Altec Lansing FX6021 2.1

The Altec Lansing FX6021 is a great-looking three-piece speaker system that sounds like a full-size bookshelf model.

The FX6021 isn't for everyone. It produces only modest output in the highest and lowest registers, doesn't offer the multichannel capabilities and thunderous low end valued by gamers and movie fans, and is one of the most expensive stereo desktop...

Altec Lansing FX-6021

Aside from being Macworld magazine's highest-rated PC speakers recently, the FX-6021 enticed me with its unique design. The main speakers are tall, slim affairs, each with six 1" micro-drivers. The arrangement makes these the only line-source PC...

Altec Lansing FX6021 2.1 Speaker System

Touted as a "revolution in pro audio" by the Altec Lansing website, the FX6021 enters the high-end 2.1 market to compete with offerings from

Sexy-looking ; Excellent sound dispersion ; Three inputs ; Sleek, functional remote ; Plenty of volume

Subwoofer cannot produce frequencies below 40Hz ; Price ; Where's the THX certification

I had a hard time coming up with a recommendation for these speakers. They are able to disperse sound like I've never heard before, and they are very attractive-looking and are sure to get some attention. Its fault though, comes...

Rock the Room with Altec Lansing's FX6021 Speakers

If you think the aural experts at Altec Lansing only make portable speakers for the iPod, youire forgiven: the companyis marketing efforts mention little else. Such speakers donit really interest us -- weid sooner use an iPod with a decent set of...

Review: Altec Lansing FX6021

After spending a few grand on what most would think the ideal Mac system, many would find it hard to locate speakers that match their Cinema Display or Power Mac G5. Enter the Altec Lansing FX6021 speaker system, which looks great with any modern Mac....

Fast and easy set up, powerful bass, crisp sound, satellites can hang on a wall or stand on a desk, control pod's accessibility, multiple inputs

Slight hiss when there's no audio, pricey for a 2.1 system, control pod could use some design changes

The FX6021 system is the top of the line system from Altec Lansing, and with the power, features, and design, it shows.

Altec Lansing FX-6021 2.1 Speaker System

I recently purchased a G5 tower and, despite the thrill of this computer, I can best compare the sound coming out of the tower to my days as a kid with two tin cans and a string for a walkie-talkie. I guess Apple assumes that if you are purchasing a...

I'm giving this speaker system a very high four out of five. My biggest complaint is that speakers at this price range should have better tone control than what can be achieved from a simple treble and bass control. In addition, I would also have...
