I had a chance to test this set along with Yamaha YST-M201 in store, imo, I prefer Yamaha (Y), because the overall audio Y is very good, deep with no boomy bass, and my happy past experience I had with Y 3-pieces seton the other side, when I test this set, I don't believe this is Altec Lansing!!! what the hell happened???! mid and treble are okay, the problem is bass, it is hard to adjust and boomy, it's over emphasized around 150-200Hz, but very WEAK around 50-70Hzone more thing I am surprised is my ex-roommate purchased the set, he may like this, but I am sure I don't like it at all, it's not natural as past AL
