Hi Folks,


I would like to purchase a sub woofer system and am a bit confused regarding which particular brand name to go for --- Creative or Altec Lansing.
My plan is to go for 4.1 or 5.1 system without thinking of the budget at this time.

Kindly let me know your views about the 2 brand names and in case if you know the prices of the system then post them as well (Mumbai prices in particular).

Well I havn used Altec but as far as reviews go they're the best ppl n moreove Altec manufactures only sound solutions unlike Creative so it oughta be the best...

Buddy believe do not get misguided by 4.1 they are the worst set to be out.. :mad: Plz do not buy it :) Whats your budget .. Listen 2.1 is the best for Music and all.. if you on low budget + music is priority then ALtec Lansing ATp3 crystal clear sound nothing can beat it :) .. or high budget + Music get Altec Lansing MX 5021 the best speakers out today..

While a good quality 5.1 will cost you much :) .. Well get Altec Lansing for 2.1 and Logitech/Creative for 5.1 or higher :) Plz do nt go for 4.1 :p

My Vote Goes to Altec Lancing 2.1. Creative 4.1 is no where near it in my opinion :)

But sad to notice none of Altec products're THx certified... Nevertheles..

None of them had come close to d Creative Megaworks or the Gigaworks...
