iM600USB specs, features and functions? Does anyone have any information about the differences between the forthcoming Altec Lansing iM600USB and the iM600 models?

I could not find any info either on the differences. My guess is that the only difference in the im600USB is the ipod dock charging connection. Starting with the new iPod Nano 4th Gen., Apple changed the way they charge, USB only, no firewire, I believe. So, the original im600 is not able to charge the new Nanos, it plays them fine though.

No one makes a sound card like that anymore really, I'm building a new comp and I'm looking for a built in mobo. But if you must get one read the reviews. The soundblasters don't have the 7.1 jacks for the tiamats.

I have to disagree. When I use mine with either my on-board Realtek Azalia or with this SYBA external USB Stereo Sound Adapter for Windows, Mac, Linux Extra Audio Source with Microphone SD-CM-UAUD it sounds loud and very well balanced. They have a "reference" feel, they are very compliant, with a flat response curve. That is, highs, mids, and lows are given the same weight. This is typically found in professional sound equipment, while consumer headphones and speakers are built to accentuate highs and lows. Someone who's used to bass-heavy headphones would probably describe them as weak and tinny, but to my ear they represent bass quite well, if it's there. You can use an EQ to overcome this, and they should comply. I have to disagree.

I would say; maybe/probably. Sorry, don't know for sure. Try Altec lansing directly, they could probably tell you.

I have considered Altec Lansing before all others because I had a great sounding Altec Lansing 2.1 computer speakers back in the day. I went to Best Buy to listen to the iMT810 and it made me mad. Easily three years previously Best Buy used to carry the Kicker ik501. I put it through its paces right then at the store. I was very impressed, but didn't buy. The day came that I was looking for another boombox, my first hunch was to listen to Kicker again to make sure I heard what I thought I heard. Best Buy no longer carried Kicker. Seemingly no one carried Kicker. In the meantime I listened to the Altec Lansing more upscale docks and they buzzed with distortion or they sounded muffled. I listened to the Bose Sounddock 10 which I will return to shortly, but at the time I said to myself this Bose is a no excuses ipod docking system, but the price tag was more than I intended to tackle at the time. I continued my search and considered once more Altec Lansings iMT810. Depsite its girth it was not up to par, none of them were. Pulled up the Kicker on the company website, then to Amazon, Tiger Direct read articles from all kinds of magazine reviews. Over and over again, I read stellar reviews for sound quality. I bit the bullet and decided I would get the Kicker, but first I had to go back and listen to Bose Sounddock 10. It was stellar, but the Kicker didn't seem to lose much of anything at more than $300 less on sticker. I purchased the Kicker and I have yet to stop smiling. I also purchased the Bose Sounddock 10, playing them both in the same room, or A and B comparisions. Firstly, they sound great in the same room. I added a digital audio converter to both, same brand. The Kicker is more musically talented than the Bose with or without a dac. The louder volumes Bose starts to separate itself from the Kicker ik501 because the passive radiator subwoofer on the Kicker is not the equivalent to Bose's 8 inch dedicated subwoofer, but its not a difference by a country mile.

I too got the Altec Lansing im600 and the remote also does not work. It does require a battery that is taped onto the remote package, but after putting the battery into the remote it still did not work. There are no instructions that go with the remote so it is VERY frustrating! I ultimately sent it back and I am waiting for a new system.

Ken- I bought my Altec System about 6 months ago, and have absolutely no problem with it whatsoever! It Sounds Great! I run This system through a tube DAC (Digital to Analog) Hybrid Head Amp, and these speakers can handle everything that I throw at them. I would go ahead and recommend these speakers for ANY PC or Mac Application..they are the GREATEST!!

Totally agree with both of you, I emailed altec lansing 3 days ago asking and I'm still waiting for a reply.

No I can't, the only thing I can say that the HN-900 looks nice, the soundquality is alright, I had in the past an Altec Lansing, same quality and both "very" fragile built. The Creative earpiece broke of in the first month the Altec after a year.... both after intensive usage, intensive but carefull ....... don't buy it ...... I don't buy it anymore.....

just a USB ..might have to go into system preferences and them into the sound setting and select the Altec Lansing speaker....it should work then,

My cousin, to my dismayed surprise, has the Soundbot SB240 upon showing off my 66 Audio. They look the same, they feel the same, they sound the same, they ARE the same. Unless you think the extra pouch is worth it, no the extra cash is not justified.

Differences between the A2+ and original A2.USB digital-to-analog converter (DAC) Variable audio output (connect a sub or one of our wireless adapters) Upgraded speaker connectors Standard 1/4" threaded inserts for wall mounts Upgraded power supply Upgraded accessory cablesIn my opinion, not worth 50 bucks! I have been using my A2 everyday in my office, and they have been extremely durable! Hope it works.

I'm curious about types as well, I have an iPhone 4 and this looks like a good product. The negative reviews sound like people that are just mad in general and I'm looking for a good speaker that can work with my current phone.
