Altec Lansing still insists on downfiring midrange systems.

Honestly no offense, but i adi know the sound is 'fail' once i saw only...down firing midrange is wrong design, but they seems very proud of it, 'mid-range drivers that blast sound waves onto a hard surface, where they are reflected and evenly distributed throughout your room', how hard the surface needed? as hard as their COCK...

try 'filtering' the power supply with avr. but some speakers' power supply is really sensitive. especially the classic transformer type. toroidal transformer hum less imo, and switching doesn't really hiss. although some ppl said switching is not good for music.

FYI, the hissing sound is caused by the amplifier gain and impedance matching problem due to design fault. So add any 'filter' or AVR before power supply line is useless.

hey guys

have MX6021 now.. but i feel the sound straight-out from my lappy is just below satisfying.. is there any way to boost the SQ further?

i know it has built in amp.. so is investing in DAC a good choice?? if so, which do u guys recommend?

Mind to elaborate more? Not satisfying about details or other such as bass, treble and midrange?

Anyway, how much you bought it?

I owned a MX5021, and now i adi loss interesting on any speaker come out from Altec Lansing, due to its design, i don't have confident at all it will sounds good. I search alot of review for MX6021, not so good.

bought at RM730.. from ban leong

well.. i have same thought with you.. the design just don't give me enough confident over its performance.. but this MX6021 caught my eyes

volume knob has 7 levels, once i turn it above 5.. the bass starting to have distortion.. this is what i couldn't accept.. and i wish to improve the bass a lil.. i believe the potential is there, just need smtng to drive it better.. i guess is the lousy sound card from my Asus laptop.. that's why i thought of trying out some usb DAC

treble and midrange are quite good.. but nothing to shout about..

No, based on the user reviews on the net, the main problem is the bass starting to have distortion like in your case, no way to improve, this is not the source problem, since ur source volume was fixed in ur case.

Distortion mainly due to 1) the driver itself can't cope with high power from the amp 2) the amplifier saturate at high volume.
