00 where else can you get a 6 speakers 5.1 surround system for this price and it is Altec Lansing.I would not say they are the greatest sounding speakers but for $40 you can't go wrong. When other 5.1 surround speakers systems will run you more than $100.
