Reviewer: What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision03 November 2008
We were extremely disappointed by this speaker system when we first tested it in 2006, and with the strength of the competition nowadays we hate to think how many stars it would – or wouldn't – earn now. Look elsewhere for your PC and MP3 thrills. Read more

The FX6021's sound fantastic. For simply listening to music, you would be hard pressed to find a better set of 2.1 speakers.

Altec Lansing FX6021 Review
Reviewer: FastLane Hardware16 May 2004- Overall 9
Altec Lansing didn't disappoint us with the MX5021, and we're glad to see they've done it again with the FX6021...and then some. As Altec starts to stray away from gaming-centered surround systems and more towards high-quality 2.1 systems, I feel they've reached the point where I can call this set "amazing". The InConcert technology is just awesome for music, they're very attractive looking, and they're pretty loud for only 75w RMS total! The FX6021s aren't... Read more
