Fortunately, such listening levels will rarely (if ever) be required. The bass-level control influences the sound of all three speakers, creating distortion in each one at high volume. With all controls at the 2 o'clock position or above, you can expect raspy treble and distorted bass.

However, general sound quality decays at higher volumes. Sporting a bold design and more raw volume than units costing twice its price, the Altec Lansing ATP3 three-piece speaker system charts a course that few.

Moreover, the downward-firing midrange driver and rear port help disperse the satellite output into a surprisingly wide soundstage. The three speakers contained in each satellite translate cymbals, high-pitched guitar notes, and other trebly effects with a tenacity that's rare at any price point. The ATP3's distinctive, multidriver design and powerful amplifier combine to produce plenty of dynamic headroom for potent passages and an efficient sound that is capable of earsplitting volume. One more cable connects the system to the sound card's line-out jack. Altec Lansing neglected to include a discrete subwoofer volume control or LED, but it has smartly constructed the unit so that its power transformer resides inside the box rather than attached to the AC cord. One 6.5-inch driver sits inside, as does a seriously punchy 30-watt (RMS) amplifier. ATP3 2.1 Multi-Media Speaker System: Altec Lansing’s ATP3 computer speaker system has three big things going for it: (1) It’s finished in the same charcoal grey color that seems to be finding favor among the big personal computer players like Dell and Gateway (2) It’s two-flat-panel satellite and one-subwoofer format (hence, the 2.1 designation) leaves a small footprint on the desktop. Two disappointingly short 6-foot wires connect the satellites to the subwoofer cabinet, which itself is bedecked with enough curves and lines to make its rectangular 14-by-8-inch profile look downright futuristic. Despite its distaste for ultralow bass frequencies, the sleek, all-black ATP3 is an electronic marvel worthy of its $99.95 price tag.
