    Looking for 2.1 speakers (better than my Altec Lansing MX5021)

    I haven't had much time to test them properly but all seems good. Bass seems a bit strong, even when it's turned down a lot, and volume overall is a lot lower than the MX5021. I cannot say if they are better than the MX5021 but they certainly aren't worse. I used the 3.55mm audio cable from the...

    Looking for 2.1 speakers (better than my Altec Lansing MX5021)

    I hear the Logitech Z-Cinema cannot be connected directly to the sound card, is this true? If so, how am I able to get sound? I want to be able to use my Creative XtremeMusic sound card with this...

    Looking for 2.1 speakers (better than my Altec Lansing MX5021)

    Thanks himakanth, I really believe getting a pair of bookshelf speakers like the M-Audio AV40 and Behringer MS40 would be the best choice but overall I feel they really need a subwoofer to go with them. I am having an incredibly hard time finding a good sub in the UK to go with either of these...

    Looking for 2.1 speakers (better than my Altec Lansing MX5021)

    I think the Expressionist Ultra MX6021 and MX6021 are the same. They have a frequency range of 40Hz to 20kHz - 10 dB compared to the MX5021 of 30Hz to 22kHz - 10 dB. Does the MX6021 have things better than the MX5021? Please look at the technical specs...

    How can the MX6021 be called the successor to the MX5021? Just marketing? I know the Mako are good but you didn't take into consideration my budget. The Mako completely blow my budget... they are just too expensive. That setup is triple my budget :no:

    Looking for 2.1 speakers (better than my Altec Lansing MX5021)

    Hi, When I originally purchased the MX5021 in 2006, I almost went with the Pro Media 2.1, but I hear the MX5021 is SLIGHTLY better (it's very close). They are discontinued now so unless I buy used, I don't think I can get hold of them. I've been hearing very good things about the M-Audio AV40...

    Looking for 2.1 speakers (better than my Altec Lansing MX5021)

    Hi all, My wonderful Altec Lansing MX5021 2.1 speakers just died and I need to find a new replacement for my PC (Music, movies and games). Since they don't sell these anymore, and I want to buy new (so I get a warranty), what 2.1 speakers would you recommend? I am not interested in 5.1 and 7.1...
