OK if you can choose between these:
Altec Lansing ACS54W (5Watts per satellite; 20Watts subwoofer)
Cambridge Soundworks FPS1500 (6Watts per satellite; 17Watts subwoofer).
Both are 5-piece (4 satellites + 1 subwoofer) speaker systems.

Which one would you pick, and why? I'm totally confused now.....

[edit] Should've probably made this a poll.... oh well...

You can get them used cheaply at USSA (http://www.ussa.com/)! That's where I got mine! :)

There's only one problem.... you see, I'm limiting myself to the two choices earlier because..... well, I got those two speakers as birthday presents, and I obviously can't keep both of them :)

So I gotta decide which one to exchange.

Keep the Altech speakers. I bet you they're a whole lot better than the FPS1500... Which I don't think very highly of :P

Here's a good review for the Altech speakers (http://www.soundcardcentral.com/reviews/speakers/ACS54W/page4.htm). I've seen reviews for the FPS1500, and they don't say nice things about the set, since they are way overpriced and don't deliver a good amount of quality, according to various sources. :)
