Customer Reviews

Exquisite sound...
why only four stars? because the subwoofer has a weird sound when playing really low frequencies... I don't know why... I guess the back panel is not secured well enough and it vibrates.... but in general they are great speakers....

GREAT BASS but could go louder.....
I recently recieved this product for an xmas gift. i researched it alot before i put it on my xmas list.....
after opening and properly setting the system up i immeadately noticed the floor vibrating bass i got from the subs. i mean really, the 2-in-1 subwoofer really knock....but i noticed that the sound wasnt on the same level as the bass was.....
with 5 speakers, id expect it to go louder.....but personally, i rather have bass than loudness. especially since i already have another speaker system that can go really loud so i normally hook both up to my ipod and try not to break the windows in my house.
all in all the speakers are great. great clarity, amazing bass but if your looking for an extremly loud speaker system, these arent for you.

Altec Lannsing FX5051
This system was shown to me by son who is studing music & attending ODU. He said this system would be great in helping him hear the tones and notes in his music he writes more crisp. So the system was ordered as a surprize. My wife and I can't believe the quality sound this system provides with such little speakers. The bass is deep and the rest of the sounds are like a mini equalizer with a rich sound. It has plenty of power to push all the speakers.

Overall a quality product at a fantastic price! Thanks Amazon
