The subwoofer contains a single 6.5” throw speaker, and is quite heavy. This way, you can also mount the speakers on your wall to free-up desk space. The satellites also have a removable base, which simply slide on and off. Half as wide as the above-mentioned MX5021’s, the FX6021 satellite speakers are much taller, and sports six 1” drivers in each enclosure. The FX6021’s sport a large subwoofer and two very tall desktop speakers.

But the life of a reviewer never ends, and we don’t always get to review what we would prefer. I was unsure if I were really in the mood to review yet another pair of speakers, much less a pair from the same company I just reviewed for. I had just finished a review of the MX5021 speakers, also from Altec Lansing, which I gave a 4.5 out of 5 rating. So it was with some trepidation that I opened and plugged in the new FX6021 Altec Lansing speakers for review. Some, such as Monsoon MM1000 and the Altec Lansing VS4121 Versatile Speakers have sounded great. I mean, realistically, what else can you say? I have tested or owned over two dozen computer speakers over the last decade.
