Yes
The Bottom Line:
If you want a modest, good sounding desktop speaker system, look no further.
Altec Lansing VS2220 speakers are in a word : "fine".
I chose a two speaker system over a subwoofer + satellite because of my specific needs. I installed an LCD monitor over my bed's headboard so I could use my computer while lying flat. The monitor's built in speakers were tinny and annoying, so I was compelled to find an alternative.
After comparing models and features, I settled on the Altec Lansing model for their frequency response and compact size as well as their modest price.
Though the speakers are designed for desktop use, I was pleasantly surprised with the sonic imagery with headboard placement.
A short test of audio material impressed me that these speakers are good value. I was able to hear nuances and details I usually miss. The ported enclosures pump out a modest amount of bass, and for music and TV sound, they are superb.
The powered speakers feature on/off volume and tone control. The power on LED is blue and unobtrusive. The speakers are hardwired together, so any installation that requires displacement beyond the wire length is not possible without cutting and splicing. The power cord extends from the left speaker, while the color coded audio input cable extends from the right speaker.
