sad case..

more irritating is the control.. dammit.. the turn turn thingy is just so lousy.. cannot last long.. mine spoil after one month or so.. until now i also lazy to send to ban leong to claim warranty..

actually the performance improve significantly if i listen to CDs instead of MP3s..

time for bose companion...

But i think 5/7 volume is too high already, plus if you boost ur bass setting, then distortion is unavoidable. I think at mid to low volume is still a decent speaker.

true enough

but then i'm kinda crazy bass aXs.. and once a week i'll boom my room down with B.E.P.

If such case, next time when find speaker, find the large diameter sub speaker, Altec speaker sub is too small adi, even premium max at 6.5" (actual size <<6.5"), when the box itself is quite huge, is a shame they just put in small driver on that, i really doubt it can cope with high power, driver always the bottleneck in PC speaker.

you should get nice ones like logitech z-2300
it surely bring the house down
plus cheaper too, around RM500-600

nowadays altec cut cost give u china or taiwan rubbish inside cause they wanna compete with other cheap brands like edifire and sonic gera
so to solved that problem, simply just replace the subwoofer output capacitor, the samxon or capson to some better quality ones, if i'm not wrong the sub cap has the value 16v 220uf for those that run tda73XX. i think can use same trick for the yours
very big diff!!

If can solved by just changing cap, then everyone here can become engineer adi...

For distortion problem, even u change to 100Billion Farad cap also useless.

hehe at least i tried to help solve the problem unlike MOST people here!
anyway worth a try! the original caps are replace on sight anyways =)

btw guy , mx5021 best pair with what sound card?
currently using emu 0404 and sb live
consider x-fi titanium?

asus xonar u1

Wow!! A Altec Lansing Thread!
I'm a Altec Lansing user too, ATP-3

Kinda old model but still sounds great!

anyone know where can repair Altec Lansing speaker? i using VS3151. serving me 5 yrs plus...

any local electronic repair shop will do

correct me if i am wrong =)

the stuff inside is almost the same as atp5 and can use parts from 4100 or mx5021
no shop in selangor area has parts for it unless he order online which is more aspensif... ban leong also not helpful
you can scrap for parts in those models above because usually its the amp,input or psu fry!!!

but if its tda73XX chip inside you van get parts from old car radio =)

i could fix it for you, where are you located ?

hi all, just bought VS4621 yesterday
previous speaker was also altec lansing 4.1, old styles don't know what the name
now prefer 2.1 speaker compare with 4.1 because of messy cable

is sound card needed for this VS4621, after I plugged seem the sound wasn't good as testing in the shop.

sweet system...
yea... every speaker will sound good if paired with a good soundcard
since it's 2.1 system... try to find this soundcard
Asus Xonar U1

it's by far the cheapest good soundcard you can get
