Altec Lansing's Expressionist Classic FX2020 PC speakers may not blow you away with their sound quality, but their distinctive look will win them some fans.

Altec Lansing's Expressionist Classic FX2020 is by no means a powerful set of PC speakers, and you don't get a lot of bass. But a cool design and a low price make them ideal for the office.

If you like that design, the price of the Expressionist Classic isn’t bad, and the system provides a solid upgrade over any Mac’s built-in speakers. However, if sound quality is your primary consideration, there are better-sounding speakers out there for the money.

Altec Lansing’s Expressionist FX2020 speakers have a different design to the company's other model in the Expressionist series, with a design similar to Sony’s 'floating glass' television motif. The speakers' styling sets them apart from other budget PC speakers, but their sound is as mediocre...

These speakers are all about style over substance. If that's what you're after, fine, but don't expect great audio fidelity along the way.
