| User Reviews |  | These speakers have never disappointed!
rating: 5
First off, let me say that these speakers and subwoofer are used with my CD player as a sound system in the kitchen. I can't speak for their use with a computer as I've never tried them. I have used them constantly for several years now, and I love the sound quality. Sound is a personal preference for many, but for my ears the bass is rich and adjustable, the vocals crisp, and the overall sound quality excellent. I have no complaints other than the minor complaint that the speakers tend to slip around because the cords are underneath them, and they are lightweight and don't have rubber feet.
For the price (less than $26), I don't know how you can do much better.
I have now had the opportunity to compare them with the Altec Lansing InMotion ImPlus Speaker System designed for IPods at $149 retail (though I purchased it for $60), and I am so disappointed with the InMotion ImPlus.
If portability is not a major concern, consider the Altec Lansing AVS300 if you can find it. Love the separate subwoofer, love the power(with added volume from CD player) and love the sound!

great for the price, but watch out!
rating: 4
Not full range, but rich in the range it has, this system is damn good for the money. My only advice is to watch out, as one short tumble of the right speaker killed my whole system. since i got it for 40 bucks and used it a year, it's okay, but wanna warn others. Also, beware of 5 piece gaming system by AL in same price range, horrible!! couldn't believe it was the same manufacuterer. REPEAT this product good buy but fragile, 5 piece system in this price range sucks.

Shot in less than six months
rating: 2
OK, these are cheap good sounding speakers.
But less than six months into my purchase, one of the speakers has a short.
So, it's a total loss.
Be careful -- you get what you pay for.

Good speakers at a low price
rating: 4
I am an audiophile with limited funds, so I have to figure out how to get good sound for a low price. When I finally realized good computer audio is within my price range, I decided to throw out my 2 HP/Polkaudio speakers, and find some good speakers, and especially a sub to make the most out of my games and music. Well, at the time, I only had twenty bucks to spend. So I went all over town looking for a decent 2.1 system in my price range. Well low and behold Sams is having a special on Altec Lansing's 2.1 system for half it's normal price. So knowing Altec Lansing's reputation, I grabbed them. Well trust me, they are great. With a decent sound card, they are crisp, clean, and have the sub has pleanty of bass for a 5.25 driver with only 10 watts. They go pretty loud before destortion kicks in, but at loud volumes and high bass audio, the sub quiets, and then reloudens when the bass tones down. That's probably the worse thing about this system. As far as tone controls, I think all sound card software, and windows has built in equalizer. My integrated 5.1 sound card on my new comp has software with a 10 band EQ, so who needs them on the speakers? Another bad thing about these speakers is that they dont have any rubber feet, so they slide around on your desk when you pull a wire or adjust the volume. All in all, a good buy for the price if you want a COMPUTER SYSTEM. If this is where you watch DVDs and play music from all the time, get something better. But for those of us on a budget, and have real external stereos, these are great.Also, I plugged mine into the srge protector my comp is on, so when I turn it off, it turns off the speakers, and there is no hiss. I don't what the other people are doing wrong. Good Luck!

Excellent value speakers
rating: 5
I bought these speakers to finally give my drab 2-speaker tin can-sound the boot and get some real power. Now the AVS300 is considered a starter 3-piece system, but what a starter system it sure is! I watched Top Gun and the jet sounds were rumbling all over the living room, and when I played Starcraft and a siege tank blew something up, my nephew upstairs thought there was a tremor. For starters, this is one of the more costly models, but I'm not regretting the purchase. It's an awesome system and I still love it.
