ooooo, those are pretty

Oh yeah, and they sound great too!

indeed, they do rock. i'm pretty impressed with altec lansing's new products.

Really crumby. I just got some for christmas and I am very disappointed. The packaging was awful; a really long tedious process followed by furthur disappointment at the uglyness of these speakers. They really are not as nice as they seem. Once plugging them in, I was greeted with less than adequate sound and really yuky base. I dont lik heavy base personally, and you can turn it down but in doing so the music sounds silly. Dont buy these speakers, I'm taking them back tomorrow.

The major problem with these speakers is that they delivers a very high-pitched treble wich becomes annyoing after a while. I tried tweaking them (i own a Audigy 2 ZS) but in vain... The only thing i can do is set the bass and the treble manually track (!!!)...
Over-all: dissapointing... The In-concert technology is the one to blame , because it adds an echo to the sound, making it be like youre in a concert...

well, this comment might be a year and a half late, but i am still using these speakers i and think they sound great. i listen to music on them constantly and i never had a single problem as mentioned above.

high pitched treble? try using an equalizer. less than adequate sound and yucky bass? i've not experienced either. i stand by my original assessment.

Sound good to me. Mostly music. The bass booms if sub-woofer is in a boxy area - have put mine up on a bookshelf, instead of in the bottom of computer cupboard, now very happy. I am going to buy a second set for the kitchen - subwoofer on top of the fridge, satellites wonderfully thin to hang on the wall out of the way.
