Altec lansing
Substandard speakers

I recently purchased VS2621 series on April 28th from

Roopam infotech retail dealer in Andheri. The address is:

Hanuman Terrace

Shop #A-6

Tara Temple Lane, Off Lamington Road

Grant Road

Mumbai -400007

The speakers are ok but the subwoofer bass is bad, it

distorts at a volume of 25%. That is unheard of. I tried returning it on april

29th 2010 to Roopam infotech and

they tried to pass on the buck to a distributor named Balchandra (mobile # 9323640378) and he said that the speakers are

ok. I was flabbergasted to hear him say that because the distortion and the

crack in the bass is evident to the human ear and does not require electronic

testing. Also he had the audacity to advise me that replace will not happen and

will need to be sent to the Altec lansing service center for repair. This is

clearly a manufacturing defect and request replacement of this speaker. Now the

speakers are brand new and do not understand the reason why I have to give it

to service center, all I need is replacement.

I travelled 56.5 Km

one way, twice to get this sorted but to no avail. Your website clearly

states in the FAQ's "If the speakers

were purchased through retail (a retail store, mail order catalog or retail

website) and they are still within store's return policy timeframe, you'll need

to return them to the place of purchase for replacement."

I've tried speakers on three different PC's at home. The

PC's are barely a year older too.

Money is not really a concern but time definitely is. So dont buy speakers from altec lansing because their engineers are not only deaf but also cant speak english. More ever they dont have customer service support. All emails on their website does not function, dont know why the hell they have mentioned it. Pathetic company and speakers. they claim to be in the buiness for 70 years and have not managed to get it right with the 2.1 channels yet. My advice, stick with creative, you will never go wrong, especially the inspire series. Also they have goof after sales service.
