Altec Lansing ko 9yrs na and Oks na Oks padin,![]()
Parang hindi na maganda un mga bagong Altec ngaun. Buhay pa rin un saken, 2002 ata yun.
Edifier un gamit ko sa desktop ngaun, medyo mahina lang un volume kumpara dun sa Altec. Gamit ko nalang un Altec sa kwarto, saksakan ng mp3 player =)
The low-end Altecs probably aren't that durable pero I can attest to the durability of the high-end, flagship models. My Altec 621 still rocks the neighborhood with its clean tight sound.
Anyway, sana naman di sirain ang current Altecs (they were taken over by Plantronics na)
I'm eyeing the MX6021 or its update (MX7021). Even at <10k, it still very much worth it kasi ang tagal mo ito gagamitin.
Labtec (I had the pulse 424 for a start) was bought by Logitech before they flooded the market with low-priced, good quality speakers. ( I had the z680 and two z5500). Those two can literally shake your neighbor's roof - i know because I've tried it so many times at midnight (with sats off, of course).
The pulse 424 was a great 2.1 speaker system because it used a sealed sub radiator. Tight, loud, strong bass. Problematic lang connector nun kasi nga sobrang lakas natatangal. They should have secured it with screws.
Now, with two children, I've long sold my super loud sound systems. I can't use it anyway (and deplete its monetary value). I just retained my trusty 621 to play classical music round the clock.
BTT
if you can find a second hand Altec 621, 641, CS21, MX5021, Creative Gigaworks S750, Logitech z2300, get it. You will not regret it, believe you me.
how about bookshelf type?

i had one of this series before, it weighs 10 kilo, yung old model, i would say iba sya sa mga 2.1 speakers na naririnig ko na puro bass. defined bass and nice highs and nice midrange. perfect for bossa and jazz music and heavy metal. di tulad ng 2.1 na maganda lang sa hiphop and bassy music because of its heavy bass.
yun lang medyo pricey, P6.4k sa tipidpc
