The Altec Lansing speakers do an excellent job of immersing you in a surround sound environment. SOUND: How does it sound? Bear in mind, this is a small system. The overall build quality seems excellent. The speaker grille is a hard mesh that allows 180 degree output. The left/right speakers are made of a solid matte plastic that does not retain fingerprints, and the conical shape gives them a steady base that is unlikely to tip over. The subwoofer itself also has a power button the two power buttons seem redundant, but it’s convenient to have an extra power button within easy reach on the left speaker. The volume/treble/bass knobs have a small, almost invisible ridge indicating dial position. The left speaker is the main control unit, which houses a sub-woofer cable connection, a main volume control button with power on/off light, separate treble/bass control knobs, and an auxiliary input. It’s a clean, compact design, which fits well on my small desk. The speakers each have a vertical tower upper portion, which flares downwards into a circular conical shaped bottom which houses various speaker drivers. OVERALL DESIGN: I was immediately impressed by the slender design of the left and right speakers. There is no instruction manual the instructions are printed directly on the box flap, so don’t throw that box away!

PACKAGING: The system comes in a lightweight ~ 27.5-lb box, with a subwoofer, left and right speaker towers, a warranty booklet, and all cables necessary for setup.

With the monster subwoofer pushing serious bass and the midrange drivers flooding the room with warm sound, this is a small system that delivers enormous sound. A sharp, compact design lets this astonishing system fit in easily with your style. Unique down-firing midrange drivers hidden inside each satellite speaker blast waves which reflect from a hard surface, sending sound rocketing in all directions. A lot more than meets the eye, this versatile system is packing seven custom-designed drivers.
