What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Altec Lansing VS4121 2.1 Computer Speaker System

Pretty good-sized sub woofer that has good bass.
Like it or not, speakers size is directly proportional to their ability to move air and generate midbass frequencies. Recommend.
Surprisingly loud for their size and they sound great.
I am really pleased with the performance, size and value.
The thing that impresses me about these AL2.1's is their small size and their heavy gauge wires.

Altec Lansing VS4621 Octane 7, 2.1 Computer Speaker

The bass is deep, actually surprisingly deep for the size of it.
I like low bass and the 4621 sounded amazing for its size.
The sub is about the size of a foot stool. I like this size.
The subwoofer hefty in size and sounds great. Recommend.
Speakers are great for a small sized room and even for a medium sized room they can really put out.

What customers say about "Audio"

Altec Lansing VS4121 2.1 Computer Speaker System

The VS4121 sounded cleaner and and more balanced than other old speakers.
It was a great sounding set of speakers. These did suffer from "mid-drop" but it can be mitigated with EQ.
The sound is great. The bass is unbelievably good, deep and loud.
The sound, the controls, the look, all excellent.
No mid-range is an issue, with the hum and some noise.

Altec Lansing VS4621 Octane 7, 2.1 Computer Speaker

That's 13 years. They lasted THAT long and pushed great sound up until the moment they died.
They sound amazing! I can crank up my audio wide open and push as much to them as I want.
I can't get them to distort in the least. They have amazing sound!
They are clear and don't sound too tinny. If you like to listen to music and not blast it these serve their purpose nicely.
In terms of sound quality, these are easily the poorest mini-speakers I've ever heard.

What customers say about "Features"

Altec Lansing VS4121 2.1 Computer Speaker System

They arrived and I was incredibly impressed with their design.
The wiring is ingenious (and unobtrusive) and the controls are within easy reach.
They looked FANTASTIC next to my flat panel and small Shuttle cube.
The bass can be quite overpowering, but that can be adjusted by changing the bass and treble settings on the speaker.
I constantly found myself reaching for the controls trying to tone down the aggressive bass and the PIERCING tweeters, all to no avail.

Altec Lansing VS4621 Octane 7, 2.1 Computer Speaker

It comes with a more advanced DTS audio controls which has an enhanced feature that enhances the bass, treble.
This usually comes defaults to a smaller cheaper set of PC speakers to increase the quality.
If you simply lower the bass adjustment so its not pushing out extra bass and treble, the sound is awesome.
The sweet spot that gives me the best sound is to have the treble all the way up, cool feature.
The only problem I have is that there is bass and treble volume control but it's no working.
