The Altec-Lansing-VS4121 2.1 Computer Speaker system has been a real boon for all my computer work for the last five years. This purchase only replaced the Left/Right speakers due to an electrical connection problem but all is working great again. The subwoofer did not need replacing, but all three speakers are part of the same proprietary system and cannot be used separately. There are newer 2.1 systems from Altec-Lansing and other powered speaker manufacturers, but this model has rich, deep, wide frequency response audio great for my use not only listening to my files, but comes in very handy in editing/modifying sound files on audio editor apps. Very adjustable treble, bass controls with surprisingly good mid-range response from small footprint compact speakers. Of course, the subwoofer is larger and fits under the desk, but is strongly powered and provides great bass and cross-over. Sounds and performs better than a typical "computer speaker" system. This system is all audio; no LED lights, flashy colors or surprise gimmicks to take up space and attention from the audio. While this Altec-Lansing-VS4121 2.1 system is no longer manufactured, the three components are still available in good working condition on eBay, which I appreciate.Read full review

You have to push down the input into the existing subwoofer. I have to secure the cord with duct tape so the connection will stay. Never worked easily. Disappointed but the inventory was low so it is what it is.

The system i bought promised exellent sound with unique features which it did posess and met my expectations and functioned well until a power surge knocked it out, my error, I plugged directly into wall outlet when I first unpacked it just to see if all worked alright, was so pleased with the sound improvement I forgot to plug it into my surge protector so I was totally bummed out and will have to "put it in the shop". My only minor complaint would be that it wasn't able to carry loud volume level, felt like it needed a booster..I would purchase again if looking for another system though.
Altec has been one of the best brands for decades in all categories, from professional to home. I have four of this babies. one in my office...it sure rocks my office. I also have three in my music room. One is enough, but when I want to rattle the walls I turn on the second set, but when I want to feel the music going through my body, I turn on the third set....Boy there is nothing like loud music that you can really feel. The quality is great. Crisp highs and mids and the bass sub sure fills the room. What is great about this set of speakers is the fact that you have a control for highs & mids and a separate control for the bass, along with a volume control. Give them a try....you'll love them.

I bought a new set of these speakers about 7 years ago from a local CompUSA for around $80.00. I couldn't believe how good they sounded. I was suffering a little mid-life crisis recently so I went out and bought a set of Klipsch Pro-Media 2.1's (at least I didn't go out and buy a Lambo). They (Klipsch) are better than the Altecs but not by much. These (Altecs) are an excellent middle-of-the-road set of 2.1 speakers. My son in law really liked the sound of the Altecs and wanted my old set. He was kind of bummed when I told him that I was taking them to the office, so I surprised him with this set I just purchased.
