i have tested fx6021 and mx5021 at low yat last time... for fx6021, the treble is quite deep.... and the bass is cover by metal net.... i worry that it will affect the sound quality if the metal net get losse next time... for bass wise, mx5021 bass is better.. maybe you can test it in low yat one day...

its better if u can audition urself. widen the range of options u hav. mayb u wil end up liking the ATP3, who knows? wil save u heaps of money. but seriously, MX5021 is one of the best altec lansing is offering.

if ur option can b other than altec lansing, look for others like edifier S2.1D, Klipsch GMX2.1, these ar about the same price range, with the edifier 1 particularly cheaper

No way a proper 2.1 set is powered through USB sweat.gif
Just that u connect it through the USB instead of the normal analogue to the soundcard
Oh and it makes your soundcard useless biggrin.gif

Correct me if i'm wrong, this is how the normal USB speakers/headphones work

it is not usb powered...do you realize there is an usb cable come together with your ada305? it is more like graphic user interface for you to control the speaker in computer without touching the speaker...

you are right, it is no way a proper 2.1 speaker can be powered by usb... usb only supply 5v...got la, those low end one, you can connect your speaker to the usb, usb powered, and no need to connect the speaker to the sound card...

mx5021 can be considered is the best set by AL so far.... the ony weakness for the speaker is the treble is quite sharp that might make your ear pain.... the only solution is to change the cable... buy good cable with low distortion and noise for it... maybe you can find from pasar road for a better price..

I used this type of speaker before. The usb cable is not for power up the speaker.
Have to connect the usb cable and open Altec Lansing software, in order to adjust the volume of each satellite.

ada-305. its after acs 45.1. i myself been using acs 45.1 till today. initially wanted to get ada-305 but then because of the compatibility issue where it cannot work on win2000, i stay with 45.1 model

the speaker looks like ada885 but the upper portion surround speaker cannot be dismantel. there are 2 cables involve. the audio jack and the usb. the usb is plainly to synconize the sound with the windows. so instead of controlling the hardware and software manually. you get to do it both in one setting. overall the speaker has dolby surround and is quite nice during its era.

atp3 is crisp clear but the base is on the loosing side. so if you're more on to music, atp3 is the best choice last time. Things were different for atp5. i fell in love with it when my roomate played star wars episode 1. close your eyes and you can feel the ship crusing from the front right to the left back.

My thoughts for current ALTEC products:

These 2.1 speakers are considered to be top notch AL products:

1. FX-6021 - superb treble, good midrange, good bass, not boomy (best treble)
2. MX-5021 - good treble, good midrange, good bass, not boomy (trebles need adjustment as it can go very high)
3. CS-21 - nice treble, superb midrange, good bass (best midrange)

GT-5051 is not impressive and is definitely overpriced when comparing price to power-sound ratio. The ACS-621 and ACS-641 are also good but AL discountinued them as they problems with amp dying prematurely. The CS21 is supposed to be the successor to CS21. Both FX-6021 and MX-5021 have slight subwoofer amp hum when plugged in.

VS-4121 and VS-4221 are middle range products. VS-4121 suffers from slight subwoofer amp hum when plugged in. It has a down firing midrange meaning the surface must be hard for sound to disperse or else, as most people have complaints, the midrange disappears. VS-4221 has a very small remote and is definitely over priced for a 35W RMS. It's too shameful, AL made this too pricey, almost the same price with the superb CS-21. VS-4221 can't match the power and clarity of CS-21 rated at 110W RMS.

ATP-3 is considered a good buy in terms of price to power-sound ratio. Budget price for an above-average sound clarity. ATP-3 is still better with VS-2221 in all aspect. The ATP-3 is a downfiring midrange, it needs a hard solid surface to disperse midrange or else it will loose to VS-2221 in midrange.

The others are not worth mentioning, either overpriced or sound is not spectacular compared to their price. For budget speakers with great bass and clear sound, I will choose the CREATIVE T-6060 and P-5800. Very good price to power-sound ratio, nice bass and clear sound.

2. MX-5021 - good treble, good midrange, good bass, not boomy (trebles need adjustment as it can go very high)

i m using MX5021 also... the treble is very high by using the given wire.. then i changed the wire to a lower noise and distortion wire, now it works perfectly.... even my friend who own JBL wan change to AL MX5021 also... thumbup.gif

using ATP3 the thing is that after use it for long time the power can't off ady ...when u finish turn it the light stil there

smile.gif My aging ATP3 has been serving me very well since the day i got it (3 years ago). Main usage is on musics and i never bother to blast it. Normally i place the treble knob at middle position while the bass turned to minimum.

3 years and still going strong, volume knob is still perfect! smile.gif But then, atp3 is a bottleneck for my 0404 card; gonna say bye-bye to my beloved atp3 soon to get a pair of bookshelves.

Been a user of ACS54, ADA305, AM4100 and ADA885.

My opinion:

ACS54 - Subwoofer is way too small. If i'm not mistaken, it's a mere 4" driver. Satellites are okay. Sold off after 2 weeks of use. Pure crap!

ADA305 - Good and reliable speakers. Missed the time back then during the Windows 98SE and ME era where you get to synchro the settings of the speakers via the software provided. Speakers are still doing great, currently attached to my mom's computer. Had it for almost 9 years.

AM4100 - Dual driver woofers, kinda boomy but lacks the lower extension. Limitation could be due to driver size...a mere 5.25". The highs are acceptable...but lacks midbass, the same scenario as ATP3 and VS4121 which my friend owns. Took quite some time to calibrate the EQ to bring up the midbass of the VS and ATP.

ADA885 - Satellites are good, LCD is an eye-popper and gets ppl envious. Definitely of the best digital speaker back then during the 'ADA' line-up. Bass is definitely not the right kind for music, not tight...but can be corrected if you know how to play with the EQ of add-on soundcards.

Sad to say but i've retired from Altec Lansing. Recently sold my Logitech Z680 and got myself a Klipsch. Would really wanna try the MX5021 soon, for my secondary rig.

they are all in the past for me... all dump in my store room now. Not to say it isnt good, i do believe each individual has thier own preference in sound quality. As for me, my current setup performance is much much far more superior than any of the AL i used to own...

AL speakers are good experience for learning and progressing in the world of sound system... trust me, before too long u will start to feel it aint enough....

Hello guys, i m using ALTEC LANSING MX5021, previous to that i used power cube by altec lansing. I love em both ,and my great love is for MX 5021, its really a beauty, i connected it to a TOSHIBA DVD player , and the sound is really fantanstic. U can even hear the sharpest of sounds . Anyways guys, currently i m using a MAYA 7.1 sound card, but i dont get much performance in it. so planning to switch to creative sound blaster xtreme music, which has thx certification. So any advise?

ONe more thing, anyone knows how to expand a 2.1 system to 5.1 system without buying a 5.1 speakers. i mean by buying separate speakers and connecting them to the sound card,any suggestions,please do drop in.thanks.

wa... a lot of MX5021 user here...


I am only with VS4121...got it last year... the first time using it... WOW!!!! I never thought my music could sound this great... too great. I clean it everyday of dust and yell at anyone who dares to touch it :ph34r:


But now... after I bought my Chaintech AV710... and a few hours everyday in this Audiophile section (starting at the beginning of the year)... I slowly feels that my VS4121 bass is too much. Don't know why... not only that... but I felt it is not enough :ph34r:


Now I am using my SHP895 to listen to music more often than with VS4121. I only use it for movies and games. Thinking to invest some money for MX5021... probably this end of the year smile.gif

Can anyone help me with my speakers problem
I'm having the Altec Lansing VS4121.
2-3 years.
Speakers having problem projecting sound out.
mainly due to cable if i'm not mistaken.
Sometimes the subwoofer just turn off by itself.
Should I buy a new cable? or do i need to send it for repair?

MX-5021 is definitely better.

ADA-885 is old model.

Altec flagship are these: FX-6021, MX-5021, and CS-21

what can i say, MX-5021 has a better clariy than the ada885. i've heard the quality and back in those old days. altec only focus on bass back then.

FX6021 rocks. even when the shop is filled with people, the clarity of the speaker still manage to be heard on the far end

what? ATP3 is better than VS4121? who said that? i'm totally disagree because i'm using the ATP3 before... the subwoofer sound good even not magnetically shielded. But what the low main point that the speaker's satellite got less power than their subwoofer itself. that why Altec Lansing upgrading their speaker of the lagendary ATP3 to VS4221. Both speaker and subwoofer got very good power to go. Anyway right now i'm using VS4221 and 4121 version. Both version were good. Anyway, 4221 comes with wireless remote control. But the bad side if you lose your remote control so then it's impossible to adjust your bass and treble again. The remote controller itself design suxx... So simple like a car remote controller. Look like a cheap one. But there in the speaker itself got no manual bass and treble to tune out. All you need to do by using the supply remote controller. But the sound is very good. Fair enough with the money you put on themselves. Not so much different than the VS4121 version by itself. Both comes with a good bass, crisp tweeter and crystal clear sound. It depends on your soundcard too! The way it sound even an expensive speaker used if you're using the crap soundcard so the result would be crap too!!

1st is ATP3, then 2nd is VS4221, now you are thinking of either VS4221 or VS3151 (5.1). I thought you are already using VS4221 (2.1) now?
Since this is Atec Lansing Fans Club, in my opinion, GT5051 (5.1) is way better than VS3151 (5.1). But other 5.1 speakers from other brands are better than these.
With your budget, CS21 (2.1) is better than VS4221 (2.1) and MX-5021 is way much better (in S'pore, MX-5021 price is S$219).

For me, I prefer FX6021 than MX5021, but some people prefer MX5021 than FX6021. I think it all depends on their sound card. MX5021 treble gets very high and adjustment in treble control is always necessary, however, some people bought a better cable than the one supplied and it solved everything. FX6021 is really very clear, I could hear sounds coming in CD's that I have never heard before. The sub is not thumping, heart pounding type but is pleasant and warm. Sound stage is excellent and stereo reproduction is almost perfect. It's excellent for music, movies and games too, if you don't mind the surround effect of 5.1 systems. VS4121 is not a bad speaker but is not that very good too. I think you'll prefer MX5021, which is cheaper than FX6021.

Hi, want to know how is MX5021 and GMX2.1 compared to GT5051? Can those 2.1 speakers provide better sounding and experience than GT5051? I mainly will use it for music listening and movies watching.

And can the above mentioned speakers be used on laptop with 3.5mm audio out?

Your sound card might be passing white noise / hiss to your VS4121 and also to its earphone connection. Try other speakers or connect the earphone directly to sound card to check. Some FX6021, MX5021 and VS4121 speakers have this annoying hiss, maybe because of the low SNR of these speakers.

VS4121 has a signal to noise ratio of 73dB. It's very low and can easily produce white noice/hiss unless your soundcard has really 0dB hiss. You can also check your VS4121 by hooking it straight into any dvd or cd or mp3 player and check if it really generates hiss.

Try The AL VS3151 r..Dunno if they alredi stop selling it but its not too bad for a 5.1

i have been using it 4 the past 7 months n i have to admit that 4 decent price at that time this was a good buy

The satelites are rather decent, but the centre speaker a lil bit under power laa...Woofer aso so so cuz its a friggin small unit..

Compared to the Edifier R501 Mk11 this unit has a better finishing and a more visible surround sound effect thou wen it comes to bass the edifier eats this woofer up

But if ur into movies n music ony than the

Altec Lansing Vs 3151r is a slightly better choice

P S : The Hissing Sound is Exists in this set aso...I think Altec alredi add the hissing sound as part of their new speaker set up redi

Check out this link 4 info on the 3151r

Hi guys, the picture below is my current setup.

user posted image

As the woofer is actually sitting on a wooded platform under the table, will its position affect the woofer's performance? If so, how would you all recommend me to relocate my woofer? Currently using VS4121. Thanks in advance. smile.gif

Btw, I'm planning to buy Philips PSC805. Is it advisable for me to upgrade to this soundcard?(currently using on-board soundcard). Will a better soundcard give a boost to my speaker's performance? smile.gif

ur woofer should not be placed in a closed area especially under the table. most of the ppl do this mistake.. they think the scene of table shaking when u listening to the songs is cool.. sigh.. cry.gif
try to put the woofer at the open space.

my friend pairs up aurilium with vs4121... it did improve the sound, especially the bass, tighter..
but overall it's not a very significant improvement..

basicaly, different soundcard, different usage, different sound :
aurilium -> pure music
SB series -> gaming

i think better if u put ur sub on the floor, not the table. for soundcard, if u dont want to upgrade ur speaker soon, no need to change the soundcard. i tried vs4121+psc805 before, just a little improvement only. not worth for rm200

I see. Thanks for commenting on my setup, yeahs4.1 and chocobee_2707. Will try to rearrange my setup as my woofer is producing humming sound when music is played..

Also, if I'm going to upgrade my speakers, which model do you all recommend? I will mostly listen to music and also watching movies plus a bit of gaming. smile.gif

i used to own altec lansing 2100 and it is the best speaker i've own. i sold it to get a logitech 5.1 and its nowhere near the quality of 2100. i wanted to get 5100 but its rare in australia. the closest thing i could get is 4100 but i wanted the fifth channel for movies

intruder alert. this is altec lansing fans club lah....

PS : for me, i think MX5021 sounds much more better than klipsch
klipsch is just like car audio. boomy bass all over the way.
narrow sound stage some more.

AM2100 user here, i think 4100 is a better buy because the remote has more functions like bass level controller and etc..subwoofer is better also... i think i will go for 4100 if i were to buy speakers...

i really like how the 2100 looks and sound. not bad speaker. it's sound stage is very wide.probably as wide as mx5021

I'm using the predecessor of the ADA 305s, the ACS 495 USB Speakers. Haha, USB speakers are pretty rare. I still prefer the analog out from my AV-710 anyway.

Anyone here owns an ADA 106? I use my ADA 106 for my TV, its really an excellent yet extinct speaker.

Hie hie,

ACS 45.1 use for the past 7 years. Haha, I think this speaker alone can have it's own fan club, put into hall of fame already.

Already changed 3 sounds cards ensoniq->live value-> audigy 2zs. But this speaker still going strong wink.gif . Sorry my ACS 45.1 for dropping u a few times.. but ur one tough feller and can probably work ok for the next 7 years smile.gif) hahahaha

Pros: Solid build. Good bass and treble and nearly no distortion at high volume.

Cons:
No tweeter... so the treble doesn't go as high as i would like.
bass goes haywire when you plug this to your TV, i dunno y also.

It's better of course, my cousin has it, the midrange and highs are better and this one has a higher RMS for the subwoofer and it goes really deep. Not bad, it's worth considering, don't just take my word for it, go and audition a pair for yourself. You'll get what I mean. thumbup.gif

CS21 and MX5021 are both in the upper range, the price is definitely much higher but you'll never get them at half price during pc fair because the prices are pretty constant over all these years.

Bro,

Some shops are even selling at RM480 lah, you're lucky if you can nego until RM440, that is if you know the shop very well. RM400 is not possible lah, not for this model.

I think that's listed under the "Professional" range of Altec Lansing speakers.. almost similar-specced with FX6021 but without that much power... doh.gif

i think he said laptop doesnt have a decent soundcard. laptop uses on board soundcard. the sound quality is bad compared to others soundcard that pluged into those desktop's slot. so, there is a solution for laptop user which is using ac external soundcard via usb connection.

If you say this speaker not loud enough then something wrong with you lah, it has a power rating higher than my MX5021 ler, even for my MX5021, my mother keeps on telling me to lower the volume whenever I play my games. doh.gif You sure you have cranked up the volume for your sound card, ar?

if the sound chip and all of its required components are integrated onto the motherboard, then it isnt a sound card anymore, is it? laugh.gif

i think what it is called [onboard audio] is a more accurate description [instead of onboard soundcard].

the philips aurilium is an external sound card and if im not mistaken it costs around 150-250bucks. there's also an external 0404 though i doubt it'd be suitable for most speakers out there...

good luck

Depends... know what you want to achieve n know what you are doing...
Anyway, winamp very own EQ isnt tad good after all...

But if your option are limited, you can opening Volume Control panel and turn on advance controls, see if the bass n treble setting is available. If not then just alter winamp EQ la.

For a start, if you wanna lower singer voice, can do so by reducing EQ ranges from 1k, 2k, and 4k. If you wanna lower those tingling equipment, then reduce 12k, 16k and 20k. Not necessary need to have a V shaped. Just lower it enough not to degrade the original song too much. Honestly dont lower 500Hz too much... it also effect the vocal. Male singer will sound a bit like female losing the bassy vocal that many males singer has.

Oh.. dont forgot to adjust the bass knob behind the subwoofer to around 1 or 2 o'clock position...

nope... it's on a general basis..

usually the 50-300Hz frequencies are reproduced by the sub-woofer unit.. 500Hz - 3kHz ranges are usually reproduced by mid-range drivers.. and 10k-20+kHz frequencies are reproduced by tweeters.. thus adjusting these respective bands on the EQ will affect the frequency response of the speakers..

Actually like Ati Bob said, can be used on all model...
Becos you complained about bass being overpowered, thus I recommend that you turn it up a little bit more. Turning up even more like to maximum level is not recommended, but it can be done. Just scare it will haf damaging effect if used for long time (becos when set too high n being played loud, once it cross the border of what it can achieve, all it does is burrrp,burrrp...). I haf used several AL model like ACS45.1, ACS 48, and MX5021. If you set it to around half or less, it plays nice if you play loud but when you play it loud, the sub already capped by the knob thus it's thumping only increased to a level the knob permits.

Come to think of it, Altec should have used a larger bass driver since there's still amp power to drive larger speakers. laugh.gif

I dont think there's enough power to drive those bigger driver. Besides, you would also need to build a bigger box which add to extra cost. If you feed a driver with less than sufficient power, it doesnt sound like it should.

I suggest you go n try it out yourself...
The cone that MX5021 is using isnt the same paper cone like many speaker are using. It makes it sound brighter a little bit, and also reduces a lot of bassy vocal from a male singer. So some singer esp those english rock songs like air supply etc sounds a bit weird. But having said that, not all songs are affected, only a small amount of them. It plays well with most if not all of female vocal.

Hi guys. I would like to say I'm also an Altec Lansing owner, but for now, I'm only an ex-owner. I have an Altec Lansing ADA885 that I bought in 2004. For some reason, I do not get any sound through the speakers when using any of the sound modes. The only way I can get sound is when I plug a headphone to the headphone jack.

I suppose this question has been done to death before, but who can I ask to repair the speaker? I already enquired Altec Lansing before, and disappointingly, they replied that they no longer manufacture the speaker; thus, I will have to go about repairing them on my own. Any leads on where I can go for repairs?

I never know EP got people like you who are willing to spend >RM 400 to get a speaker. Most of them are satisfied with their Sonic Gear/Eacan speaker(No offense, its just that different people have different needs).

Offhand, about 8 or more other treads with fanboyism posts.
ATP3 sounds different as the woofer is downward firing. It can have a lot of boom if facing a concrete hard floor. Highly suggested to have some damping material underneath and thereon adjusting the height/space underneath can achieve different results.

The direction woofers fire makes a lot of different in the overall character eventhough the specs and components are similar.

smile.gif ya i'm doing that with my sub. I placed some rags under it. But then the bass is still too much eventhough i turned the bass knob to minimum.

As for a comparison on atp3, 4121, and 4221, i still find atp3's sounded nicer especially on music. I'm not so sure whether AL used different drives in 4121 and 4221 though.

Right!. All are designed to perform best at that price point, can't and won't expect too much and obviously a personal preference.
Nevertheless, some speaker sets can be modded and tweaked for better performance, some can, some cannot. tongue.gif

usually i prefer listen song with all EQ and dfx off. i found it is more natural and beautiful.
if on eq, especially software EQ. it will some how shrink sound stage and the "fullness" of the midrange. sound very metal/ digital..

smile.gif if your speakers is good enough to produce accurate music, then there's no point tuning the equalizers. For me i just set all EQ to flat and turn my bass knob to minimum.

EMU0404 you can get it from ALL IT. The price is RM500+ smile.gif Manufacturer is from Creative, but this is not average Joe's card though... they don't label it "Professional" for nothing. If you were to get this card, be prepared to fork out another RM100 to get a custom breakout as the 0404 doesn't come with standard 3.5mm jack.

Hi, all AL fans... hows life going on? so glad to get so many replies from you all... well, probably you can share what you paired your speaker with and probably its settings...

for me..

SB Audigy 2 -> MX5021 -> Rock -> TTplayer (Direct Sound)

hehe... i always feel a set of MX5021 is not enough... thinking to get another set of MX5021 to upgrade my pc to 4.2 .... tongue.gif

smile.gif i'm very sure the 0404 is from Creative though, as i still have the original box which bears the "Creative" name on it. Maybe Creative bought up this E-MU company years ago.

My box is same with this except the Japanese wordings

akabane drjacker's EMU is from EMU brand itself
i did some search and found out, that creative bought over the whole EMU company and comes creative EMU Series, while before this creative were famous for it's live series.
and IMHO, the built quality of EMU brand looks better than Creative version of EMU.
and some review also conclude that EMU from EMU is better than EMU from creative.. WTF i am talking.. laugh.gif

Thread starter, put me in the list
i have TWO acs295, and one ATP3

no. normally sound card will use standard 3.5mm mini stereo plug, which is sort of Universal for all headphone / earphone.
though some headphone might come with big stereo plug (1/4" Stereo)
but they will comes with adapter so that u can plug it into3.5mm
some special soudcard like ESI / EMU0404 uses some different plugs, ESI using standard RCA line out, and emu0404 has it own custom breakout which built from D9 (serial port) plug.

but nothings else to worry, u can buy speaker, then change the cable.
for good example, i had sold some EMU0404 D9 breakout, and some Stereo-Rca plug for people use with AEGO M (which takes RCA) and stereo-stereo (standard speaker-sound card) and some RCA-RCA (ESI to Aego M).

hope this help.
normally we see RCA out, Stereo out, and on EMU0404 is D9 out, EMU1212 is phono plug (Big Mono plugs)
however, except EMU, RCA and stereo out is very common (perhaps 98% in the market, and can be changes through cable easily, and widely available.)
while EMU0404 and EMU1212 is a bit rare, but still common plugs we can find and do it ourself incase the plugs is damage/ missing.
so
Teorically, all sound card can support ALL speaker
except u can't put a 7.1 speaker into a 5.1 soundcard.
or EMU0404 (stereo, 2.0/2.1) into edifier R501 MKII (5.1) else u will only get two channel sound.

no problems.
but it's not how many channel u should put in first place. normally people will buy soundcard according to it's sound quality.
and the spec. because most of sound card in market is mostly 5.1 already.

if you use 5.1 soundcard for 2.1 speakers, you won't get to hear surround sound as "front left/right and rear left/right" channels will be produced by your 2 satellites only. You'll have a clearer picture if you imagine yourself using a pair of headphones - you can hear surround sound delivered from the left and right driver, but not front and rear channels.

i'm not sure whether 5.1/7.1 soundcards perform well with 2.1 speakers, and i don't know is there any good surround soundcards around. Perhaps i would say if you plan to upgrade to surround sound in future time, getting a multi-channel soundcard will be a better choice for you. But for most of us here, stereo cards suit us the best.

if u has a chance, go and have a listen. it's tend to emphasis slightly on mid range.
does not mean it only produce mid range, and has bass and treble weak...
it's treble and bass is consider one of the best already.

I saw the latest Altec Lansing FX4021, it was a tad more expensive than MX5021 but I was wondering how good is the sound quality, the shop refused to let me listen to it unless I wanted to buy. Any comments on this new model? How does it compare?

No wonder the shop didn't wanna let me listen to it lah. Hahaha. Really got prawn behind the stone lah. (Ada Udang Disebalik Batu). The subwoofer looked like a dustbin to me and the speakers looked like midgets. I search everywhere but so far only found one review but that person seemed to say that the bass is decent but not that great or overpowering. rclxub.gif

Calling all MX5021 owner..

mind to share how you place your speakers and its setting?

Probably can arrange this way..
sound card -> setting -> software -> setting -> arrangement

my humble arrangement will be:
SB Audigy 2 value -> nope -> ttplayer -> nope -> satelites are wall mounted (slightly higher than my ear level) and sub at left hand side, near corner.

Maybe by sharing this way of arrangment, we can have better way of experiecing the musics....

#3 NBTD... EMU0404 -> PcWork's custom breakout -> LD2+ -> ATP3 laugh.gif

player is fb2k, no EQ no ReplayGain etc. atp3 sats under my desk, near to sub (yeah i know the placement suxor but who cares? I'm not bothered with it anyway tongue.gif )

My cousin wants to buy either VS4121 or VS4221, I know besides the remote control and additional 4 watts of power for the VS4221, I see that the drivers are virtually the same. I heard VS4121 before but not VS4221 and most shops don't have it own display. So, any comments pretty much appreciated, how does VS4221 compare to VS4121.

Mine is on an A2ZS, no equaliser or tweaking software used. Right now, they're just sitting on both ends of my desk as far apart as possible.

Can you show pics of your setup? Would like to know what they look like wall mounted. smile.gif

Future plans... I know my sub sounds a heck of a lot better from one corner of my room, so maybe one day I'll find time and upgrade to longer, better cables to reposition it.

Hi !

AL 621, AL CS21, AL 251 & AL ATP3 Here!

haha...Don't ask me why so many but in the courase of upgrade, got so many....

As to preference...still prefer listening to the AL621. Damn...these got the best speakers so far....coupled with a Prodigy soundcard, its as close to reference speakers as you can get.

No lah, where got kutuk pulak, I thought two same subwoofers baru balance mah since the frequency of your bass will be equal. You can try getting Logitech Z-5300, the bass quite strong and maybe suit your taste lah. Listen and see lor, you might like it. thumbup.gif

I think it is around RM800 or below, it's a 5.1 system lah and z-2300 also quite good, THX certified, the subwoofer is box and housed in a wooden cabinet, very solid bass, if you pandai nego, I think RM530 can get it lah. Depends on your nego skills lah. rclxms.gif

I was referring to Z-2300, sorry to confuse ya, most shops selling around RM570 like that lah but if you know how to nego, RM530 is possible, I'm sure their profit margin is a lot because I've worked in a pc shop before during my college years. Altec Lansing ATP 3 even selling at RM179 (last time's pricing), the profit margin is around RM25+, imagine that? That's why PC fair also even they lelong the prices, it's still quite profitable too. CS21 if I'm not mistaken, the cost price is around RM375 to RM385 like that but most shops selling around RM430 or more, right? That's why pc shops can open in big shopping malls whereby the rental costs thousands per month. The place I've worked before last time, they earn about RM20K to RM30K per month, yeah, net profit. Crazy, huh? My salary not more than RM1.5K because part-timer mah. cry.gif

No lah, now not related to the shop liao, it was about 5 years ago when I worked there. I can tell you frankly the profits are pretty good for computer hardwares, if they tell profit margin is low, they're bluffing you lah. One shop, only sell Altec Lansing speakers in Penang, can afford to pay RM8K montly shop rentail. You can count and see how much money they make, I guess one day sell one or two pairs of speakers also enough liao. rclxub.gif

Of course, I got my circle of friends working or opening computer shops lah that can give me special prices. I can't say who or which shop lah, that's a secret but it's possible to get such prices especially in Low Yat when the competition is even greater than Penang, they wouldn't make making a few ringgit just to close a sale.

ATP3's subwoofer more softer than CS21 ler, really tak sesuai for your taste, you should try Logitech Z-2300, Altec Lansing MX5021 is okay but not a big leap from your CS21 lah so better stick back with Logitech or that Klipsch 2.1 GMX speakers, these two famous for hard hitting bass, I guess that's what you want, right? But are slightly more expensive than CS21, tengok macam mana lor, if you really want a powerful subwoofer, it's best to get a dedicated Home Theatre punya subwoofer lor. smile.gif

Well, if you want bass, then do get a HT subwoofer and it can partner with any speakers, whether big or small as the subwoofer has adjustable bass level, high cut level and also bass type (for movie or music), for Yamaha subwoofers, other brands have other controls for you to tweak the subwoofer to your liking, I mean more things to play lah if compared to normal pc sound systems, AL only allow you to adjust the loudness of the subwoofer and that's all, you can't do much with it. I guess you agree with my point of view, no lah, I'm not bashing AL, I'm a supporter of AL too. But for the price comparison, AL is really value for money to be honest. thumbup.gif

I wanted to recommend you by malangnya, all the international sites can't be surf but got a solution lah, you can go to MPH, Times or Popular bookstore, you can read those Hi-Fi magazines, they have reviews on all types of subwoofer, I mean better than nothing lah, it will take a few weeks to restore the cables so in the meantime, you can read some of the reviews and specs from the magazines. Better than nothing I guess. sweat.gif

RCA is the standard audio cables from your dvd player, PS2, XBOX, etc. Some Altec Lansing speakers come with the RCA to 3.5 mm adaptor to allow you to connect to such devices. smile.gif

Yeah, shouldn't be if both types are of the same quality. Sometimes, the interconnects have an impact on the sound which is most often overlooked.

The 3.5 mm cable is the one connected to your pc's sound card, the slim wire, the fatter wires are connector to your speakers.

You just need a stereo to stereo cable, correct me if i'm mistaken.
I'm using a MX5021 too, with PcWork stereo to stereo cable, attached to an Audigy 2 ZS.
I'm very happy with the sound, compare to the stock cable of course.

AL has those USB powered speakers for your lappy but they're more expensive but they're portable of course. If I'm not mistaken, they're in the range of RM200 to RM300. If you're not looking for portable ones, maybe you can let us know whether you want a 2.0 or a 2.1 system and of course, your budget. smile.gif

Go for ATP3, at around RM165~RM170.
The other baki i think you can get a Philips PC805.
With this combo you can get a very nice sound quality on music playback.

Are you referring to the XT1 and XT2 USB powered AL lappy speakers? You can refer to the link below with the suggested retail price in Malaysia from all AL speakers from Ban Leong but normally, you can nego for 10% to 15% discount from outside. Hope this helps. smile.gif

Who care if it is an old speaker.
Good speaker is a speaker, don't care if it is a old or new production.

afaik there are 2 batches of atp3, the former with higher power output. But nowadays all atp3s in the market are lower power ones. My atp3 is 3 years old, still working fine. Cheap plastic? Nope they seems durable to me. Cheap SQ? Yea, my SR80 and LD2+ beats the crap out of it. But RM170 VS RM800, atp3 still wins with its price/performance ratio.

No special sound card actually, I'm using my mobo's built in sound card. Kinda surprised, huh? But I'm being very honest but it sounded good enough for me so I don't see why I needed a better sound card. Well, I've changed my original AL MX5021 wiring to Van den Hul CS122 Hybrid speaker cables, 1m around RM65. I've changed the wiring inside the subwoofer as well. The bass is now tighter and the midrange and highs sounded less restraint, more open and less dry. I know the speaker cables cost a bomb but I'm happy with my DIY project, I'm using this cables for my HT set so I'm quite pleased with the sound quality. smile.gif

Okay, troubles occured, i mean me.
What's a Van den Hul CS122 Hybrid speaker cable?
In simple is it a Stereo to Stereo cable?
If yes, i also changed it already.
I use PcWork DIY cable, the name show be Carane, or something like that.
And how you changed the wiring inside the subwoofer?
Very interested to know.

You can google it my friend, it's a high quality 5 star cable, it's an audiophile cable actually. Pricey but gives good sound. Many people heard of VDH to be honest.

I think MX5021 is being phased out in the US market.. check the US website, they still list it, but it stated there as 'outdated'... blink.gif

IMO, get FX6021 instead.
Cause more cables choice, can use stereo output, and RCA output.
I think RCA would be nicer than stereo.

Dun panic, it will be a while before it is phased out here. Why do I say so? Well, like AL ATP 3, is has been phased out for a long time in other countries but you can still get a new one here and it's still available here. I highly doubt that MX5021 will disappear from the market just like that and many shops still selling it so don't worry. smile.gif

Well, FX6021 is a little too sharp for my liking but there's a successor to FX6021 in the US and it is priced around RM1000 plus but not available here yet. Shocking price but I don't really know how does it sound like, hopefully, it's audiophile quality.

Why not sending it back to Ban Leong to get it repaired, they're the authorized distributor of Altec Lansing products in Malaysia. You can go to their website and and find their contact details.

Confirmed one unit.. should be arriving around the middle of January... whistling.gif wish.gif

The FX6021 'successor' model is PT6021.. from specs, it has a lower power rating than the FX6021.. and I'd remember it is listed under professional audio section some time ago... shocking.gif

*edit*
found the official PT6021 page..
http://www.alteclansing.com/product_details.asp?pID=PT6021

The 'professional audio' version SLS6221 page is here..
http://www.altecpro.com/products/powered/index.htm

strangely, they both look similar and have similar specs... sweat.gif

ACS 295 and ACS 45.1 is not even brought in by ban leong... =P not sure the company exits or not during that time.



recently i open back my ATP3 from box.. and had an listening session, and i found out that song comming out from the ATP 3 has more "plastic" sound than my recent hear speaker (even compare to an oldies sony speaker (2.0) i got from saunato.)
and people singing from ATP 3 seems like having slight running nose.. =P not sure it's damage or not, but i gived the ATP 3 to my eldest brother for gaming purpose.
through observation, the unit is working prefectly find, no cable degradation and so on.. =) not even a scratch on it.


and the PT6021 is no different with an usual FX6021 except for the universial remote control that included in the package.

Huh, VDH Clear Water RM74 per meter? That's crazy, for this price I could get CS122 instead. Clear Water lacks of bass, suitable for classical pieces and it's still a four star rated cable, I'm using CS122 for HT system and AL too. The bass is significantly tighter with better mids and highs. It might be an overkill but I love my AL MX5021 even though it's just a pair of pc speakers. Hahaha.

I think you're saying that ATP 3 sounds boomy right? The bass is like covered under a pillow, not the type of tight, hard hitting and well defined bass. Of course, ATP 3 is an entry level unit so we can't really expect much from it but it goes quite loud for a speaker this size. I had one last time. I guess about 8 years ago but gave them to my cousin.

The PT6021 actually have the same specs with FX6021 but I guess the enclosure is probably different or maybe better microdrivers are used but it's around RM1350 if I'm not mistaken. A bit pricey unless it sounds like audiophile quality then the price is justified.

I managed to get a chance to listen to Altec Lansing's FX5051 latest usb 5.1 speakers, the sound sadly is so so because the it lack the type of bite I was expecting from a 5.1 speakers. Not so suitable for watching movies, the dialogue is not that clear and the directional effects are quite poor. I guess I'll prefer Logitech's Z-5500 instead. The FX5051 is not available locally, my friend ordered one set from Singapore as a sample because the local distribution will be selling it soon. He's probably trying to audition a set first so because these speakers are not returnable so imagine if he ordered 10 and nobody wants them, he'll even suffer more losses. I guess besides CS21 and my MX5021, the latest AL models are a big letdown. The FX4021 wasn't that great either, the subwoofer was harsh when driven very loudly. Sounded like it's going to crack or something. Scary.... sweat.gif

Well, I'm afraid you can't because the CS21 is using fixed connectors unless you can find someone to DIY for you, the reason I bought MX5021 was because the speaker cables are upgradeable. Anyway, the cables alone won't give you better bass, maybe a sharper and less boomy bass but definitely not a louder bass. Anyway, I've asked around for you but sadly, there no pc subwoofers available seperately that suit your musical taste. Sorry Bro, I did try asking for you.

check where's the bass reflex port. Place your sub at a corner of your room, on a solid floor (no carpet please). Then the reflex port should face outwards, not towards the walls.

Words can't compare to your ear.
Go audition yourself, the result would be better.
I believe ALL IT has both of them.

Calling all MX5021 users: Share your point here to maximize MX5021 performance.

1) Are you having black or white colour set of speaker?

2) How you configure your speaker?

3) How you pair your speaker?


for me:
1) I own a black set of MX5021.
2) I set my sub at 2/5, treble at 3/5. I put my sub at the corner of my room on a solid floor, facing outside. My satelites are mounted on the wall, slightly higher than my ear level. i have changed my satelite cable to reduce the sharpness.
3) I pair my speaker this way: Sb Audigy 2 value -> ttplayer -> MX5021.

Thankx.

Well, I'm afraid you can't because the CS21 is using fixed connectors unless you can find someone to DIY for you, the reason I bought MX5021 was because the speaker cables are upgradeable. Anyway, the cables alone won't give you better bass, maybe a sharper and less boomy bass but definitely not a louder bass. Anyway, I've asked around for you but sadly, there no pc subwoofers available seperately that suit your musical taste. Sorry Bro, I did try asking for you.

Narkon, long time never hear from you my friend. Mana lu pergi pulak? I thought you have forgotten about us. The subwoofer I oledi ask but mostly too mahal lah, it's even more expensive than Aego M so not worth buying it unless you wanna tarik your budget more than RM1K. As for the cables, really cannot tukar lor, if MX5021 no problem lah but CS21 you need to DIY so if anything rosak, cannot claim warranty already.

What's ur budget? I have used Cable Talk 4 audiophile cables if that's what you want? Of course, if you want a brand new one, I'll recommend you to get VDH CS122 hybrid speaker cables, RM70 per metre, the sound quality will blow you away. Of course got other brands lah, just that I prefer VDH. nod.gif

hmm.gif ....... RM530? I thought it's not a problem to get them at this price because I bought mine from Gadgetzone, Penang at this price but of course, I know their ahem ...... boss lah. Try going to Low Yat lor, should be able to get it lah. I think my friend bought it from Cycom or C-Zone, I couldn't remember lah, it's either one this shop. But in Selangor, I really dunno lor.

I'm using a DIY staquad.
Really come compare to the stock cable.
Ask from EFN, he's doing this cable.
Suggest you call him, he rarely online one.

Thanks for the recommendation. Btw, I still do not know how the DIYed cables work. Is it ok for you to post some pics to show how do they look like connected to your MX5021. Btw, normally how many meters needed? Thanks. smile.gif

Look like a normal cable only.
Just different in quality.
You can check the DIY Cable thread for more pictures.
About the length, depend on you lo.
2 meters normally is enough already.

Well, use your finger nail to ply it open, not too difficult but when it's new, it's harder to remove, that's normal, not to worry. Without the grill, the sound is slightly better. drool.gif

I'd try it when I'm free.. But I think i'll be leaving it on most of the times because dust might stain the drivers and the surface.. plus I don't want my friends poking the drivers out of the sudden.. bruce.gif laugh.gif

Okay.. my initial comments on the MX5021.. just after a few hours of usage..

First impressions of the speakers to me was how big and impressive the whole set looks, although it wasn't that big if u really measure it.. maybe I just wasn't used to seeing big speakers or probably it was placed next to other dwarf-lings.. laugh.gif

Placement of the sub isn't what you call a wall hugging setup already.. it's a few feet from the walls, but still at near-corner position.. sats are placed around 3 feet apart, and 3 feet from me..

Onto test drive.. using my own Acer TravelMate 3202XCi laptop.. currently still using the onboard AC'97 sweat.gif for testing purposes.. due to my weekend break from school.. the speaker will be paired with PSC805 real soon.. whistling.gif

Played a few MP3's, FLAC and CDs.. techno/electronic music sounds different on the Altec when compared to my old Edifier X600 boomer.. the bass is more taut/tight.. but I can get used to that.. nod.gif But some tracks does sounds nicer and have a more controlled bass compared to X600 bass (I know it's unfair to judge by these two, but that's what I've had before MX5021.. tongue.gif) while some tracks the lower end seems to be less noticable and the mids/highs are just sharp.. nice, but can be annoying after long period of listening. unsure.gif

Tried some oldies CDs.. they just sound clear and nice.. with emphasis on the vocals.. can't really comment much coz they're oldies.. and they sound they sounded just like what it should sound.. (whatever that means..) laugh.gif

Rock songs seems to be a little too harsh on the MX5021.. some of the softer snares seems recessed into the background (maybe recording error?)..

All in all, I'd prefer to have the treble turn a little less than half of the max.. and bass at the level 3-4.. but turned up to 5 when I need the oomph.. thumbup.gif
The bass produced gives more low end thump than a hum.. and with so much power under the hood, I didn't notice it was already so loud (can hear the bass and vocals clearly outside my room and downstairs) that my ears started to get a little painful just with 2-3/5 volume levels.. (Windows settings at ~50%)..

and the sound stage is really nice.. compared to X600.. and watched an episode of DVD-quality Happy Feet, the bass doesn't kick in in places that X600 starts to hum.. but in scenes like the part where mumble was alone and attacked by the seals (was that a seal? laugh.gif), the low thumps are really nice.. and vocals are very clear.. almost too sharp (initially with the treble turned a little too high) that I still had to leave the treble not more than 3 steps..

Will continue using it for a while and unite it with PSC805 soon laugh.gif

more comments coming soon.. icon_rolleyes.gif

The speakers need to warm up first, after a few hundred hours, the sound will be more open and the bass won't be too stiff and artificial. Believe me, you'll notice the difference, just keep on feeding it with some music and movies. rclxms.gif

I knew about the whole 'burn in' habit of most speaker enthusiast.. been there, done that.. so I'd agree burning in does gives it a 'more complete' sound.. nod.gif

so i'm planning to play it as usual first.. maybe turn up the volume a bit for some head banging session.. laugh.gif see if the bass and treble is more 'relaxed'.. smile.gif

Got it in Sarawak.. A black coloured unit.. retail pricing here is around RM600 for MX5021.. really expensive due to the transportation fees added in... doh.gif But I've got mine a little bit cheaper.. rolleyes.gif

I really admire the looks.. biggrin.gif and the sound is still a little iffy at the moment.. need to give it some time to burn in.. smile.gif

Dunno how to explain.. hehe.. something that i'm not used to.. probably because of too much listening to my old Edifier X600 set.. tongue.gif

Overall is a good set.. the bass is similar to the old ACS45.1 system.. a very low end thump (maybe the result of low crossover point) but is more defined and more 'accurate' laugh.gif..

plus the mids and treble are good.. still in the process of burning in.. smile.gif

I'm also interested to get one for myself.

Has anyone surveyed the price of the MX5021 in MidValley? I hope to get at around RM530-RM550 icon_question.gif

Seems like the price had been hiked a little compared to last year.. doh.gif

Little Dot 2+? I thought it's an headphone amp?

In my opinion, you should pair it to an amp that has more midrange and treble warmth since MX5021 has a little too much treble and mids emphasis to my taste.. so it's more listen-able all-rounder.. tongue.gif

Probably I'm just not used to speakers emphasising on mids and treble.. biggrin.gif

LD2+ is a headamp, and it can be used as pre-amp too. the primary usage of ld2+ is still a headamp although it can be used as pre-amp.

anyway, it's not recommended to use a pre-amp to power up an active speaker. active speaker already came with built-in amp to power them up with sufficient gain. adding another pre-amp may over-amplify the multimedia speaker and then cause the sound to become over-whelming. however, i have tried using ld2+ as pre-amp with my s4.1. the pre-amp of ld2+ seems to be quite low-powered and it introduced some 'warm' (valve) sound to my speaker. eventually they sounded nice to my ear.

sorry to budge into the conversation between u two.. whistling.gif

but in my opinion, everyone has their own taste of speakers.. I realise it when I got my own MX5021.. for example.. some might love MX5021 because it has strong mids and highs and a taut bass.. while some like Logitech/Klipsch for its 'rounder' boomier bass reproduction.. so everyone have their own definition of 'best speaker'.. smile.gif

For me, there's no point of up-mixing a stereo source for 5.1 playback right? so if what you do is listening to music, a 2.1 set would be sufficient.. getting a 5.1 setup (together with the cable mess) is only worth if you're serious in surround movies and gaming.. tongue.gif

Heck, for movies that's downloaded from BT sites, they're good enough for 2.1 sets already... laugh.gif

For me, i think it is enough to use 2.1 in a pc... Actually those 5.1 is a complex knowledge... And they are very expensive too... As a student, is hard to buy them... Even for MX5021 also very expensive for a student too... And then plus u have to buy a better soundcard...

If in a bigger room... For me i will set a 5.1... becoz we can enjoy the "BOOM" and the surround... BUT DAMN EXPENSIVE~~!! KEF's speakers plus a Denon's amp... DVD player.... HDTV.... All are $$$$$.....

If I'm not wrong, tweeters are supposed to be responsible for producing high frequency sounds (I think these makes the sound clearer and sharper). Logitech speakers do not have them, thus the sound produced is on the muffled side. smile.gif
