The subject line says it all when it comes to this pair of speakers. The Altec Lansing Expressionists speakers have little in the way of features but who really cares about that when cost is low and sound - for a pair of desktop speakers - is worth recommending on its own.
The speaker system has only 3 buttons, power, volume up and volume down which are situated on the rear of the right speaker. the volume up and down buttons are identifiable by the plus and minus signs, the power button is a button with a detent, not that much different to the sort of button you'd find at the bottom of an iPhone screen. The Expressionists speakers are designed in such a way that they cannot be easily knocked over, this is achieved by the speakers having cylinders at the rear which touch the desk and rubber feet at the front, I also suspect that the cylinders give an opportunity to the speakers to output more bass. Each speaker contains 1 3 inch driver and sound is surprisingly good throughout the spectrum. The system has 2 3.5MM jack input sockets which are mixed together so 2 devices can be run simultaneously if required. Volume is louder than I expected and the system does indeed deliver a good punchy sound, nothing tinny about these speakers whatever. If you want high performance for music or games then this speaker set is obviously not the 1 to pick but if you have a very limited budget and want a set of speakers with all round good performance without too much compromise then this system at $50.00 is very hard to pass up, I'll be using this speaker system until my Harman Kardon sound sticks arrive in a few weeks and I have no trouble with that. ********** 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
