Pros: Great and Full Sound In General, Good Value
Cons: Some Problems With Deep Bass Sounds
The Altec Lansing ACS48, a package including two speakers, a subwoofer, and all the nessicery cable is a very good product. You can install this product by simply taking the two speakers out of the box, plugging them in to the subwoofer, plugging the...

Pros: Awesome sound, good price, amazing clarity
Cons: none
I did my due diligence and it turns out it paid off. When I got these and plugged them in I was blown away, literaly. These are the most powerful little buggers you have ever heard. Total they put out 80 watts. 20 each from the speakers and 40 from...

Pros: Stated excellent sound
Cons: Unacceptable sound
I bought this unit as an upgrade after using and liking an Altec Lansing ACS44 unit. The sound was always disappointing. There was always an underlying crackling sound (kind of like bacon frying) that initially made me think that the connection to my...

Pros: Great Price, Great components
Cons: Doesn't have 4 speaker surround
Altec 48's aren't the latest and greatest thing on the market anymore, but they're still the #1 speaker on my desk. I can't say anything bad about them. They've consistantly put out great sound for the last 3 years that I've had them, and haven't given...

Pros: Sounds amazing.. Woofer puts out the bass!
Cons: NONE!
I only paid a little less than 100 bucks for these.. and they sound wonderful! I've had them for almost 2 years.. and they still sound great. You can't beat these speakers for the price.. no kidding.
When I first hooked these up.. I was amazed...

Pros: Very Powerful Speakers With Little Distortion At High Volumes
Cons: Volume Controls Not Placed Well
These speakers are the first valuable investment that I put into my computer. I do not have a whole lot of money, but I still wanted great sound from my computer because that is what I usually use it for.
Summary
These...

Pros: To the untrained ear they sound great at low volumes
Cons: For serious music lovers, you just wasted $150
I can honestly say that I am thoroughly displeased, not only with the ACS48's themselves but with Altec. I am currently on my second set of ACS48's. My buddy blew up my first set when a song started with a hard bass hit. The volume was only up about...

Pros: Excellent sound at an exceptional price
Cons: Digital volume control may disappoint some users
The ACS-48's can often be found for around $100 and are well worth it. The bass is outstanding and the satellites produce very clear and rich sound.
The bass has control for the amount of bass produced while the right satellite speaker has...

Pros: Small and powerful, energizes your MP3's, good value for your buck
Cons: Lacks in aesthetics of design
This is the perfect low end way to get the advantage of great sound from your computer. For the relatively inexpensive cost ($160) these speakers bring MP3's alive and quickly transform your computer to the perfect jukebox suited to your taste.

Pros: Great balance and power at a nice price.
Cons: Button volume control, no headphone jack, classical music slightly lacking
I don't have a lot of money, but I figured it was about time to upgrade from my old, tinny Koss HD/6's from 1992. My roommate and I researched for a couple of weeks when we had the time, and we finally decided on the ACS-48's. When I hastily removed...

Pros: Very Powerful
Cons: None
"knock knock... can you turn down your stereo??" I get that a lot with Altec's ACS48 speakers and the powerful 40W sub. It is a perfect speaker system for your home pc to perform mp3s or watch dvds or vcds. You do not want to spend...

Pros: incredible sound
Cons: not good highs
I can't begin to say how much I love these speakers. I have a lot of MP3's on my system and sometimes instead of listening to my main system I'll just open u[ winamp and take in the sound from my great computer speakers. The bass these speakers put out...

Pros: price, sound quality, VOLUME!
Cons: sub volume knob is in an in-convenient place
I got my ACS48 almost two years ago and I have been nothing but pleased with them. They are the most powerful speaker in the "three speaker" category that Altec Lansing makes. They put 20 Watts per channel and and 40 watts to the Subwofer!...

Pros: great subwoofer
Cons: the two mini speakers kinda suck
I am uncertain if all Altec Lansing Speaker are like this, but the speaker are always on and when I turn my monitor on, it make a slight ‘boom’ sound. The subwoofer is excellent but heavy ( then again its not like I move it anywhere). The mini speakers...

Pros: Great Sound, Small Footprint, Inexpensive
Cons: no headphone jack in speaker
I have owned these speakers for going on 2 years now and they are fantastic. The subwoofer sound is full and deep, and seems to come from the two main speakers.
People who don't know about the subwoofer (it is tucked away on the floor) ask me...
