Ever since I got these speakers, I've only had problems with static and radio signals being picked up. I called up the company, and they recommended moving the speakers away from my wireless router--well, the wireless router happens to be in a different story of my house, so I just don't think it can get any farther than it already is. So, basically the customer service person told me that this problem could never be fixed and I'd just have to buy a different set of speakers. Well, I'm never buying Altec again.
