Altec Lansing ACS 45.2 2 Speakers

Pros: Good sound quality, very good bass from subwoofer, small satellite speakers
Cons: Awkward power and volume control, minimal sound adjustments, little features.

The Altec 45.2 is one of the lower-prices 3-piece speaker systems, yet they sound very good for their price. I regularly listen to music with them while working.

SETUP: The system comes with a diagram showing how to connect the various...

Pros: Ok sound quality, Ok bass, Small simple design, Decent price
Cons: Only ok in most categories, Terrible features

The ACS 45.2's come from the excellent Altec Lansing line of computer speakers (oh ACS 48, oh ACS 48, oh what a set of speakers) and they hold their own as an effective representative of their brand within the $50 price range.

...

Pros: High quality, full sound, attractive housing
Cons: Quirky power-up feature

I'm a glutton for good sound.

I bought these speakers because the factory set that came with my system just weren't cutting it, especially after downloading Napster and turning my machine into a virtual jukebox. After testing out several...

Pros: Price, BASS!, Imaging, Bass level dial +/-
Cons: Roomates telling you to turn it down

I received this speaker set for Christmas last year. I wanted the ACS48 but I was happy with what I got. After hooking this bad boy up and playing it with most of my pc games, I knew there was only one thing missing. A sound card equal to the clarity and...

Pros: inexpensive; LOUD; good quality; crisp!
Cons: Honestly cant think of any

Hi There,
Well it was about October when I moved from Ontario to Oklahoma, and I flew in so that meant that my DJ'ing Sound Equip had to stay behind, including speakers, well I was here for about 6 months and listening to music on my computer...

Pros: Great sound for a great price, easy to hook up
Cons: could use treble control

That was the first thing out of my friend's mouth when the credits for Duke Nukem started. He was standing about 5 feet from the computer when this happened, and that's why I know I have a great speaker system on my computer. I purchased the Altec...

Pros: Great sound, low price
Cons: Umm...no.

I have always been a big fan of Altec Lansing equipment, and after my most recent purchase, that view has not changed. I recently bought the ACS45.2(Ya, I had to look up the product number.) and this product was well worth its low cost. This setup...

Pros: Bass Power, small satellites
Cons: Subwoofer switch is on the very bottom-back of the subwoofer

After much debate and reading many reviews on EPINIONS.COM, I finally decided to purchase this speaker set. ACS 45.2.

I stayed at Best Buy and listened to many different speaker sets, and decided I liked these. WARNING: When you listen to any...

Pros: Big Bass, great sounding, and affordable
Cons: none

These speakers from altec are some of the best speakers for a computer besides the ones that cost over $200. I got these in August of '99, and these are awesome! There are 2 highs for treble, and then the subwoofer. The power the sub puts out is...

Pros: Good sound, nice price
Cons: Would be much nicer if handled 30hz

The AC45.2 is certainly not the best out there but it if you include its price it is definitely quite up there. For 79.95 these speakers pack a punch, and I have definitely tested them. The sound carries quite well and the sub handles some decent...

Pros: great sound for the price
Cons: wires could be longer

I purchased my Altec speakers in September of 99' instead of purchasing a stereo system. Living in a college dorm, I don't have a ton of room for all the electronic equipment I wish I could have. Getting some high quality speakers that could connect to...

Pros: Good sound for the money
Cons: Unreliable, poor operation and warranty

When these speakers work, they put out nice sound. Unfortunately, you can't depend on them to work reliably long-term. Plus, the volume control arrangement is awkward at best, and generally frustrating in day-to-day use. I've now replaced my defective...

Pros: Great sound
Cons: Interface not intuitive and useful as it could be

I bought these speakers from Walmart after listening to a selection of music and game sounds through 6 sets of speakers. One other set sounded slightly better, but cost twice as much, so I went with this set.

There's not much to say about...

Pros: Good sound for the price
Cons: Short Lifespan

My wife bought me first ACs45.2 as a Christmas present;....croaked in aprx
6-7 months. Had to pay $26 for shipping to Altec in Mich (they do weigh a few lbs), and now AGAIN, after aprx the same amount of time...the replacement speaker set went out....

Pros: Great Sound, Huge Bass
Cons: none

I don't get why everyone is spending so much money on computer speakers. I mean, computers are just an expensive toy when it comes down to listening to things. You could buy a great stereo system that plays mp3's, burns cd's, and sounds amazing. So...
