Update - December 26th 2001

Just a note. if you mount these in your jeep or other vehicle like I did. the Din style plug that goes to the fromt left speaker with the controls. It tends to work loose over time. I had my speakers stop...

Pros: Price, quality, and appearance
Cons: Power button is kind of hard to get to.

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...

Pros: Inexpensive, High quality, great sound, surround sound with good Bass
Cons: No real cons

I purchased my own computer 1 1/2 years ago, and at that time I didn't know much about 3D sound cards, 3D speakers, or anything. But I slowly became more advanced in computer use and knowledge. I began to realize that the on-board sound card and $12...

Pros: Surround sound, inexpensive, Compact.
Cons: Only comes in black

The walls in my dorm room were vibrating, the change on my dresser was bouncing, and the structural integrity of my window was about to be compromised . . . my neighbors were blasting their music for both the east and west coast to hear. I had to do...

Pros: surround sound, cheap, good quality
Cons: a bit of "carpet" noise

This set of speakers typically costs around $80. I bought mine for around $55 at buy.com, which offers huge discounts on all speakers, so go there first. The size of the satellite speakers is of course a plus; they're small, unobtrusive, and...

Pros: Nice bass and powerful crisp sound
Cons: No bass control

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...

Pros: Great sound, small, can go very loud
Cons: Bass is a bit "Boomy/Hollow", no headphone jack

Before I bought these speakers I had a pair of crappy generic speakers that come with most new computers. They are ok for simplistic sounds, but when you want to play music, games or DVD at a good quality, then they really don't do the trick.

Pros: Right price, crisp sound, deep bass...YEAH baby!
Cons: Can't use 'em for a house party without some distortion.

More and more these days, people are turning to their PC’s for listening to and managing their music. With the advent of MP3’s and the price of hard drives falling like David Carusso’s career post NYPD Blue, using your computer as your home...

Pros: Relatively inexpensive; easy setup; small satellites.
Cons: Some distortion at higher volume.

Installation of this system is simple - the cables on the individual sats are color coded to match the inputs on the subwoofer. However, two of the colors are orange and gold, which they make look very similar - I was able to tell the difference between...

Pros: The ultimate bang for the buck speaker system
Cons: Would be nice to have a higher power output.

I've owned these speakers for roughly one year. I have not been disappointed at all over the quality of the sound they produce. Before I bought the ACS54 system, I owned the generic Altec-Lansing two-speaker/subwoofer system that came with my Dell...

Pros: Good sound, compact speakers.
Cons: A little expensive when I bought them.

Sound:
______________

These speakers put out great sound. I bought these speakers in April 2000, I paid quite a bit of money for them 149.99 Canadian or about 99$ US. The sub-woofer is 20 watt and is well sealed. This sub is only 4...

Pros: Affordable, Small.
Cons: No digital input, cords too short for me

I went to a store (I forgot which one) looking for Altec Lansing ACS56s. I was tired of listening to crappy audio from my computer's built in speaker, and my headphones were getting uncomfortable. I knew I wanted the ACS56s because they had digital...

Pros: Good sound, easy, a step up from tinny "computer speakers", nice footrest
Cons: Lack of sophisticated controls

For the price, the Altec ACS54 is quite a fine set of speakers. Consisting of a subwoofer and four satellite speakers, it can put out more than enough pretty good quality sound for most any purpose.

Price: I got the set for $50 after...
