For Sale: Badass 5.1 speaker set for PCs

Dell/Altec Lansing ADA995 5.1 THX speaker system

Not sure whether anyone on here would be interested but would rather offer these at a bargain price to you lovely people than faff around elsewhere...anyway, I never used the 5.1 capabilities and I have hardly used the speakers for quite a while, but these are superb quality. Built by Altec Lansing for Dell, they came with my old PC in 2004. They're built like a brick shithouse so will last forever. Amazing for a surround sound gaming experience, but I just use my PS3 these days...they're in almost new condition too.

The caveats are that they can only really be connected to a PC soundcard for full 5.1 (they have the green black and yellow jack connectors) unless you know something about adapters etc. I don't. Of course they can be used 2.1 with any source really. Also this setup is heavy, I mean really heavy, no way would you be able to cycle with the subwoofer! So its collection only, and you'll need a car.

The good news is you can have them for £30. Tbh they're not worth a huge amount 2nd hand these days but sound quality is comparable to Logitech's £200+ offerings. They are now taking up too much room and I want rid!

Oh and here's a link to a thread on avforums, selling a set earlier this year, for the princely sum of £55!! http://www.avforums.com/forums/speaker-subwoofer-classified-adverts/937101-sale-altec-lansing-ada995-5-1-surround-pc-multimedia-speakers-large-sub.html

PMs to arrange stuff please.

Anyone want it for £20?

where is collection from?

Ah yes, whoops...collection from Wandsworth, SW18...

Dibs if: a) I can fit them in a large messenger bag and b) I can borrow one off a mate. Will let you know ASAP.

Just seen, too heavy :(

^ Yeah, no way would you get the lot in a large messenger bag. I guess maybe something like an Archie's Theo might work, but its a slim possibility...but the weight must be at least 15kg...

will you split? I only need the boom boom box.

^ You could buy the woofer and I'll throw in the speakers whether you want them or not...sound fair? ;-)

But I should point out that the subwoofer only has 5.1 soundcard inputs (i.e. black, green and yellow minijacks) and not the standard subwoofer input, whatever that is, cos its designed as a 5.1 system for PCs...

OK OK sounds a bit technical to me.

Will I or will I not be able to use it in my XR3i?

I think its only approved for use in a Capri Ghia but you could ghetto-rig it I'm sure.

Damn I'm out.

Oh god please somebody just remove these from my flat. They're cursed by Shaitan himself awesome and free from curses.

I'll have em E. Or I found another 4 stems, might swap?

PM'd you Paul!

Did these go? if not, 2nd dibs? i need some speakers and will somehow manage to transport them...
