| drevil83's Full Review: Altec Lansing ACS 54 4 Speakers |
If you are going to buy these speakers make sure you have a nice soundcard, it MUST be 4 channel to get the true quality of the speakers out. They have a nice crisp sound and are very easy to "install" with colour coding to make connection of cables very very simple. You will have the physical set up done in minutes.
There is great power that comes out of these speakers, easily enough for gaming and plenty to fill a bedroom with lots of music with a sub that is cable of holding it's weight in bass power. The only problem would be that the sub does not have a bass adjustment feature, as the later version of these speakers (the ACS 56?) has which would have been nice just to get that little bit extra bass out of the speakers.
The speakers do not take up too much space and sub can be hidden on floor or behind monitor etc. Cables are all very long which allows placement of speakers simple!
Some nice features of this system include the:
*4 nice large satellites with 3inch full range drivers which produce 20 watts.
*4 inch woofer which pounds out a nice 20 watts.
*Surround sound and volume adjustment available on the front right speaker.
While these may not seem like the most powerful system ever, you must remember that they are made for the gamer, and they will easily out do any other speakers made especially for games, although for music they will not keep up with speakers that cost over twice as much.
Much recommended for the gaming psycho or the mp3 music buff! However if i was to purchase at this point of time i would spend the extra few dollars to get the new ACS 56 which will give you more power and bass, but this is not necessary if you only play games, as these are absolutely perfect for that!
