The Altec Lansing in the A42/K42 series was definitely disappointing.
Back in the day I had a HP dv2713tx with AL speakers. The other offerings on the market were harman/kardon on a Dell and JBL on a Toshiba.
The Altec pair beat out the competition in terms of loudness, clarity and overall response.
The laptop with its speakers maxed out could propagate an entire movie soundtrack through the length of a classroom - very much audibly.
Moving on to my current A42Jr, sigh...
The Altec here just does not do justice to the brand.
The speakers are either bland and lifeless, or honky, echoey and annoying when the volume is turned up.
SRS on or off does not seem to help either.
The Altec speakers on my friend's UL80VT sounds WAY nicer.
For a start, it actually has some midrange response.
