Altec Lansing Expressionist Classic (FX2020)

By Dan Frakes

Altec Lansing's Expressionist Classic speaker system offers a unique design and better audio than your Mac's stock speakers, although you can find better sound for the money.

Altec Lansing Expressionist Classic FX2020

By Tim Gideon

Altec Lansing's Expressionist Classic FX2020 speakers ($79.95 list) aren't going to knock your socks off with their power, but they also won't put much of a dent in your wallet. And with a unique industrial look, they're pretty sweet to look at. ...

Affordable. Upward-angled for desktop listening. Crisp mids and highs. Intriguing, attractive design

Altec Lansing Expressionist Classic FX2020

By Campbell Simpson

Modern design, well-rounded sound at decent volumes

Lack of treble detail, harsh at higher levels

While these speakers will not amaze in terms of sound quality, the design might be of interest.

Altec Lansing?s Expressionist FX2020 speakers have a different design to the company's other model in the Expressionist series, with a design similar to Sony?s 'floating glass' television motif. At lower and middle volumes, the Expressionist...
