General Caution !! For People buying speaker sets.
People I would Suggest Before Buying Any Altec Lansing Speakers, U should Check out the Original Philips Shipped Directly from Europe.
They r Awsome and nothing like any speakers u have heard.
I don't know about other parts, but it is available in Delhi and i was blown away by the sound of one of the biggest units.
It is a 5.1 Setup with wireless remote.
The Front and Rear channels can be played by independent sources.
The price is somewhere 11500/-
But belive me at this Price Performance Altec Lansing and Creative Loose Hands Down.
There are other models also
2.1 priced at 2500 and 4.1 Priced at 5400/-
And the sound is again much better than the competetion.
Go check it Out People !! Before Wasting ur money in Some Craaaap.

Do you wish to sell or buy this product??? If not, then this is the wrong section for your post. Moving to Hardware.

u want to call creative and altec lansing a crap????
listen man about philips....their sattelites have no midrange quality and bass is just boomy...very average at higher volumes and most of their subs vibrates/cracks at more than 50% of volume....
looks wise too they su*k....
and i dont want to waste too much time writing in this post.....

I agree with the "lack of mid range" comment. I would not trust flat panel speakers (especially multimedia speakers like the Philips ones in the above pic) to produce decent mid tones. When it comes to mid range, I'll keep my Altecs anyday.
Anyway, whether they sound good or not is subjective. It depends on the listener as well as the type of music being played.

GOOD is subjective Tell us exactly what u're looking for -
What will you be using it for - gaming, movies, music...... , what kind of music?....
What does your room look like?....size, resonance characteristics... any restrictions on subwoofer placement?
If you don't mind loose non-punchy muddled bass that's all over the place, go for Creative's as they're cheap.
Or if you're in Delhi and interested in getting something from Philips, visit our good friend Sourabs place (address on top) and "see for yourself"  I believe he has 4.1's for 5.4k, but might agree to get it down to 5k for a fellow digit user
With 5k your choices are limited.

Those techtree reviews just go on to re-affirm what I said before - Poor mids, weak bass.

which is better atp 5 vs altec lansing 251 for gaming.
why is cyber accoustics not good
at newegg or somehwhere a particular model had good reviews or if not good you would sure thing not call them bad.

if ur considering 4.1 for gaming then atp5 is best for ur budget....
if ur considering 5.1 for gaming then altec lansing VS3151 is best for ur budget....
as far as cyber acoustics is concerned i'm not saying that its bad...rather what i'm saying is that forget it!
whats the pt. in buying from a company which is a rip off of a well known manufacturer....their attitude speaks for themselves....
buying from a reputed brand is always better for a long run...as speaker is a type of hardware which is a one time investment, so settle for something good rt. from the start....
ENjoy...
