The good: Decent sound for the money; bass is fairly tight; speakers are good-looking and relatively compact; satellites angle can be adjusted.
The bad: Audio inputs are on the subwoofer, making quick hook-ups to portable devices potentially inconvenient.
The bottom line: Altec Lansing's Expressionist Plus FX3021 is a good compromise for someone looking for a compact, affordable 2.1 PC speaker set that delivers decent sound.

Nice down firing Sub woofer

Summary: I have tested 4 almost 1 month now. All the speakers at this price range. I have tested Equivalent versions from Sound Blaster and Logitech. Sonic Gear. and the sound is pretty much the same. But the speakers on the shops have a glass dividers where they place the units. And the sound source is a simple USB Mp3 player.
so the sounds of the different speakers are deceivingly similar.
I based my decision to the style, downward firing speakers and the price.. And you know what when I got home and set it up... it is a far superior speakers than my old one. (Edifier but it is cheap).
and the down firing speakers radiates the bass so effectively.. I can feel the whole room rumbling. the sound extends outside my room and into the kitchen, sometimes I need to run back to my room coz it is too loud.

Great speakers, average sub, and extremely bad design.
by mrmozer on September 12, 2010
Pros: The speakers sound amazing with high level of detail and the sub is about average.
Cons: Very poor design with the satellite speakers, they look ugly. The wiring is such a mess and not very convenient. The entire system tends to create a buzzing sound from time to time as a result of poor grounding most likely from the input wire.
Summary: Good sound but you're sacrificing on convenience, looks and space. If you can find another product with high detailed sound, it would most likely be a better choice.
