@rohanbee....no need for apologies... *cool*
well magnet since u asked for a altec 2.1 vs creative 2.1...i wud say there's not much of a difference, both will sound good basically and will do justice to ur respective budget...
but if u wish to have more deeper insigt then i will definately say that altec has a bit of an edge in terms of technology....it has better power handling then creative, that means they wont crack even at higher volumes, this is where creative still has to do some working....
secondly altecs have slightly more tighter bass performance then creatives...
rest i'll say is all up to the mark....
so for ur budget of 2.5K i will still suggest that u go for altec 221...
Altec AHP512 headphones shud be arnd 1.1 to 1.3K, i'm not entirely sure....but definately below 1.5K
if u cant get Sennheiser headphones then i highly recommend that u go with this particular model...its much cheaper then Sennheiser and performance is comparable to Sennheiser....
PS: Sennheiser is known as god of headphones along with bose and AKG...
ENjoy...

nice writeup!!
well, i would like to add a point here.
couple of months back, i made a visit to B&W showroom in US. they had this new speaker set along with an amplifier. for the demo, they had a CD, labeled "20kHz - 20Hz". it just had a disturbing sound where the frequency went from 20kHz to 20Hz in a smooth curve. the demo manual said that under no normalization(equalizers, epicenters, other sound adjustments), the output should be uniform for all the frequencies in the given spectrum. when the CD played, i could hear the same volume throughout the track. they enen had a decibel meter, which was constant at 80dB. recently, i downloaded the same track from the internet and played it on, my altec lancing atp3, my neighbour's "DTS" Intex speakers(5.1), my car's 800W amp+woofer system.
the intex was the worst performer with a very bad freqiency responce(there was no sound for the first 3-4 seconds) and the woofer coil almost popped out in the "low" end. the sound disappeared many times in between. the sound peaked at moderate high and moderate low.
Next was my car(unfortunately): the sound was quite good in the highs(thanks to the Pioneer amp and legendry TS20), however, the sound shallowed a bit in the upper mids, and there was a peak in the extreme lows(that wasnt bad after all, i could see the side mirror vibrating).
best performer was the Altec Lancing, i am proud to say, very close to perfect.
as per the decision, i think, it's better to invest on quality than quantity.
p.s. dont get fooled by PMPO.
