Pros: Size, Price Cons: May not be powerful enough

When I went speaker shopping and checked out all
the different brands I was amazed at the fantastic

Pros: Inexpensive and a good deal for the good quality, an all around good speaker set. Cons: Compromising quality for price.

I recently bought a new computer that came with the cheapest speakers I had ever seen. They were small, ugly, and sounded like it was made out of a tin can. I couldn't put up with that, could anyone? Well, I saw some Altec Lansing speakers in the AD's...

About the only good thing I can say about these speakers is that they are affordable.
These speakers distort sound incredibly bad. Especially bass. At around 110 Hz, the sub doesn't put out a constant tone, rather it just makes a noise that...
Pros: Small, stylish, inexpensive. Cons: No pass-through ports for another set of speakers.
I bought this little doohickie because I figured, hey, what the heck. It was inexpensive, only 59.99, and it sounds incredible! Isn't that what a subwoofer is supposed to do anyway? Whether you're listening to MP3s or playing hardcore video games,...

Pros: Great sound for the price Cons: Slight hissing when volume turned all the way up
Well I got these speakers when some idiot killed the old ones by using the wrong power supply when messing with cables, and I must say for only costing $30 these pump out some great sound, in light of what I was thinking of getting (4.1 system)
I have the sub under my desk so everything sounds great there and the two sat. speakers on the sides of my monitor.
I only have one con and that is a slight hissing when the volume is all the way up, but that is easily fixed by turning down the volume dial on the speakers a little, Not like you should really need it that loud anyways.
