hello, im looking for a speaker, currently im using SAMSON studio dock 4i, music sounds incredible, but not good for gaming, bass too small.

I went to All IT give altec lansing IMT800 boombox a test with my ipod, i feel the sound is great too, and rich in bass, anybody can tell me is MX6021 any better than this boombox? can this boombox serve as PC speaker instead of just ipod speaker?
*
you can connect the boombox to your computer through AUX in smile.gif (or RCA in? I dunno)

it would be great but how are you gonna place it for your computer?

placing them behind your computer screen will block the sound.
placing them in front will bother the table too much.

space matters whistling.gif

the MX6021 is as amazing as this boombox smile.gif

Just wondering why Altec Lansing does not produce those high end speakers anymore. Maybe some 7.1 or 5.1 THX stuff like all those other crappy Creative speakers do.

cuz the new Altec Boss now loves to use cut cost parts right now whistling.gif

Thanks for the insight about AL ... this always happens to really good companies in the wrong hands... wrong decision.. wrong products..

But I think for a PC Multimedia speakers (that what they were called.. but I always hated the word multimedia...totally overused ), 650W could be too high price to pay ... ppl could just jump into some low end hifi stuff... unless it was priced very competitively..
*
fans will still buy them no matter how ridiculously priced they are...
look at Beats by Dre headphones... dayum~


oh... maybe that huge subwoofer had amazing tech behind it to cool down the amp? watercooling maybe?
some of the reasons why they delayed the release date so long till plantronics bought them and abandon the project because they think it's impossible to do so? whistling.gif


man... if these were out, Imma get them

This part has been broken up by my violence
*
mm... this is something I could help...

go walk around the store and get yourself a 2-part epoxy and some sort of clamp to hold the broken piece safely...
follow the instructions on mixing the glue(a small amount will do) and smear it ONLY on the snapped off leg... stick them together whistling.gif
then use the clamp to hold and squeeze it tightly and wait till it dries wink.gif

rules for glue
-always use just enough glue
-always apply as much pressure as possible on it while it's curing

No matter it'll whether work again, I'd like to thank all the people here, especially "beggarmaster2000"! To your question, it's worthy of having a new account registered here, without doing it, I wouldn't have obtained the information from you. Thank you!

Very tired and haven't had my late late dinner yet, needed to take a break and have something to eat!

most multimedia computer don't need ground wire. they are insulated equipment. see the double square logo near the power cord?

this is a class II double square logo:

I got shocked quite a few times thru these double square equipped products sweat.gif tongue.gif

No such logo was found on the power cord, it doesn't matter! Anyhow, thank you!

Just came back with the new wires bought, need to get back to the final stage of the 1st-phase modification, report later!

it's not on the power cord... it should be near somewhere there... icon_idea.gif

whatever it is... if you want grounding... find the area which leaks lotsa electric(use a multimeter or test pen) [normally on the big metal piece(not heatsink)] ,solder the ground wire there and connect the ground to the earth pin whistling.gif

most new altecs nowadays sounded muffled.
the design isn't good and the parts used are cut cost parts
