Now that's the sort of information I'm interested in, I've ordered a
pair of Soundsticks 2, they're easily available on eBay.
I understand that the Soundsticks have touch volume controls on the
speakers so that explains why you control the volume from the computer
itself, nothing wrong with that.
I've only ever found 1 good set of Bluetooth Speakers and that was the
Bose Sound Link and the price was quite good for a Bose product at $330.00.
I'm going to try the Braven 650 Bluetooth Speaker in a few weeks, thist
unit also gets very good reviews and is Bluetooth 4.0 compatible.

They're nicely balances, feel solid, look good and sound great at low
and high volumes. I've read that the 3rd iteration featuring
bluetooth are not as good. I would like an additional input jack, but
tht's not a feature.

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>.
