Pros: Loud . Inexpensive . 3 piece system with powered sub Cons: Does not have seperate Treble - Bass Controls
About a year ago, my lovely kitten Olivia, in her attempt at amusing herself, ate through my speaker wires. Granted they were little speakers that didn't offer much in the way of sound but they were better then surfing mutely.
I'm a...

Pros: Great Multimedia, Low-Frequency Bass, Pricing. Overall, it has served me well. Cons: Bass Adjustment Missing From Particular Model
I walked down the long corridor of my house, cloaked with night as the warmth evaded the atmosphere. Creeping down the hallway, I noticed a candle, dimly lit with a turquoise fog. Baffled, I picked it up, only to realize I was holding that of...

Pros: Don't have to spend a lot to get decent sound quality Cons: The cords could be longer to allow for variety of placement needs
Not long after we began using our computer for listening to various radio stations around the country and playing our mp3 files, we decided the speakers that came with the computer were not meeting our needs.
Although we burn our own cd's and...

Pros: Great bass, great sound, inexpensive Cons: None
I got one of those "bargain basement" computers. I was very satisfied, I mean, who cares if it didn't have a monitor, I already had one, I already had a printer too. The only bad thing was that the speakers it came with absolutely sucked. I...

Pros: Quality sound and clarity Cons: Now bass or treble adjustment
I have found that I work much better when I have tunes giving me inspiration. Since the majority of my day is spent on the computer, I listen to CDs, MP3s and some real audio during the day to the extent that I can stand the tinny, unrealistic sound of...

Pros: bass, durability Cons: doesnt perform well at high volume
I have a dell Dimension XPS T500 which initially came with $25 Harman Kardon speakers. I decided to upgrade to the ~$60 ACS speakers and woofer because my video games needed a little extra oomph. Boy, was I happy I did! The speakers are...

Pros: Small and Inexpensive Cons: None
The Altec ACS33 speakers are my choice for inexpensive speakers that put out good sound. I have used them for over a year now, maybe a year and a half. They provide me with great sound quality and when cranked way up, will really make some noise. These...

Pros: Size, Price Cons: May not be powerful enough
For those of you that use those cheap speakers that come with your computer when you buy it from the store, this is a product for you. I like you was reluctant to purchase new speakers because of price, and there are just too many choices out there....

Pros: BASS BASS BASS hounds love this Cons: not many features, sound quality decent
I'm a college student and find that music is an important part of the college experience. Thus a good system is essential.
The Altec is a great system for the price. It's almost as though you are buying at cost:
Buy.com sells them for...

Pros: great sound, big low-end bass, affordable Cons: maybe it's just me but I have no complaints
When I went speaker shopping and checked out all
the different brands I was amazed at the fantastic
sound you could buy for $50 or less. The big
difference from the older systems available is
that most newer speakers include a...

Pros: Good Sound Cons: Satellite speakers are 1 unit
The Altec Lansing ACS33 speakers are a good choice when it comes to Computer Audio.
I have spent a good amount of time working with Altec Lansing speakers, and I have never been disappointed by their performance. They always deliver quality...

Pros: Cheap! Reasonable quality, good value. Cons: Inadequate if you want true Hi-Fi
I picked up two sets of the $50 Altec ACS33 and remain quite satisfied.
I purchased them mainly on price. I wanted speakers for my PC that were slightly better than the 2-piece system I was using, but I didn't care enough about the quality to...

Pros: Great sound, affortable price Cons: Nothing!
A few years ago, when I bought my screaming Micron 233 PC (well, screaming for about a day), I got a set of speakers with my "state of the art machine". The speakers were about the size of a closed fist and sounded like cans connected together...

Pros: Loud, powerful, CHEAP Cons: not much midrange power, doesn't come is cool colors like I-Macs do.
I love these things! I was given an E-Monster 600 for a graduation gift, and I was close to crying when I saw the speakers that came with it. They weighed about two ounces and started vibrating something horrible when the volume was more than...

Pros: Great price; good sound Cons: Some distortion at higher volumes
I bought the Altec Lansing ACS33 3-piece speakers a few weeks back hoping to add four point surround sound to my system (I have a Sound Blaster Live! Value sound card and already had a 3-piece JBL Pro Premium speaker set). I got them for about 40...
