Hi! I've been on this list for what.. 10 years now? Well however long its been one of the most often asked questions pertains to a good set of computer speakers, I just bought a pair of Altec Lansing Expressions Plus speakers so I'll summarise my findings on them for anyone interested in purchasing a reasonable speaker system for their PC.
To put it bluntly these speakers are excellent value given that they're priced for under $100.00. The system consists of 3 speakers, 2 satellites and a bass woofer, all the circuitry for the system is in the woofer unit. I've not sen a woofer design such as this, its a cone shape and is designed to sit on a desk or a shelf rather than the floor. This is the first speaker system where I've seen a bass adjustment on the woofer, extremely handy I must say if you're wanting to do a little "midnight blasting" and you don't want to wake the neighbours or you have the woofer sitting next to you on your desktop. I like the sound of this system, bass is at a level which arouses the interest of a pair of ears but its not over baring as some cheaper speaker systems are, certainly the Logitech system I had was dreadful in this regard. Mid range and top frequencies are very pronounced and perhaps the mid range too much so. In short, don't buy the $20.00 pair of speakers, save your money and buy this pair and you'll be well pleased. If you want to further fine tune your listening experience through a 2.1 channel speaker system then take your ears up to the top Altec Lansing model in the 2.1 range which is the "Expressions Ultra", more about this shortly.
