Terrific value for the moneyby - January 12, 2005

Pros: the c/net review pretty much nails it: crisp highs and good low end for the money (more like $70 than $100 when i researched this product).

Cons: well, it's not a Boston Acoustics set. if you want top-drawer sound, this isn't your system. but, given the price, you already knew that.

Awesome Sound-Small Speakers-Great Bassby - January 12, 2005

Pros: The sattelite speakers are small but create greate clear sound. Controls are right on front and easy to get to. Bass is deep and rich. Best of all these speakers are going cheap on E-bay

Cons: Cons are too little to pass these speakers up. Plastic Molding on top of Bass has broken off both my sets (but does not affect the sound at all, beside the bass is stashed where noone sees it). No headphone jack, but who cares, I have one built into my

Beautiful sound for the moneyby - November 18, 2004

Pros: Great High end speakers for such a low price. Loud enough for personal listening and watching Movies on your dektop, gameplay and more.

Cons: Bass is a pain in the ass, when turned low it still thuds. No damn headphone support, back to Radioshack for my sorry ass.

Cons:

Can't beat em for the priceby - February 17, 2004

Pros: Great value (mine cost 65$) for music lovers. Excellent base that easily fills up a 15x15 room. Easy to connect ad hassle free. Subwoofer powerful enough that it sounds balanced even when placed behind a bookcase/under desk. Sleek modern designed speak

Cons: Still have a hint of tin. Base can overwhelm, especially at low end of volume. No headphone jack, no aux input. Sub is large. 2.1 more suited for music listening than movie watching.

Clear, full sound with warm low end!by - December 30, 2003

Pros: I am very pleased with the sound quality of these speakers. I listen to a lot of jazz (bebop/swing piano trio's) as well as contemporary praise and worship music and it all sounds fantastic! The low end is full, warm, and punchy and the mid and high's ar

Cons: A headphone and line-in jack would have been nice but for the price, I'm not complaining!

Pros: OMG !! this $65 speaker set got the deepest of the deepest bass + crispiest of the crispiest treble. I spent 1 hour at BEST BUY analyzing all the speaker brand/model. ALTEC LANSING sounded the best so I went online and bought one .. only cuz online is al

Cons: i only wish theres LINE-IN on the speaker unit so I can plug-in my mp3 player, but right now i have a "Y" cable connecting BOTH mp3 player and computer sound output into the speaker sound input.

What A Great Buy!by - April 9, 2002

Pros:

Cons:

Review: I recently spent about a week going to Best Buy and Frys listening to tons of speakers. These are the only ones that could satisfy my standards, excluding the 5.1 surround sound from Logitech and Yamaha, which I couldn't afford... Anyone saying they get bad distortion or weak bass and humm/buzzing dosen't know how to EQ. The bass seemed weak to be before I EQd the Winamp Player. Now the bass is as powerful as many higher-end systems. (A nice tip is to turn all software volume down to about 20%, then crank the speakers. You get smoother sound and a LOT less noise) The treble is amazing, translating cymbals and hi-hats perfectly. Mids are lacking but not really noticeable. I have my sub under a desk and it is still quite noticeable in the mix. Dave Matthews Live In Chicago is the best I've ever heard it. Rock On!

It rocks my little room with ease! The two tweeters on each satillite really catch the high-end...down-firing 3" cones on each satillite...VERY NEAT...The sub is really as big as it looks, or bigger! Convienient controls...volume...treble and bass on one of the sats, that's all ya need! Go get these...

Review: A friend of mine bought these speakers, and the first time I looked at them, I laughed. "What a poor sap!" I thought, "He got so ripped off!!" And then he plugged them in. I was blown away, to put it simply. How could a sound so clear be coming from these tiny speakers? So I told him to turn it up. With the volume up well past half, blasting Meat Beat Manifesto, it was still clear! Needless to say, I drove to Best Buy and bought myself a set the same day. Still no complaints. Oh! And their stylish too!

They do not have headphones-jack on them but who cares after you heard them you'll throw that freaky, cranky headphones of yours into the trash-bin!

Pros:

Review: Excellent speakers, overall. I am QUITE IMPRESSED with the mid-range and tweeker output quality, especially considering the size and price. Bass could be a hair better, but I more blame my sound card than the speakers themselves. I am most impressed with the sound quality considering the low-profile and styling of the satellite components! These speakers are most DEFINITELY worth the $60 I paid for them, though NOT the $100 as I have sometimes seen. P.S.: Disappointed in the black-grey color? Try searching for ATP3W.
