Hey guys, I need some help here. Hope you guys can assist me.

I have an Altec Lansing 251 5.1 system (yes, yes I know it sarks ) and recently, the center speaker isn't giving out any sound (well, it does, VERY the EXTREMELY softly) and the other 4 speakers recently(yesterday ) started showing signs of cracking.

My questions are as follows:

1. Is it possible to replace/repair the center speaker alone? Bought them in '05 so I don't think it's under warranty anymore.
2. Would it be worth it to get the system repaired(if it can even be done ) or just to get a new system?

All replies are appreciated. Thanks.

But the speakers themselves sound cracked, could they be saved(I'm thinking no but just to reconfirm)?

Problem is that for "easy installation cables", each satellite has it's own head, which prevents me from testing different ports.

Well, cracks are audible on certain ranges. Aih.

Alright. Will try polishing them and see.

Kay guys if I were to get a new 2.1 for everyday use (music, gaming, movies, in that order ), would the good ol' Altec Lansing AS4121 suffice?

Interesting. Roughly how much would they cost? RM200-ish?

Thanks for the info. Any recommended shops to get it from?

Ah. A'ight then. Will try ALL IT in Digital Mall, nearer for me. Malas to go all the way down to LYP.


Is it that bad? Heard it lacks mostly midtones.

Haha one of my friends have that(the VS4121). Will try out the M3300.

Thanks for the suggestions guys!
