Bought these against mag recommendation and not disappointed so far. Good sound, deep bass - caused the neighbours some shocks! People are surprised at the sound from such small speakers (though the woofer is much bulkier.)
The only drawback is that I thought they came with a USB connection, but it's just phono, so you have to provide a cable or use the PC/MP3 player auxiliary/headphone socket.

Ordered on friday arrived sat lunchtime,and what a set of speakers they are.First of all they look great,the original design of the two satelites,give them a unique,classy and expensive look,conveniently there are sepearate controls for treble, bass,and volume, and also an aux in socket for mp3 players ect, on the right speaker.The subwoofer is quite large but can be hidden away under the desk(mine is anyway).
Now about that subwoofer...Yes it is very powerful,and the bass can overpower and drown out the mid range when listening to music,but the secret is in the graphic equaliser in your chosen media player,or in the sound settings of your sound card.All i have done is to turn the bass right down on the graphic equaliser and disabled bass boost in my media player,then turned down the system volume to half via the task bar volume icon on my desktop.I found this made the bass more managable. After a bit of tweaking with the aformentioned controls on the right speaker i arrived at a sound i liked.
And the result....Simply Stunning,the bass is deep rich and full,and the mid range is crisp and vocals come through clear,i havent heard a better 2.1 system, it has a realy immersive sound,which comes into its own when watching movies,i tested Terminator 2,one word ..Awesome.
All in all a quality system at a budget price,highly reccomended.

I read lots of reviews and thought these were the best balance for sound and price. They are great and very easy to set up and use. There is a lead that plugs straight into an MP3 player, think it's called an AUX lead. The sound is great and can fill a room - I was at my parents house and never dared turn it right up though!
My only concern is, but it may be the electricity supply at the house where they are being used, is that there was some interference or surge in electricity or something, they buzz occasionally when in the wrong place. The noise settles once music is going and everything is still but it's a bit odd and hard to pin point. I don't know if it's the amp as it's a bit like when you're at a disco/wedding and the mic/amp surges or squeals and hurts peoples' ears though this isn't as loud - anyway I've not complained as I don't know why it's happening. It's either the elec supply or the amp. I fear it may be the latter though, it's not everytime and it's relatively easy to calm down so they are still a good buy in my opinion.
The amp is quite big so hard to conceal but the small speakers are easy to hide, though the leads to them aren't terribly long but sure you can get bigger ones. They are fine for me. Hope this helps any dilemmas. Be interesting to see if anyone else has the same surging problem, it seemed not when I read the reviews so it may just be me. Good luck!

Altec Lansing VS4621 2.1 - good product
Decent speakers for a laptop or MP3 Player. The subwoofer is heavy enough to handle loud bass. The finition is good as expected with Altec Lansing and the general design is great. Read more
