Comments about Altec Lansing 3-Piece Speaker System:

I do a lot of HD video editing on my computer and need to be able to hear clear crisp sound and a full ranges of audio frequencies.. so i bought this set because it had the lowest bass frequency rating of the speaker sets i was considering (lower is better) and the highest overall total output.. but the bass seemed very shallow and muddy to me... i was immediately disappointed, compared to the older speakers/sub that i was replacing..

Also, i wasn't sure about the down-firing midrange speakers on the desktop? ..but as soon as i played the first audio clip through these speakers (a high quality mp3 of dance music), i knew they were going back to the store asap.. I really think speakers need to face forward and not down.. bass is non-directional but midrange and treble, are not..

So the bass is muddy and i couldn't feel any of it, (the speaker even crackled at mid-louder volumes), the desktop speakers sounded muffled and not crisp and the treble, although nicely adjustable with its own knob, was the clearest of the 3 speakers but still was not very clear to me at all, except at low volume level. (it's a tiny speaker, and no wonder since it's a very thin design)

I had never tried Altec Lansing before and unfortunately, I don't think i will again. If you are a casual user and don't need high quality sound, or need to save space, these might be fine for you but i would not recommend them, there are (much) better options. Hopefully this helps you.
