I broke the volume control on my inexpensive 5 watt speakers and was looking to replace them. I purchased the ASC22's with a rebate so it was an excellent price but they are not nearly as good as the Yahama's were. No tone control so these sound very bassy (but not a good bass) and I can't increase the treble. The yamahas at least had a tone control. I'm going to look for the yahama YSTM40's which have 24 watts power, seperate bass and treble controls, comes in black, and doesn't have a subwoofer which I don't need. The Altecs go back. (...)
