aebuell says "A great deal on these speakers" about Altec Lansing - AVS300

I have had these Altec Lansing speakers for a couple of years now and they are still holding up strong and I've got no complaints whatsoever. They are a good, decent quality product at a truly reasonable price. I have to say they produce a truly excellent sound. I would have to say that their sound quality is quite comparable to many larger and more expensive speakers that I've used. The subwoofer that comes with the set is really exceptional. The set look sgood and doesn't take up a ton of space on your desktop.

The downside is that this is a basic set of computer speakers that doesn't have all of the features you would find on a higher-end set. For me, I'd have to say the biggest issue is the lack of treble and bass controls. Also, there's no port to plug in your headphones.

Overall, I would say that this is really a bargain product. I have bought other products from Altec as well and have nothing but good things to say about them.

This particular model of Altec-Lansing computer speakers probably isn't made anymore. I've had them for a number of years & models change. However - the name to remember is Altec-Lansing. I found these speakers years ago at Sam's Club. They were inexpensive (under $40 I think) and definitely a step up from the O.E. speakers from Gateway.

Like most things, they have both good & bad points. The good: Booming sound, especially the bass from such a small size. The bad: Only one control for bass & treble instead of separate controls. The good: Small size...the two smaller satellite speakers are 4" by 4" square on the bottom and maybe 5" tall. The system's sub-woofer really rocks. At 5.25 inches, the sub driver is substantially bigger than comparably priced units, and its 11-by-7-by-6-inch cabinet is nearly as big as models priced much higher. The bad: No headphone jack. Unless your PC comes with a headphone jack on a front port, as many of today's newer models do, you'll...
