I usually play songs with Windows Media Player because it is better than Winamp. I only like to use Windows Media Player because it is the best player, great sound quality output, clean sound and clean bass output and SRS WOW effect make the bass become more powerful and the audio become wider. I did not using any AMS because these programs will make the song you play become worse and dirty.

Below is the setting for VS4121,
Start Windows Media Player 11, go to Now Playing --> Enhancements --> Graphich Equalizer. Do as the setting below.


Go to Quiet Mode, select Medium Difference


Go to SRS WOW Effects, do as settings below


On your VS4121 front right speaker, tune the bass to center and treble to maximum. Play the song and start listening. What is your feel now?

Choose a 320kbps MP3, if better, choose a lossless quality audio to play. Now you listen.

I really dunno what you still need to criticize? The speciality of Altec Lansing is on the satellite speakers but not the subwoofer.
