Disadvantages: None i don't think.

General: I love Philips products, in my house i have so many Philips products and they have always been great and look fantastic and these PC speakers are no different. They look great, sound great and will fit into any home computer system. Price: I bought them for around £30 new on Amazon and they arrived within two days.

Review of Philips SPA7300

Definate Purchase!!

I looked at a few different speakers, and to be honest, these were not the cheapest available, but i brought them because of the fact that phillips is a brand ...

Review of Philips SPA 1300

Surprisingly accurate amp/speaker combination

Advantages: Great sound, transparent and dynamic , extended bass, plays quite loud, classy looks
Disadvantages: Sensitive to room placement, a little hum and hiss.

Brought these last Christmas as a gift for someone but the packaging box arrived damaged so I thought I’d try them out to ensure they were OK (any excuse!). A few weeks later, I set them up for the other person so I’ve listened to them in two very different systems and rooms over the past year. I don’t think there’s any point in me commenting on aspects you can find out about elsewhere so I’ll try to concentrate on build & sound quality, versatility ...
...compare build quality to decent European hi-fi (rather than cheap computer speakers), I’d say the build quality was adequate but not great although finish of both the satellites and bass box is excellent. Satellite cabinets are made of lightweight plastic. They are shallow (front to back) and not the most stable but they look good. The bass box carcass seems to be made of thin wood and the wireless remote control looks insubstantial and vulnerable. ...

Review of Altec Lansing MX 5021

Funky speakers, with a MASSIVE sound!

Advantages: Good to look at/ Good sound quality
Disadvantages: Huge ammounts of bass

I will start with one of my one and only negative of this product. After opening the box and testing them, one of the speakers didn't work so I had to return them and buy a new set. Despite of this, these speakers are EXCELLENT! They are amazing to look at, and look like they cost a lot of money (which they do, around £60) but they are worth every single penny. I asked for these speakers as a present for my birthday and i am very glad i picked then. ...
...to computers and to TVs and one that is meant for mp3 players or phones. You can also connect headphones directly to the speakers. The sound quality is great! You can adjust volume, bass and treble, although i would recommend keeping the bass turned down if you are living with other people, because even with the bass turned down to nothing, there is still a reasonable ammount. The sound is great, and every song is really clear so if you want a really ...
