Bought these as replacement speakers for my PC. Easy to set up and sounds like a dream. Good clear sounds from all three speakers. The bass in particular is excellent and very powerful. Can deliver clear speech as well as music. The satellite speakers are excellent considering their size.
Having had these speakers for a little while now, the only fault I can find is that when you turn the bass volume down, it emits an audible hum which is hugely annoying. Therefore, when watching films/programs, you either have to put up with the audible hum or ridiculous amount of bass. There doesn't seem to be any mid point between no hum and ridiculous bass.
Overall, highly recommended. Excellent sound quality, good price and looks great!

Quick review of Altec Lansing VS 4121
I'm not at all happy with my VS4121. But again, I'm not happy with any speaker that relfects the mid frequencies on a surface. A lot of detail is lost with this design. And I just can't live witht the annoying hum and the wild bass of this thing. No sefl-respecting recording engineer would ever approve of a speaker system with this kind of bottom-heavy setup--it's totally unbalanced. When speaker manufacturers give-in to the uneducated taste of consumers, the product is no different from illegal substances: "Never mind if it kills them as long as their happy and we're making lots of money." Speaker maufacturers should educate their clients, not make a fortune out of their ignorance. ...

Advantages: Good sound Disadvantages: Mid sound wavesare not heard
...down, rembering me on the Altec Lansing series of the ATP-3 with the design similar satellites. The lack of this type of design is mid sound wavesare not heard directly but the reflection, so that cause unsynchronized phase. However this design has advantages, namely voice sounded mid evenly throughout the room. Each satellite has two microdriver to handle the high frequency and a driver for the midrange-frequency middle. This unique design is able ... ...which the microdriver listener, and all the drivers' work together "to produce sound. The key volume, treble, and bass and the power placed in the right satellite. Satellite is designed to be placed on the table. Satellite location must be easily be reached in order to facilitate the setting. The characters sound quite natural satellites, uniform frequency response frequency of medium to high. No peak frequency that makes the speakers sound "bad" ...

Manufacturer's product description
When it comes to awesome performance in a compact design, few speaker systems compare to the VS4121. You've got to hear it to believe it. The tweeters sing with crisp, clear highs, while a unique, down-firing midrange driver in each satellite uniformly disperses sound around the room - creating a warmer, more natural ambiance. The long-throw woofer brings out the thumps and bumps that make listening to music, watching movies and playing games truly intense. This versatile and compact system fits anywhere - and sounds great everywhere.
