Altec Lanisng

2.1 Speaker: AVS 300 - Rs. 1300
4.1 Speaker: AVS 400 - Rs. 2400

If you want to go for a better 2.1 Speaker under 2000 then buy Creative Inspire cost Rs 1800 -1900 .

2.1 denotes 2 channel Speaker i.e. there will be 2 speaker with a subwoofer. & not the Watts.

Always judge the Speaker by its RMS and not PMPO Watts. 40
watts of RMS is a good place to start.

Creative Inspire 2.1 is not a good performer.STAY AWAY!

Also,altec prices especially in delhi have shot up and are likely to shoot further due to lack of materials or something i think.

go for altec lansing atp3 for about 3k if you don't have money to invest in better 2.1 or 5.1.

going for normal 2.1 and saving ew hundreds may make you regret later.

@akshayt:

I am using a Altec Lansing 621 which I thought is best 2.1 speaker
among them but it cost Rs. 6900.

I agree with u that ATP3 is a excellent speaker in his range . But it exceed his budget .

So i suggest him Creative Inspire as it is under 2k & will be better than Altec Lansing AVS300.

I have BYTE XPS 2.1 (2950 PMPO) purchased for Rs.2650/- a year earlier.

The sound quality of this set is much-much better than creative 2.1. It has got good treble and deeeeeeper bass. Can't compare with Altec's sets because i have never listen to them.

if u can spend 3000 bucks then definately go for ATP3. It price around 3100 -3200 .

But if you r tight with ur budget then go for Creative Inspire

altec lansing avs 300 bass sounds slightly compressed but gives good midrange performance....
creative inspire 2.1 is bit more boomy then avs300 but overall avs 300 is the winner coz it never cracks even at extreme volumes....hallmark of altec lansing :) whereas whole of this creative inspire series suffers from cracking sound at more then 60% of the volume....

also creative 2.1 lacks decent midrange quality....

so the choice is urs and yea if u can shell out 3K then look no further then ATP3

ENjoy...

Those damn avs 300s are totally out of stock here in B'lore . As u might be aware, all the morons & scumbags in Bangalore are in the computer reseller business.
