Anyone can give opinion?LOL...
i am so blur with these 2 speaker=.=

altec lansing laa u never miss it ... the bass is very good.. dat y till now this old model is on sales even is alreadt more than 4 yrs modle edy

go for altec..superb bass n clear sound..

x4..my vote goes for altec

go for Altec..btw, this q should be in Hardware Q&A..

LOL..i really dunno where should i put this post at...
erm...seems like everyone going for altec...
but actually V4121 released such a long time..
if buy now,not very outdated?=.="

If you just want to compare the 2 speakers, I'll go for Altec Lensing.

However, Altec Lensing 4121 kind of bad speaker compared to others with same price range speakers. If you really want Altec Lensing branded add some more money go for 4221.

Alternatively, within the price range, I'd recommend Edifier C2. With a stand alone equalizer, better sound effect but slightly loose to Altec Lensing 4221's sub woofer on bass sound.

If you can go for budget around RM 400, you have plenty of good speakers selection. You can try one by one of them to listen how solid the bass and how clear is the treble sound.

For your information, Altec Lensing cheaper price range speakers, such as 4121 and 4221, are really quite old products. Last time I can say they were super cool, even the best; but now sorry, they have no match with those low range speakers...

My budget is Around RM200-RM250 only...
LOL..Quite worry since V4121 are so long time ago=.=

Go for altec u won't regret it ... Because my shop using that.. Everyone say the sound very very good

You should post audio-related hardware at:
http://forum.lowyat.net/Audiophiles

But be warned of the brand fight.
And avoid those Sonic Gear and Sonic-Gear-Alike brand.

Altec is definte answer. I miss altec bass.

Anyway now i m using amplifier with my own selected speaker and woofer.

EDIFIER sucks no good at all pls du ntake or u will regret trust us ALTEC 4121 is definately okie .. dun worry got outdated or not important is the quality of sound is still nice than now new edifier sound system especially.. edifier jux a pattern nice dun get fool by it ..

altec 4121 losed out in terms of treble and sound clarity, only thing nice is its powerful bass. for the price of 4121, there are better alternative out there. a good place to test speaker between brands can be found in sri computer as mentioned in ealier post. but never buy from this shop.

Altec Lansing is ok until the later model/newer model which is suck to the max... i'd go for Logitech, in this case... i still go for Logitech Z4...

wah...lagi blur=.=...
my friend told me that the latest altec product are suxks...
lol..thats why i dunno which 1 to go for ....

i normally want to use for music,entertaiment only lar..
so bass is sure a need ^^

i gotta agree with sniper69 on this one
i'm using z4 too. found it to be slightly better than the altec
music sounds good on z4. very clear sound.

huh... that's weird.. so many altec supporters here... i thought the clear winner should be logitech z4? hence the higher price tag... try posting in audiophiles section, i'm pretty sure u'd get more response supporting z4 instead of altec.. anyway, what i heard is, if u still want the altec lansing 4121, go for the old model... cos the old model sound quality much better than the new one.. dunno how to differentiate the new and old one though (it's the LED, different colour btwn the old n new, but i dunno which is which)...

if not mistaken the older model is silver with blue led, newer ones are full black with red led.

thanks for the clarification dlwl by the way, i used to open up a thread regarding choosing a speaker within the 200-250 budget too... and altec vs4121 kena hentam kaw2... lots of people recommend edifier m3300, better clarity, but not as bassy as vs4121... but if u're willing to sacrifice clarity for bass, get urself the old 4121 if u can... and another thing is, speakers dont get outdated as quick as other hardwares... and prices wont drop easily, might even increase if got demand... so dont wait for few months for price to drop, cos that's unlikely to happen (i waited for a year and edifier s330 price still remains the same)..

well, between altec vs4121 and edifier m3300, one with more clarity, the other with more bass, i guess you're gonna end up with logitech z4 (pardon me, i'm a bit of a logitech fanboy )
to me z4 is something in the middle, sounds nice even on my intergrated sound card. should definately sound much better if paired with a sound card.

in the end it's still up to you TS, you can't just base on our opinions here only and straight go to the store and get your speakers. take the opinions here as recommendations, and then you gotta test them yourself. or bring someone who can differentitate sound well along with you to the store to test the speakers. see which one suits you the best. what suits our ears doesn't definately suit yours
