i had these speakers for about a year and trust me till this day i feel sorry that i sold them. now some people might ask why i sold them, so the answer to that question is ..... to make some profit out of them!! :) its always about the money isnt it!! :) anyways, these were one of the best speakers i have ever owned. though they didnt have too much power, i guess about 210watts peak but still they were able to compete with my current logitech z5300, which has 560 watt peak. they both are thx certified but i think that altec lansing sound more refined than logitech. i would like to mention one thing here, if you are thinking of buying these speakers, make sure your sound card is compatible with them. i hooked them up with creative audigy 2 zs and they didnt work very well. i was getting output from 2 channels only. then i replaced my creative with turtle beach santa cruz and valla, i was enjoying the crisp sound of 4.1 channel in no time.

DO NOT LET THIS SET GO BY THEY ARE THE BEST I HAVE EVER OWNED.YOU WILL FIND LOUDER BUT NONE CLEARER.THEY WILL GIVE YOU A GOOD EAR PONDING ALL THE SAME.

I purchased this system from Dell when I bought my computer from them in 2001. I asked for their best system. Boy was I surprised. It was a snap to hook up. All of the wiring is color coded to match the back of the processor. It features four separate small speakers and one floor standing subwoofer. This baby rocks. Sounds as good as my home stereo. If you find them, buy them. You will not be disappointed. It has an on/off switch on the right front speaker as well as bass, treble and mode switch. Also a volume control on the right
It is no longer available, but comes up for sale from time to time.
