Good Starter Set

byklgarner Jan 17, 2000
27 Helpfuls 28 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Nice sound quality for the money
Cons Subwoofer vibrates excessively, cover not durable
Recommended it? Yes

I've owned the Altec Lansing 45.1 speakers/subwoofer set for about a year now. This is the first time I've owned a subwoofer, and for the most part I am very pleased with the speaker quality and sound, for the price I paid. While I bought it as part of a computer package from Cybermax, I think I... Read full review »

This musician's primary stereo speakers.

Pros Not only a great computer speaker system, very pleasing for audio CD playback.
Cons Always powers up in "on" state (adjustments in right satellite unit are...
Recommended it? Yes

I'm a bass player by trade, and the primary job of these computer speakers is to play my audio CDs. They have a frequency response of 35Hz (pretty close to the rumble of a 5-string bass' low B string) all the way up to 20kHz (and yeah, even after years of standing on the hi-hat side of a drummer, I...

Pros Affordable 3-piece speaker set with great speakers and a subwoofer
Cons None, I love it!
Recommended it? Yes

Just leave it to Altec Lansing to provide some of the best audio equipment around! The ACS 45.2W POWERCUBE Three-Piece Speaker System features an earth-shakin, ground-breakin 20-watt wooden subwoofer for maximum bass power! The speaker set also comes with two 6-watt satellite speakers. Despite... Read full review »

A BOSE BEATER

Pros great value,great sound
Cons Bass adjustments are on the underside of the subwoofer
Recommended it? Yes

I've owned these speakers for quite a while and they are awesome! I've looked at a lot of Bose speakers and they just don't have the same bang for the buck. These can actually be turned ALL THE WAY UP without distortion. I purchased these for my computer, but hooked them up to a portable cd player... Read full review »

Great Sound on a PC

byChip89 Feb 19, 2000
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 3 Comments
Pros Sound quality, compact size & price
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

I had replaced my factory PC speakers (JBL Pro) with a pair of Yamaha's not long after I bought my Compaq Presario. A few months ago, the Yamaha's went out on me. I listen to a lot of music on my PC & sound quality is very important. Having to use the JBL's again wasn't going to cut it for very... Read full review »

Depends on how picky you are about sound

bymarcman Mar 25, 2001

Pros Inexpensive, decent sound for games and music, excellent value, powerful bass.
Cons Noisy, bass is sloppy, auto power on/off makes annoying "pops" and...
Recommended it? Yes

Whether or not I would recommend these speakers to you depends on what you're looking for and how critical you are of sound quality. If you're an average joe, you'll probably be quite happy with these. If you're an audiophile or you already own nice speakers, you'll probably be somewhat... Read full review »

Pros Sound - power - price
Cons ?
Recommended it? Yes

I have been upgrading my main home system for a long time now. So far I upped the CD to a DVD, video card, sound card, memory, hard drive, and on, and on, and on. Any thing my wonderful wife will let me get, I do. As soon as the green flag drops I am off to the store.

For a long time now... Read full review »

Great Computer Speakers

8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Great Sound, Easy to Use, Relatively Inexpensive
Cons Cable Clutter common with all multi-piece speakers
Recommended it? Yes

This product really works well with my computer system. It provides an excellent frequency response range and can go to relatively high volumes with little distortion. The digital control on the top of one of speaker is reasonably convenient. As with all multiple piece speaker systems, the user... Read full review »

Awesome Sound in a Small Package

8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros location of controls,super sound
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

There is no doubt in my mind the AltecLansing ACS45 speaker system is the best sounding computer subwoofer set. Dollar for dollar it is hard to fine such a rich sounding setup. For $79.95 at OfficeMax this system offers great frequency response. While there are more expensive systems out there,... Read full review »

Great Value for the Price

Pros great sound, low price
Cons mids could be a little better
Recommended it? Yes

I picked up a set of these last spring for my computer, and I've loved them. I listen to a lot of music on my computer (since I'm too cheap to buy a separate stereo), and I play a fair amount of video games, and they've treated me really well.

They have clear sound that fills my meager... Read full review »
