Altec Lansing Speaker System

Pros: spacey looking design, sounds decent at low volumes
Cons: terrible treble, sound has gone mono

Pros: Cheap, dependable
Cons: None so far

My home theater stereo is a Pioneer Elite. I have a Velodyne subwoofer and 2 very expensive Polk Audio front speakers. My wife thinks the 2100's sound better. Sometimes I think she is right, but it is hard for me to admit that something that cost $99 could come that close to a home theater that is close to $15,000
