I was also aiming for AegoM, but I heard the bass is insufficient. I haven't try it personally, so I won't know if I'll like it or not.

For soundcard, if you're talking about Creative's X-fi, I think all of the version (platinum, etc. I'm not sure about the x-fi music) are using the same soundcard except that the platinum version has the front I/O panel.

Iianm the Elite Pro uses a different card. The Elite Pro uses Cirrus Logic CS4398 while the rest use CS4382 DAC chip.

1yr plus..ok wat..

well..bass insufficient? but i read many reviews that say it goes bang bang boom..

Hi all Altec Lansing owners, can i know is it Altec Lansing MX 5021 got 2 model?
if got, Can post some photo?

2 models? 2 colours have lar.. Usual one is black.. MX5021.. white one is called MX5021-WHT..

lAh0s have the white version while I have the black one.. from comparison, the only obvious difference is 1. the colour, and 2. the sub on the white coloured one doesn't come with a cloth grille while the black version comes with a cloth grille..

Added on February 7, 2007, 1:07 amits bass reproduction is different from, for example, Klipsch GMX or Logitech Z-xxx.. it's tighter, more thump and less hum..

Oic, WHT means white color!
Can i know now how much for a new MX5021?
black color and white color are same price?

The price is the same for both colours but the white one is extremely rare these days, most of the shops in my area are selling the black colour, the price is around RM530 if you know how to nego kaw kaw with the shop.

Oh, thanks for ur information!!!!
I prefer black color coz its include clothe grille
With this, i think spekaer will not easily get dirty!!!

Black one is nice but of course, easy to kena finger prints too if you're not careful but they have included a cloth for you to wipe the speakers.

Either colour gets stained easily.. by fingerprints and dust of course.. the sats are covered with a glossy finish.. so it's a fingerprint magnet..

Anyone got see the Altec Lansing 5100?

Here is d picture

Thanks for ur picture... Anyone here try this b4?

I think this speaker was ordy not available in market right?

Wah, I never seen these speakers before, looked kinda crude looking to me.

this speaker...bass not strong enuff n i think the sound too sharp..n not clear..but it sure looks beautiful..thus its asking price if i rmbr correctly is around RM500, the bigger but uglier brother which are the 621 n 641 retails at RM600 n RM1l++ respectively..621 n 641 apparently have much better quality..i heard 621 but not 641..

Nowaday is it got sell ADA series?

Hi guys, I'm on a lookout for 2.1 speakers and came across Altec FX4021. Anyone owns one? Would like to know the comparison between FX4021 and MX5021

Thanks

Never heard FX4021 personally, but many said it's much inferior to the MX5021..

Specificication wise, MX5021 pwns FX4021..

FX4021's sub is in isobaric configuration.. which (according to Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isobaric_speakers) delivers the same amount of frequency response with a smaller volume of enclosure space.. but many said it's not that effective.. design flaw maybe?

I give MX5021 the edge. FX4021 - if you try to listen to this speaker, you'll notice that it sounds flat, nothing great (same with FX6021). It is the default setting - flat. However, once you hit the loud button in the control pod (loud increases the treble and bass setting), then you will appreciate this speaker better. MX5021 is the reverse, it is a bright speaker, must decrease the treble. That's the reason most people will immediately jump for MX5021 because it places much emphasis on the high notes. If I breakdown them:

Highs - MX5021 is ahead (decreased treble).
Mids - tie, but I feel both of them has certain hollowness in some vocals (both uses polypropelene material).
Lows - tie, both are not punchy, just low frequency sound but not boomy like the VS4121 model. FX4021 claims that it has isobaric subwoofer to make it stronger, but I can't feel it, something could be wrong with their design.

Some models of MX5021 has static hiss, changing the cable helps a lot. Altec speakers are notoriously known for static hiss. There is one more speaker I feel is more balanced and worth looking, the CS21 (disadvantage is that it has no remote control and no treble adjustment). But none of these models can match 621 and 641 models.
