it's more like without the big mama subwoofer and minus another mid-range driver too..

yea..forgot about the driver

Oh, i just realise my choice is MX5021 hahahaha
Thks

go for MX5021 bah..no nid to think so much

Er, how much are your cables..?

Btw, I some how feel that the bass is not good enough. When I play some bassy songs, the bass is some how not tight enough, and the bass sounded like it broke. Hope you know what I meant. I'm wondering how to improve on that.

If RM530, can buy lah ..... it's probably being replaced by FX4021 now because many shops stop selling MX5021 already. Better 'fai tee' buy one if you are really interested to get one. Later only FX4021 is available then charm ..... the sound is


I think terbalik already, 6021 treble is sharper and the bass is softer, underpowered. 5021's bass is harder and deeper but not as sharp as 6021. Got pros and cons here but for gaming, 5021 is more better. The bass is really explosive.


If replaced by FX4021, that's crazy as the FX4021 never sounded as good as MX5021, that will be a disaster for Altec Lansing unless it's because their royalties to pay THX for using their logo is up. Funny thing, CS21 still got a lot in Penang and is still selling very well.

The cables are RM8 per meter for Cable Talk 3 ones, RM18 per meter for the QED ones, my VDH CS122 Hybrid retails at RM70 per meter (might be higher now as I bought it a few years back the British Pounds wasn't that high at that time). The cables are costly but will solve the boomy and cracking bass sound. It's b'coz that the ori cables are inferior. Of course, the choice is yours choice but I've upgraded mine and the sound is a lot better now. If you're on a tight budget, the Cable Talk, QED or even Audioquest ones are a fine pick, you can ask around.

MX5021 is better than FX6021 tat is a fact... Bt nw Altec retailer jz focus on FX6021 only... Why? Gain more profit?

altec lansing new product really tend to more and more worse already, no matter the look or the sound quality. i am so disappointed, why they can't find a better engineer or designer to push up their quality like last time?

may b the altec lansing is only focus on d subwoofer, require a good woofer, may b this make them neglect d important of satelic... Altec. gambatheh la

the ragnarok of altec have come!!!!!!!!!

what is 'ragnarok' ?

its an malaysia MMORPG game that getting worse

Most shops are stucked with FX6021, even the shop I bought from asked me to buy FX6021 when I wanted MX5021, luckily, I didn't fall for that trap, they even tried to push it to me at RM620. So desperate.


Worse? No lah, it doesn't apply to all Altec models, maybe you're disappointed in the latest models like the FX4021, right?

latest product is "FX" series. even though MX5021 is also can consider old model liao. frankly speak i feel all "FX" s**ks... ahh.. include the GT also

I think since d FX6021 release, the rest of d latest altec speaker all still same like b4, just focus on to design a heavy bass speaker like 4021 with dual coil subwoofer.

Wah, FX4021 also considered bass heavy speaker? The sound is very mild only wor and more expensive than MX5021, not a really value for money if you ask me. Anyway, Altec and JBL are from the same company so Altec's choice of speakers not your type, you can go for those JBL speakers too like Creature II.

FX4021 has dual coid subwoofer, isn't same with ada 885?

Walao..I just notice the fan club

Altec Lansing FanNoi here

Owned ATP3 and now VS4121

Altec Lansing and JBL company name are come from a same person, James B Lansing. they are two different company. The company bought Lansing Manufacturing Company headed by James B. Lansing and formed Altec Lansing Corporation on May 1, 1941. And then James B Lansing form another company again at 1 October 1946 as JBL.

FX4021 (and the surround version) uses a twin woofer in an isobaric configuration.. which technically can produce lower bass at half of the cabinet space of non-isobaric woofers..

TECHNICALLY...

I think they messed it up somewhere..
