Altec Lansing VS 2421


I am not an audiophile, I am just looking for a new replacement for my retired Harman Kardon 2.0 speaker. My choice is between this one and Logitech X240, because I want the 2.1 speaker to enrich the sub-sound. I choose this one over the logitech because I like how this one looks.

Basically I like this speaker so much to play the game like Doom 3, Half Life 2 and listen to the music. The sound from this speaker for me is really-really good compare to my old speaker. But I just realised that this speaker would gave me a noise sound if I browsing internet using my wireless adapter card. I also read from other website that this speaker is very sensitive to the radio frequency (RF), like handphone or your wireless system.

When I watching movie from youtube.com using my wireless adapter then the noise sound would came out and for me it is very annoying. If I open a website while listening to the music then the noise sound would also come out. But after finished loading the website then the noise sound will dissapeared.Why would some speaker from Altec Lansing could have a problem like this? I never have a problem like this before with my Logitech or Harman Kardon speaker.

I would not recommend this speaker to a people who have some radio frequency devices like cell phone or wireless adapter around their computer desk. Wireless adapter is OK as long as you are not using it for accessing internet or network while you are listening to the music. If your computer desk is free from the RF devices I would highly recommend this speaker, a bang for a buck!
