   etup the system is almost effortless. Cables are color-coded for easy connection, and a quick connect card with diagrams is available to speed up the setup process.
   
   However, rear speaker wires are short. It spans only about 5-metre long from the subwoofer. For a small room, it is fine. But for a bigger room, you will need to setup the wires flawlessly so as not to waste a single inch of the speaker wire.
   
   After setup, you can enjoy the quality sound that definitely surpasses most entry-level 5.1 surround speaker system. Overall system response is rated at 35Hz - 18kHz.
   
   Signal-to-noise ratio is excellent unless volume is tuned up too high (above normal volume level). This is of course expected of a 5.1 multimedia speaker system that is analog not digital.
   
   All the shielded satellite speakers responded well. However you would need to ramp up the rear speaker volume considerably in order to enjoy a more theater-like ambient surround sound.
   
   The front right speaker contains the built-in control panel for power on/off, master volume control, center volume control, rear surround volume control, & headphone jack. It also has a special base with a hook-design that is designed to sit on top of your monitor without falling off.
   
   Bass delivered from wubwoofer is very powerful; so powerful such that it will rattle your picture frames on your walls. Therefore it is necessary to reduce the volume of subwoofer located not on the master control panel but on the subwoofer itself ... I considered this to be a design flaw.
   
   To summarize, Altec Lansing 251 is a high-value system with excellent performance designed to be fitted in a small room. Price is considered cheap for an entry-level 5.1 speaker surround system.
