Product Description
Turn it on, and it roars. The VS4121blk system gets a lot of its power from a long-throw subwoofer that pushes serious bass reproduction into the room. But the down-firing midrange drivers in each speaker are what really make the difference. "Downfiring" meaning they're angled downward toward the table or whatever surface the system is on. And they use that surface for exceptional sound dispersion. It's no wonder Altec Lansing is now issuing the VS4121 in a matte black, 70th Anniversary edition. Good looks. Incredible sound. Plug it into your PC or MP3 player, and you've got the whole package.

Give them a Chance March 3, 2008
Melvin R. Cordova (Port Saint Lucie, FL USA)

The speakers are quite nice looking. The left and right speakers connect independently to the subwoofer, thus giving you more flexibility to put the speakers far away from each other. People have said that the highs are not crisp and that this set has too much bass. That is true, which is the reason for the 4 stars. However, if you place the bass knob to the 9 o'clock possition and the trebble to the 3 o'clock possition, the system performs quite well. Some adjusting to the computer's equilizer is required, but the result is good sound. Amazon had this set cheaper than anywhere else when I purchased them, so good going there Amazon.
 Be careful March 25, 2008

I don't know what i excepted for 85.00.The wire from the remote speaker is built into it and came up a little short for me so i had to buy some extension to make it work where i wanted it.Also the Base is not protected magnectly so put it at least two feet away like the manual directs you to.All in all for what i payed it's not bad.One more thing,i received no quick connect card with the guide.
 Beautiful in Design & Pretty Good Sound as Well! April 28, 2008
Richard Shrum
What first attracted me to the Altec Lansing VS4121 was the design.
Beauty is defined by its understated elegance.
The bass response has "oodles" of it, so those complaining that there isn't enough treble should investigate turning down the bass a bit, and turning up the treble -- that is what the knobs are for ;-)
Guess you can tell -- I recommend it!
I don't recommend July 1, 2008
T. Britt (Charlotte, NC)
I don't recommend these speakers. The two satellites are acceptable, but the sub-woofer is waaaay too 'bassey.' It is also noticeably muddier sounding than my Yamaha sub (same size) in my living room. Furthermore, the one's I received look distinctly more silver than black. The black (as pictured) would have matched my new LCD TV.
I guess I've learned from this, that there are still a few specific items that are safer NOT to purchase online. Overall, not too bad for the price. I just wouldn't buy them again.
Solid Bass Great Mids And Highs - Exceeds Expectations at This Price! July 27, 2008
J. Pruitt (DJ booth)
First off, you should never buy speakers without hearing them, so go to the store and try these out, then come back here and buy them at a cheaper price.
That said, his set of speakers gives you way more than you're paying for.
In the package you get two midrange down-firing speakers that are isolated from surfaces with rubber feet, two tweeters and a subwoofer that could be considered "massive" by computer speaker standards.
The range, definition and frequency response is incredible. Plus the bass output of the subwoofer beats anything else I've tried in their price range.
The subwoofer was able to stand up to the most demanding ultra low frequency bass tests and kept on giving.
The sound output of these speakers is adequate to fill a living room and their sound is surprisingly immersing for a set of 2.1 speakers. Sound is well balanced throughout.
