| ronc27's Full Review: Altec Lansing ACS 54 4 Speakers |
Recently the subwoofer of my Labtec 2414 speakers developed a short in it (read my epinion on the Labtec speakers for more information), leaving me without any thumping bass. This was unacceptable. I quickly started searching for a quality set of speakers so I would have the full sound effects in my computer games and the music I listen to would have it's bass back in it.
I looked on the Internet and in Computer Shopper magazine and decided on the Altec Lansing ACS 54 speakers. They were quality, brand name speakers that were in just the right price range. Amazon.com had them the cheapest I could find. They were 57.48 not counting shipping and handling. A great value for these speakers.
I ordered them and around a week later got them in the mail. I immediately opened them up and hooked them in. Set up was simple. All of the jacks are color coded and the instructions were easy to follow. The instructions also had illustrations so there could be no confusion. Placement was also no problem as the wires were all long enough to put them just where I wanted them.
After I had the speakers hooked up I fired up my favorite computer game. The sound effects were crystal clear and music clarity was great as well. The bass really thumped the floor. The subwoofer has a bass control knob on it so you can adjust the bass to suit your taste. The front right speaker has a surround knob and the master volume knob on it for easy access. The only control I had a problem with was the power button. It is on the back on the front right speaker. In my opinion not a great place to put it. Too hard to get to.
All in all I am extremely happy with these speakers. I would recommend them to anyone who wanted a quality set of speakers for a decent price. You can't go wrong with these speakers.
