Altec Lansing FX3022 Tests (Lautsprecher / Boxen)

Altec Lansing's motto for its Expressionist Bass FX3022 PC multimedia speakers is, "All the bass in half the space." The concept is a good one. You take the subwoofer that normally sits on the floor, shrink it down, and integrate one into the bottom of...

Impressive, striking design; subwoofers are built into the base of each speaker, which provides ample amount of bass; more suited to gaming and movie watching than music listening

Look like Darleks ; Clear, crisp sound ; Plenty loud enough

Powerful Sound ; Great bass ; Easy Access

No remote ; Minimum volume set too high, goes from mute to somewhat medium sound ; Little big for small desk
