Pros Incredible sound, deep & rich bass
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

Three summers ago, I was preparing to start college at Georgia Tech. I was all set -- and then sometime in August, I received something in the mail about their new Student Computer Ownership Initiative. I'll explain more about that in subsequent reviews, but suffice it to say for the time being... Read full review »

Pros Very Powerful
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

"knock knock... can you turn down your stereo??" I get that a lot with Altec's ACS48 speakers and the powerful 40W sub. It is a perfect speaker system for your home pc to perform mp3s or watch dvds or vcds. You do not want to spend too much money on the computer speakers, because you don't really...

Pros Very Powerful Speakers With Little Distortion At High Volumes
Cons Volume Controls Not Placed Well
Recommended it? Yes

These speakers are the first valuable investment that I put into my computer. I do not have a whole lot of money, but I still wanted great sound from my computer because that is what I usually use it for.

Summary

These speakers are very cheap and compare with some of the best... Read full review »

The Power Monsters Plus

11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Super powerful, floor shaking solid sound. Attractive, long cords and good price.
Cons Not in production anymore.
Recommended it? Yes

GENERAL:
These are the power monsters of the out of date speaker systems. I presently own a set of the ACS46, 2 ACS340s, Logitech Z-340 and the Yamaha 201s as well as 2 sets of these beautiful beasts. The ACS48 80watts of RMS sound can flat out power all of them. These will also give many home... Read full review »

Pros Very good sound, affordable, easy set up.
Cons None to speak of.
Recommended it? Yes

As a long time computer user, like many of us, I have owned a million different PC loudspeakers. From the really nasty $2 per pair things (can't really call them speakers) that merely make noise so you can tell where they are in the dark, to high-end PC speakers from Harman-Kardon.

Since I... Read full review »

what a great set of speakers

bymike304 Mar 14, 2000
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros incredible sound
Cons not good highs
Recommended it? Yes

I can't begin to say how much I love these speakers. I have a lot of MP3's on my system and sometimes instead of listening to my main system I'll just open u[ winamp and take in the sound from my great computer speakers. The bass these speakers put out is unreal for a computer system. If you have a... Read full review »

Great Sound In An Inexpensive Package

bymikah Oct 27, 1999
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Simple, high quality sound, great high-frequency reproduction
Cons no headphone jack, no treble or bass controls, boring design
Recommended it? Yes

The standout feature of the Altec-Lansing ACS48 system is the two-way satellite speaker design. This is the main reason to buy these speakers over most other $100.00 speakers sets. The speakers feature a separate tweeter and midrange driver in the satellite, as opposed to the standard single-cone... Read full review »

Inferior Product!!

byAero246 May 24, 2000
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros To the untrained ear they sound great at low volumes
Cons For serious music lovers, you just wasted $150
Recommended it? No

I can honestly say that I am thoroughly displeased, not only with the ACS48's themselves but with Altec. I am currently on my second set of ACS48's. My buddy blew up my first set when a song started with a hard bass hit. The volume was only up about halfway also. Needless to say I was kind of upset... Read full review »

Convert your computer to your home stereo system

9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Small and powerful, energizes your MP3's, good value for your buck
Cons Lacks in aesthetics of design
Recommended it? Yes

This is the perfect low end way to get the advantage of great sound from your computer. For the relatively inexpensive cost ($160) these speakers bring MP3's alive and quickly transform your computer to the perfect jukebox suited to your taste.

Of course if you are buying these, you... Read full review »

Pros great subwoofer
Cons the two mini speakers kinda suck
Recommended it? Yes

I am uncertain if all Altec Lansing Speaker are like this, but the speaker are always on and when I turn my monitor on, it make a slight ?boom? sound. The subwoofer is excellent but heavy ( then again its not like I move it anywhere). The mini speakers also emit an annoying static noise whether I... Read full review »
