Today I purchased an Altec Lansing VS4121 2.1 system to replace my Acoustic Labs 7.1. The reason being that my new study is too small for surround sound, so all the speakers ended up on the desk, which defeats the object of having surround sound and uses up valuable space.
I can highly recommend this bit of kit, foot print is small, speakers and sub are a stylish gunmetal grey, controls are very smooth and easy to use and the sound is excellent, I would go as far to say that it's much better than my old 7.1 setup.
