2.1 speaker system - Altec Lansing VS Sony
Written on 5:18 AM by Ashton
If you are looking for a speaker, I will suggest brand Altec Lansing. Because Altec founded 70 years ago, it must had tremendous experience in audio systems. Or I should tell it dedicated the audio sound systems.
From PlayStation gaming console to their Bravia TVs, you might be curious about Sony in your search for the perfect 2.1 audio setup. Though Sony has come to every aspect of electronic products, first thing I will mention that Sony has difficulty on making all kinds of electronic products, which I mean they have to make sure their products run good.
In terms of price, they are evenly matched at $299 per set, but look at their specification, we could see the table below, Sony seems to be good at power output.
