Altec Lansing FX2020 Expressionist Classic FX2020 Speaker System 2.0-Channel - 15 W (RMS)

I ordered these for their unique look. The consumer product review also rated them best for the price (which was very reasonable), but I never could get a satisfactory volume out of them, the volume control is cumbersome and eventually (after less than 9 months), they just stopped working.

I was mostly attracted to this product by it's aesthetics. I needed a simple two speaker system for my iMac and glass desk, and this seemed like the perfect choice. The audio quality was fair, but I expected more "punch" with these things. The product ended up only lasting 6 months before it completely failed. They are very attractive speakers visually, but I would not recommend if you need a solid set.
