Digital camera Review: Best bang for the buck
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are simply looking to replace or add computer speakers, look no further. You will not find a better pair of speakers for the price -- which, at $9 and change, is an absolute steal. (Heck, it costs Amazon just as much to ship them!)
If computer speakers are your only means of listening to music, you might want to consider something more high-end. But if computer speakers are your only means of listening to music, you are probably not a high-end audiophile. And these speakers will do, in spades.
I have bought two, count 'em, two pairs of these. The first pair I bought for my office computer. I only bought them because they were the cheapest speakers I could find. I was quite impressed given the money. I keep the volume fairly low in my office, which would normally lead to losing the low end, but with the subwoofer I get a little oomph and punch even at low volume.
The speakers I'd been using on my home computer -- a pair of four-year-old Gateways -- suddenly seemed a bit weak by comparison, although they had always seemed more or less fine for what they are (i.e., computer speakers!). I've now replaced those Gateways (and given them and the computer to which they were connected to the kids) with these Altecs. There is quite a difference.
First, the Gateways -- which were pretty state of the art for computer speakers in their day four years ago -- only put out 3 watts per channel. The Altecs put out 4 watts per channel and 7 watts in the subwoofer. Second, the frequency response of the Gateways is 90Hz - 20KHz. Thanks to the subwoofer, the frequency response of the Altecs is 30Hz - 20KHz. That difference between a 30KHz low end and a 90KHz low end means A LOT.
In short, you can't go wrong with these speakers unless you are looking for a high-end, higher-powered set-up as your primary speakers.
