The editors liked

  • Excellent Design. Beefy construction without looking like it’s beefy thanks to the interesting styling of the left and right channels
  • These speakers should last a long time
  • Thanks to the high quality construction.
  • Crisp and clear bass
  • Treble speakers with a tweeter for higher frequencies
  • Good control device
  • Wonderful and unique looks
  • Great sound quality
  • Control pod gives easy access to all controls as well as headphone/aux. in ports
  • Great build quality
  • The acrylic doesn't come off as "cheap looking" as some might think
  • Pleasant audio performance at moderate levels. Remote adjusts treble and bass levels. Aux input and headphone jack.

The editors didn't like

  • Would like to see a remote control on these
  • $149.84 seems a bit pricey
  • Unwanted static noise
  • Excessively large subwoofer
  • Somewhat expensive ($199.95 on Altec's website)
  • Hissing got annoying when nothing was being played through the speakers
  • Lack of wireless remote
  • Woofers distort at high volumes. Subwoofer is very large
  • And isn't a good fit for tight spaces. Hard-wired cables. Remote is wired
  • Awkward to operate.

  • The Altec Lansing Expressionist Ultra MX6021 has good sound quality for its asking price. Even though it may not be as good as the older MX5021 and the Creative Gigaworks T3 in terms of resolution and details, the overall sound is quite warm and pleas...

  • Abstract:  The Altec Lansing Expressionist Ultra is a stereo speaker set with a sub-woofer (it's a 2.1 set in the industry jargon, the 2 referring to the speakers and the 1 to the bass sub-woofer unit).The speaker units are an unorthodox design with spiky speaker...

  • Impressive sound quality for the money; stylish design; very strong bass; good connectivity options; desktop controller for power, volume, bass and treble
  • The speaker cables are on the short side and can't be extended because they use proprietary connections
  • The Altec Lansing Expressionist Ultra MX6021 PC-speaker system offers a pleasing combination of stylish design and hearty performance ...

  • Good detail and rhythmic control, tight, deep, and impressively integrated bass
  • Clattery, hard edged treble spoils the rest of the delivery, no USB input

  • Love it or hate it design excepted, there's no complaining about the performance of the Altec Lansing Expressionist Ultra speakers. Just be aware you could get more for the same money, albeit with a more conventional design....

  • Abstract:  Verdict: Altec Lansing's Expressionist Ultra speakers have too many quality issues for a set at this price. Altec Lansing's Expressionist Ultra 2.1 speakers have a distinctive look, thanks to their transparent trapezoid fronts. The subwoofer looks e...
