The bass is better with Klipsch alot of newbies in sound like louder bass that is less "punchy" and controlled like Klipsch. They just like to rumble the house without respect to sound quallity.

Finally someone said it. So true. I like my music to sound decent. That doesn't mean putting the bass all the way up, and treble all the way down. That just shows how stupid you are (my roommate). He thinks its all about bass. True bass adds depth, but it shouldn't go 3 floors down.

As for the speakers. Yeah i think they are the best. I was going to get these 4 years ago when they came out, but i was to poor. When i move on to my next comp, they will def be there.

i have the logi z-340s. terrific value for the price. and prob way better bass than the altecs. plus a bass control and headphone jack (i use this a lot).

but top of the line comparing with the klipsch pm 5.1 and the logi 680s are the altec 631 (i think) sumthin or the yamaha 6 piece sumthin or other. man if u can afford those...wow.

B)

get the logi 340s, not the altecs. the blue light is cool too! (but the wires are permanent and not too long.) and no wall wart power source. also...ahhh! the volume control is WAY to small and hard to use. i HATE that, it really pisses me off... but they can blast! wow.

Yes it DOES matter. I would lean towards the Altec Lansings. I have never personally heard those paticular ones but that 4.1 system that they sold about a year ago for about 100-150- they sounded VERY rich. I am sure that the power and detail isnt there but as far as richness is concerned they were about as rich as my Klipsches.
