Don't forget you guys, Bose makes some cool speakers too. I love my Compnion 5 speakers though they're a vurtial surround sound system and not a real one.

If you can't find yours these are a good alternative. From what I have heard you describe your speakers the 340s may be a bit weeker than yours but they are still a good set of 2.1 speakers. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dane Trethowan" <grtd...@internode.on.net> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Sunday, June 23, 2013 1:57 AM Subject: My Computer Speakers Died > Hi! > > Subject line displays the grim reality, was working away here when there > was a crackle and the smell of smoke rising from the sub-woofer of my > Altec Lansing Expressionist Ultra speaker system so that looks to be the > end of those. > > I looked around for another pair but can't find them anywhere which is a > shame as this system has been the best Computer speaker system I've owned. > > I then decided to do a little research, "Google Is My Friend" so I typed > "Best Computer Speakers" in and found to my amazement a web page that lets > you compare all sorts of atributes for computer speakers, size, wattage, > controls, features and so on. > > From the little time I had to look at this page I found that the nearest > competitor to the Altec Lansing Expressionist Ultra speaker system seemed > to be the Harman Kardon Sound Sticks, audio specs seem the same except > that the Sound Sticks only have a low end of 44HZ instead of 40HZ for the > Expressionist Ultra speaker system, nothing to worry about then in that > area, both speakers have a top frequency of 20KHZ. > > The only other annoyance about the Sound sticks was that the controls were > on the speakers themselves - volume was on 1 speaker and volume for the > sub-woofer was on the woofer -, yes an annoyance but not a critical point, > something that wouldn't turn me off buy this speaker setup. > > So has anyone had any experience with the Harman Kardon Sound Sticks and > what do you think or perhaps you have another recommendation or - even > better - perhaps you know of where I can get another Altec Lansing > Expressionist Plus speaker system <smile>. > > > > ********** > > Dane Trethowan > Skype: grtdane12 > Phone US (213) 438-9741 > Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 > Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 > Mobile: +61400494862 > > > > > > To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: > pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
