Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $280.00 from Perth Australia

Summary:
The Altec Lansing FX6021 is one of the most enjoyable PC speaker systems I have come across. It may well be the best I have come across so far.

1. It does not have the deepest & most powerful bass but what is there is fitting for a system of this configuration
2. It has very good clarity & the sound is natural
3. The overall balance of the system is very good
4. There is good speed & rhythm to the sound
5. It will not match more powerful 5.1 systems in terms of power & surround
sound excitement; they are not designed for gaming/movies but will perform well for a 2.1 system nonetheless"

Strengths:
1. Very enjoyable, clear, cris & balanced sound, with good rhythm
2. Small footprint
3. Very good & tuneful bass for the size
4. Absolutely ideal for music
5. Well made
6. Looks good & does not overpower your PC with large sized satellites

Weaknesses:
-Not as well suite for gaming/movies
-Sounds like a midrange sized audio system but for the price & intended purposes, the value is excellent
-Bass output is respectable but clearly not the deepest or punchiest
-Thick wires from satellites to sub
-Blue LEDs on control pod a bit bright & can be a problem if listening in the dark

Similar Products Used:
My experience with such systems include:

1, Other Altec Lansing models 2.1 & 4.1 (upper end model)
2. Yamaha 2,1 (expensive)
3. Yamaha 2
4. Apple Hifi'
5. Logitech mm50 (amazing for its size!)
6. Sony
7. Bose Sound Dock

I also have a high end hifi system albeit it is around 5 years old.
Now back to the review. If you enjoy music, the FX6021 should be one of the very best 2.1 speakers you will find,,, & that is despite them having been in the market for almost 2 years now.

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
