Hi,
and just for the record. It's Expressionist without an s.
Brian, who was so inspired by this that I tried to order a pair but couldn't
find them here, so ordered a pair of creative speakers with bluetooth
instead.
But I like Altec Lansing allot myself!
Brian

The Altec Lansing Expressionists FX2020 speakers.
Yes there are several models in the Expressionists range including
Expressionists Ultra, Expressionists Plus, Expressionists Classic and the
original Expressionists FX2020 themselves.
I have the Expressionists Plus and they're okay though nowhere near as good
as the Expressionists Ultra were for a 2.1 channel speaker system.
The Expressionists FX2020 is the best value for money 2.0 channel desktop
speaker system I've heard but I'm only repeating myself now <smile>.

Sound
The subject line says it all when it comes to this pair of speakers.
The Altec Lansing Expressionists speakers have little in the way of
features
but who really cares about that when cost is low and sound - for a pair of
desktop speakers - is worth recommending on its own.
The speaker system has only 3 buttons, power, volume up and volume down
which are situated on the rear of the right speaker. the volume up and
down
buttons are identifiable by the plus and minus signs, the power button is
a
button with a detent, not that much different to the sort of button you'd
find at the bottom of an iPhone screen.
The Expressionists speakers are designed in such a way that they cannot be
easily knocked over, this is achieved by the speakers having cylinders at
the rear which touch the desk and rubber feet at the front, I also suspect
that the cylinders give an opportunity to the speakers to output more
bass.
Each speaker contains 1 3 inch driver and sound is surprisingly good
throughout the spectrum.
The system has 2 3.5MM jack input sockets which are mixed together so 2
devices can be run simultaneously if required.
Volume is louder than I expected and the system does indeed deliver a good
punchy sound, nothing tinny about these speakers whatever.
If you want high performance for music or games then this speaker set is
obviously not the 1 to pick but if you have a very limited budget and want
a
set of speakers with all round good performance without too much
compromise
then this system at $50.00 is very hard to pass up, I'll be using this
speaker system until my Harman Kardon sound sticks arrive in a few weeks
and
I have no trouble with that.
