sonic=altec<edifier

altec sux in all models except mx5021.

i'm talking about current models.

their old models are good of course, AL621, AL641, ADA885, ACS45.1.

not at all, i sold it within 2 months.
look for edifier, there are a few better models in this price range.

the problem is that most of the newbies don't care about the muddy bass, as long as it trembles your desk at loud volume will do.
they call it powerful speaker.
