Strengths: Inexpensive 4.1 sound
Weaknesses: Integrated wiring inputs No 4.1 connector to other sources
Summary: 2003-03-11 13:25:05 The AVS500 system is quite a fun piece for $29. 4.1 sound and a bit of kick to it. By no means is this a full solution for someone bent on cranking the volume to max. For an easy listener this is a suitable system to connect up to a small TV or even a CD player.

The options are simple. The surround volume changes the speakers from 2.1 operation to 4.1 operation. It seperates the fields through the front and rear inputs. I used a set of RCA - 8mm headphone converters though instead so my signal is more or less just a tweaked version of a 2.1 signal.

For a small apartment or for younger siblings these should do fine. The system is targeted at value not maximum definition and power.

Strengths: Great sound epecially for the price, this is my second set, first ones still going strong after three years.
Weaknesses: None so far But I am not an audiophile expert.
Summary: If you don't need THX sound then these probably will be enough for you. Loud enough for my neighbors to complain (apartment). I am sure there is better speakers out there but I am happy with these.

Strengths: The bass sound with seperate volume control.
Weaknesses: Speaker wires could be a bit longer.
Summary: A great system especially for the cost. The sound has depth and range. It is as good or better than many of the mini boom boxes on the market.Altec seems solidly built with quality components.
