Introduction
Altec Lansing has been around for a long time. Back when most computer speakers were small, cheap things in plastic boxes, Altec was making the highest-quality speakers for their time. Now, with computer sound being taken seriously by manufacturers,
Altec Lansing hits again with an excellent set of speakers, at a very good value.
Installation
The subwoofer is HUGE. It's about the size of my case (actual measurements are 12" deep, 14" wide, 8" high). I put it on the floor underneath the table. A power cord goes from the subwoofer to the wall (the DC converter is inside the subwoofer, so there's no "wall warts" to deal with).
A big fat cable goes from the right speaker to the subwoofer, and a thin wire goes from the left speaker to the right speaker. The subwoofer has two inputs, so you can have two devices sending their output over without needing to go through the line in on your soundcard.
Features
This $120 (approximate retail) speaker system has some big watt ratings. Check this stuff out:
