Forget about bass booming at your shins. The Expressionist Bass features twin desktop speakers with subwoofers built right in. That’s right, the bass is in the base of each speaker. Separate 1 ½” drivers deliver mid and high frequencies so vocals and details come through with brilliant clarity. An auxiliary input allows convenient connection of any MP3 player. Designed to complement contemporary computer and monitor styles, the Expressionist Bass brings music, movies …

Reviews of Altec Lansing FX3022

  1. Two different types of speakers : Altec Lansing FX3022 ;Gear 4 DUO PG288

    Reviewer: GadgetSpeak
    19 January 2009

    This is a pair of speakers with what amounts to a sub woofer built into the units. So instead of a pair of speakers that require a separate unit to handle the bass these speakers do it without any extra assistance. These can be used with a PC or any other device needing output but they can also be used as out for an MP3 or iPod device. The two speakers are a similar size but the right one has on/off and volume controls on top and all the inputs. The two units are... Read more

    One of the intriguing things about speakers is how different they can be. Sound being the subjective and inherently analogue element that it is there's almost no end to the different approaches companies can take to creating the best experience. A good case in point is the Altec Lansing Expressionist Bass speaker set we're looking at today. Read more

    Certainly more stylish than the square looking Creative G-series speakers, the Altec Lansing Expressionist BASS FX3022WHT PC speakers (a mouthful we know) will bring that certain Doctor Who (we will exterminate) feeling to your office desk. As for performance, overall we were very impressed, not enough to want to replace our Creative T3s (in fairness they are twice the price) but enough that we would be happy to recommend these to you to check out. Black or white, both... Read more

    The bottom line: While the great-looking Altec Lansing Expressionist Bass FX3022 multimedia speakers fall a little short for music listening, their potent bass makes them a better choice for gaming and movie watching. Read more

    This is a great unit, am really happy with it. Saw them in Harvey Norman and theought it looked like a Dalek! But managed to get a listen of these speakers and was hooked. The sub-woofer is at the base and can really pound out the tunes. I have an inner city apartment and these are perfect for the surroundings. I recently had a party for friends and these new trendy looking speakers became the talking point for most of the night. My mates couldnt believe the power in... Read more

    For 100 dollars, these speakers are great... There's no subwoofer, so don't expect your electronica or hip-hop to boom, but they provide solid base for most music and at low to mid levels, they sound excellent for all music. If what you want is something for the computer in the kitchen, or you don't listen to your music really loud, I can't think of a reason why not to get these. Read more

    At first happy to have sound again. Not quite so sure now cause it just doesnt get lound enough sometimes when i know it can get louder...i sit and open every program i can find that has a volume adjustment just to crank it..aghh. Anyway I got super value for going cheap with this one. Its true bass is heavy but just use and equalizer and suit the sound to your needs so dont let that scare you. Anway overall pleased and once I figure out all my programs then even more i... Read more

  4. Good mids, highs but lows not up to par

    The speakers have good looks and reproduce mids and highs fairly well, but the bass would begin to distort even at temperate volume levels. At moderate volumes the speakers themselves don't look to moving to their limits yet the sound they reproduce sounds like one of a much higher volume level. Pretty disappointed in these. In the end there is no true replacement for a sub, even a small 5 or 6 inch one. Read more
