Earlier this month we looked at a high end speaker system – the Sicuro 670XL.
However, most would not spend that kind of money on computer speakers. So what
are the alternatives for the power user on a budget? On my desk today is a set
of Logisys Computer’s Alien 2.1 computer speakers. The Alien 2.1 speakers
sport some distinctive styling, but how do they sound? Read on, intrepid
surfer!

The satellite
speakers are covered with a cloth and plastic grille, and have a small
removable stand. I was curious to see that, as there are no provisions on the
back for mounting the satellites to the wall. Setting them on a soft surface,
such as carpet, I found they lean forward a lot and can fall over easily.

If you’re into performance computing, than
the styling for the sub has an obvious source which I won’t mention here. The
sub is well assembled, and has a solid weight to it. The front and side port
are made of plastic, and the rest of it is made up of particle board. The
three control knobs are mounted one over the other in the lower front of the
“face” area, and control Bass, Treble, and Volume. The rear of the unit has
both inputs and outputs in RCA format, the power socket, and a power switch.
