This offer is only in-store... was told sale ended Sat. but I guess not. You may want to try pricematching with Staples or someplace for 110% difference. Also, there's a BB 10% off coupon in December issues of certain mags... I think Sports Illustrated is one of them... check the threads and you'll find the list.

Once you go with something like the Logitech z560s or the Klipschs, you never even look back at something like this. :) Pretty good deal though.

Come on Logitech speakers????

Is like comparing a Canon Digital camera with an Intel, well I guess you will get the Intel.
Altec Lansing is way better than Logitech's!!!!!

They had two left here in the Henrietta NY store, after I helped myself to 2 of them. The cash register at front rung them up at 79.99 but the ones in the computer section had them at 29.99.

Check out the Logitech Z560s or theZ680s

We are talking 400watts plus, THX certified.

So I do believe they are better than these Altec Lansing "toys."

sorry, but you have no idea what you are talking about. where have you been in the multimedia speaker world during the past year? the z560 and z680 sets are perhaps the best deal at their respective price points.

I watched those discussions all the year about the Logitech's. Well It was crap, just a lot of bla bla bla but hey: they 're 400 watts. JBL Studio series goes up to I think 250 Watts and they have a 12" woofer. How in the heck these Logitechs can reach 400????? Go and read serious reviews. They ar ebetter than Creative Labs maybe but not than Altec's. But I know, they have that cool blue led...and shall we talk about boomies?

Are these speakers $30? I did a search on pricewatch.com, their around $125. You can't compare $125 speakers to $30 speakers. If my BB had the Altec Lansing's, I would buy them for $30.

uh ok.. whatever.. but your analogy with the intel and canon cam is horrible in this context. of course an intel camera is going to be worse than a canon one - but at what price difference????? they both will get the job done - you get what you pay for.

400 watts of *dynamic* power, not RMS power. I can't believe that you even put such rubbish in this thread. Comparing a pair of $79 ($29 now) Altec Lansing speakers against a set of Klipsch or Logitech speakers that run $399. Puhleaze! Nothing like comparing apples to oranges. I'd be willing to bet that Best Buy priced the speakers at $29 to compete with the Staples "Black Friday" sale. $29.99 for these speakers is a **steal**. Additionally, if you know much about audio, the THX certification doesn't mean a whole lot. ;)

Some data on the Klipsch Promedia 5.1 Speakers

FTC Rated Subwoover: 170 watts @ ¡Ü 3% THD, 40 - 100Hz
Maximum Burst Power*: 500 watts @ ¡Ü 1% THD (Note: all channels driven)
Click to expand...
170 watts, yes. But, they don't say if it's at 4, 6, or 8 Ohms - which could make a big difference. I like their reference to 500 watts *burst*. Kind of like my car getting 100 miles per gallon of gasoline (going down a hill in neutral with the wind pushing me.) ;)

From the page on the Logitech Z-680 speakers:
Let the bass pump through the 185-watt subwoofer. At 53 watts (RMS) each, four satellites and a center channel provide crystal-clear midrange and highs.
Click to expand...
Oh, they get their 450 watts by combining the subwoofer output + the output for each of the satellite speakers. Again, with regards to the RMS power, it doesn't specify whether at 4, 6 or 8 Ohms. This can make a world of difference.

Enough of the crap about comparing these Altec Lansing speakers to anything else out of the price league. The ATP3 speakers are great speakers for basic PC audio, MP3 listening and basic gaming.

If I want to get into some serious listening, I'll play with my home audio system - 970 watts of RMS power. ;) - and let y'all play with your kiddie Klipsch and Logitech speakers. ;)

Do the ATP3 speakers have a headphone jack on them?

Are there any good speakers that have a headphone jack so that when you plug in the headphones the speakers are muted?

Just do like the rest of us are doing. Purchase a "Y" cable from Radio Shack and run one side to your speakers and the other to your headphones. You just need to turn down the volume on your speakers when listening to your headphones.

lol the altecs are nice for $30 bucks, way over priced at 79. they are decent computer speakers but thats it.
the klipsh and logitech speakers are the top of the class, no competition and anyone who has used them wouldnt want to even listen to altecs or most other pc speakers...
that said if you want a nice upgrade for a good price, go for it, but they arent top of the line.
