Altec Lansing

Hi everyone. Can anyone tell me which is better among down firing subwoofer and front firing subwoofer. Which will shake the ground. For example altec lansing atp3 has downfiring sub whereas altec lansing vs4121 has front firing sub. So, which is better. And what is the difference between long...

Hi, Iam confused as to which speakers to buy among altec lansing vs4121 and mx5021. Which has ground shaking bass. Iam going to buy used ones since they are not manufactured anymore.

Before he died, my uncle bought my parents a Dell Altec Lansing ADA995 5.1 Speaker System to use with their computer. My folks are in their 80s and don’t use them, so to honor my uncle I would like to try to use them with my Samsung LN32D450 television and Sony Blu-Ray disk player Model S3200...

No idea what they are worth. Here's a picture.

My old, probably 20 year old, 2:1 PC speaker system with powered subwoofer has finally stopped working. The one satellite speaker went out for the third time and my repairs could not bring it back to life. My question is about using the subwoofer for my entertainment system. My receiver has...

Do i need a soundcard or what? Why does it work in windows test and not when...

Hello, so i got this used Altec lansing 621 speaker system, and one of the satellite was broken, so instead I connected a pair of 2 way sony ss scl3 Hi-fi's (full range), now there are differences between the originals, one of which is that Altec satellites where 4 Ohm and Sonys are 6 Ohm, and...

Hi everyone, I bought many years ago a Altec Lansing ATP3 speaker set for the computer and had it stored for many years. Now I am using it again I am surprised by the loud noise that the speakers make while on but no sound being played. When some music is played, if louder then the noise, I...

I have an Altec Lansing speaker set, and randomly (even when they are not plugged into anything) they make sounds. The sound is the same, even when the volume is all the way down. Can some help please. Thank you JordanD22

I have an Altec Lansing desktop set of computer speakers, and would like to use the 3.5mm jack to hook my headphones to my computer so that the sound plays through the headphones instead of the speakers plugged in. The front 3.5mm jack on my rig has been damaged and cannot be used, so I was...

The audio output from my PC is through the on-board sound card, connected to VS2421 Altec Lansing speakers. I know this is not high end equipment, yet I think the quality is less than I expected. I would appreciate ideas: 1- How to "measure" the quality? is there a way beside the human ear? 2-...

I would prefer the total cost to be under $150. They don't have to be fantastic (just the best for the price) as I'm using some Altec Lansing speakers that come with the old pre-built Dell's atm. P.S. Would the Logitech Z623's be any better than this? Thanks!

Hi, I have Altec Lansing ACS495 speakers. I am told it's some sort of surround speakers, called "Prologic Surround". The speakers are connected with one 3.5mm green jack connector to my Realtek HD Audio, and "Prologic Surround" mode is enabled on the speakers. But I dont know if I should set...

Hi, I got ALTEC LANSING ACS 495, and I need help. My audio card in my pc is Realtek HD Audio, 6 rear ports. First of all, this doesnt seem to be correct... It looks weird, dont u think? I've double-checked, the right satellite is on the right side and vice versa, but it looks so weird.. And...

I have owned every speaker from Klipshorns, Electro Voice,JBL, AR,Advent, Polk, Altec Lansing, many of the speakers these companies made. being a professional audio file I can definitely state that none of them were as good as the Bose 901s! Sorry boys the 901s designed by Dr.Amar Bose back in...

Hello. This thread is about answering a question that has been going around my mind for quite some time now and it's about upgrading my 2.1 channel speakers to 5.1 surround sound which i use with my computer. I have this thing about speakers that i like it to really sound good with some powerful...

Hello I currently have the Altec Lansing MX5021 on a PC & absolutely LOVE the sound from them. I don't game, but listen to music a lot & watch movies a lot. I got another computer for another room & would love to purchase the Altec Lansing MX5021, but they are discontinued. So I was...

A lightning strike in neighborhood abruptly shut down power on everything. When power resumed hours later, my 2 rear speakers were no longer working. Front pair & powered woofer were OK. Unfortunately, could not test at home because each speaker's connector to the woofer is distinctive &...

Need some help please, have these old (but amazing) computer speakers, Dell Altec Lansing ADA995. 5.1 system- all plugs into a massive subwoofer and three cables come out of that. Been using them with an adaptor to create mono sound for my iPod but now want to connect them to an AV receiver for...
