Altec Lansing ATP3W 2 Speakers

Pros: Excellent sound. Subwoofer is tight and clean. Easy setup. Low cost.
Cons: Only a single input.

These speakers are great! I did a lot of research into speakers and was willing to purchase $100+ speakers for the right sound. I was a little worried about spending less than $60 for speakers, but from all the reviews I found, these speakers were as...

Pros: Great sound, small, great controls, and cheap for what you are getting
Cons: other then only having one color, none

I have been using my old speakers that came with my old Dell computer which I bought in 1999. After hearing a lot of distortion and not getting high quality sound, I decided to purchase speakers. I went to Circuit City and using there open display...

Pros: Sleek Design, speakers are very compact, nice sound
Cons: No headphone jack, sub is rather large

I bought these speakers to go along with a new HP computer i purchased about a month ago. It comes with speakers already, but i knew that they weren't a great pair. I decided to get the ATP3's because many people suggested them, and Altec Lansing has a...

Pros: Amazing sound, better than the more expensive systems.
Cons: No headphone jack.

These speakers are better than those more complex and more expensive systems. I had a gift card for way more than these cost but still wanted these. The full sound is amazing. I was surprised just how much better these 3 speakers were than the larger...

Pros: Great, rich sound
Cons: Placing sub-woofer difficult in cramped office

I'll be honest and say that for me speakers are used in conjunction with my computer not to listen to music, but to play games. I am not a stereophile, nor do I play one on TV, so I can't tell you about all the wavelength specs and such for this speaker...

Pros: Rich lows and crisp highs. Very stylish design. Great performance at a very reasonable price.
Cons: More wires to add to the tangle behind the PC. No headphone jack.

Computer speakers have come as far along in the last 10 years as any other component in the typical PC, so when I stumbled across the ATP3 system, I figured it was about time to upgrade. I don't play games on my PC, nor do I routinely watch movies, but ...

Pros: Look awesome! Sound awesome! Don't take up much space.
Cons: The volume knob is kind of hard to turn.

I researched speakers for about 4 weeks and after reading all the rave reviews about these speakers, I decided to check them out. I went to a local CompUSA where they had them on display with other speakers and compared them myself to other speakers in...

Pros: Beautiful Quality, Excellent Look, Rich, Full, Vibrant Sound
Cons: Cords could be longer

Altec Lansing is a brand name that I've grown to love. The ATP3 speakers I ordered looked simply appealing. I generally never tend to judge a book by its cover, but these speakers emit a rich, full and bass filled sound that shakes and rattles my office....

Pros: Great sound for the price
Cons: Haven't thought of any yet

Was doing a lot of MP3 work lately and had my old Generic Stereo pair cranked up a bit. They're large 2-way units that are now about 5 years old and I noticed a bit of a crackle out of one of them so I decided it was time to upgrade.

Pros: Beyond the cube styling, good sound for the price, convenient bass and treble controls
Cons: A little over-dominant on the bass, could be crisper, no headphone jack

Note: This is a relocation of a review posted (long) before Epinions added the Altec Lansing ATP-3 to the database. Originally published June 18, 2000. -BI

Not surprisingly, speakers were the first computer accessory to break the beige...

Pros: Good sound with deep bass.
Cons: Could be pricey for consumers who just want to hear sound.

Boom! A bomb has detonated in the elevator in the movie speed. I nearly have jumped out of my seat for I have set the volume too high. Altec Lansing’s 3 piece speaker set have impressed me. The 3 piece speaker is Bose at over ten times cheaper. Yet...

Pros: Great sound from these three speakers.
Cons: The highs get distorted if too loud.

I like these speakers a lot. The sound is really great coming from 3 speakers. I have hear 5 speaker sound systems that don't even come close to this. The 2 tower speakers give off great highs. The bass and treble are adjustable and the adjust knobs are...

Pros: Great sound quality and bass
Cons: No headphone input

I picked up my speakers at a local electronics store because they sounded the best of all the speakers I had tested and they weren't quite as expensive as some of the others either.

Upon getting them home I was one happy camper.

Pros: Treble and Bass control
Cons: No headphone jack

The Altec Lansing ATP 3 speaker system is probably the best set-up in its price range. The satellites provide nice, clean sound while the sub provides adequate thump. I am somewhat disappointed with the downward facing drivers on the satellites....

Pros: Clear sound; Full if not foundation-shaking bass; Relatively inexpensive
Cons: Hiss at high treble; Bass could be deeper

Just wanted to put my 2 cents in here: some of these reviews are quite old. This system can now be had for around $50 new, which makes it a lot more attractive. And there is also a white version out now--just check pricegrabber.com.
