Altec Lansing ADA880......Any good??

[pillage2001]

Deos the quality of the sound that comes out from the satellite good? I'm looking for a speaker which can play at high volume and yet maintain the crisp of the treble and bass of the music.

I have a set at the office and they are pretty loud, and the overall sound is very good. However you will probably get a lot of folks telling you to go with the Klipsch Promedias.

at the price available from compgeeks.com, for 150 bucks these are pretty decent so-called 5.1 speakers...

 

[pillage2001]

I've seen this baby at 120 bucks. What kinda Klipsch speakers do you guys recommend??

The Promedia 4.1's

Thanks. Any idea where I can get it at a good price?

I think you can only get the klipsch via its website, Dell's site, gamepc, and online auction site like e b a y. THEY ALL WILL BE 250, don't think they will be any lower or even higher.

Altec lansing speakers are always good... good sound quality, good bass, good overall. You can't really go wrong with them.

I have this speaker for almost a year now and it works great the only think I didn't like abou it is its not 5.1 its only 4.1 so if you watching dvd, playing games go for Klipsch very loud and clear check out 3D Sound they tests speakers and tell you which is good.

TatSteeL......thanx for the site.

Any reference on speaker that uses the Optical out??

I prefer the Videologic DigiTheatre over the ADA880, although, from what I have heard, the ADA880's bass is good

Here is a review of the DigiTheatre

...and the ADA880

GoGo City just had a special on the ADA880's. I think they were $89.
Might still be going on.

[edit] Sure is. Link

If you want to stay in the $150 range the boston ba4800 are great. I have a set of those and a set of promedias in the other room and they are both quite nice. As I'm sure you've heard the bostons have a nicer midrange while the pros have a nicer high end. Its all how you prefer your music.

I wouldn't buy anything from gogo city. Just take a look at resellerratings once.

Wow! Good point about their ratings at Reseller Ratings.
Myself, I haven't had any problems with them, but I suppose one should be careful when ordering from them.

gogocity are insane in shipping cost...
