Probably one of the least paid attention to areas when buying a new computer is sound. It doesn't take a person who builds their own systems to be able to pick up a descent set of speakers for the computer, but the average user doesn't have such high demands as those who game and center their media viewing/listening around the computer. Such users look for high powered, high quality PC speakers or home theator setups to bring the environment to life. Those who don't have tens of hundreds of dollars to spend on a top notch home theator system will find that a high-end PC system will do quite nicely.

In this review, I'll examine the Altec Lansing MX-5021 speaker system. These speakers are a 2.1 channel, THX certified set of speakers designed for high quality audio listening and even a bit of gaming. So that said, I'll be giving these speakers a comparison in music, movies, and games to Logitech's Z-680 speakers in a 2.1 configuration to level the playing field, and perform similar to the comparably priced Z-2200s that were recently looked at.
