Opps, had been refreshed!!??

yesterday i post here to ask what is the difference between Edifier s5.1 and s5.1m.

i juz knw tht the main difference is the size, RMS and of course the price. Besides these, is there any difference in sound quality?

The price difference is about RM100, so which one is more worthy to get?

Thx for your help.

M3300 SQ is quite not bad for music at the price RM230. if u can increase a bit your budget then try to get S2.1M RM399, really good SQ. the tweeter look like better quality one
besaid
yeah,i agree...and i am one real happy M3300 user.i watched 300 with M3300,and wow...it can shake the floor and my chair if you pump it a little.way different from people saying that it got no power...

yea.. what i can say is M3300 provide "adequate" bass for movie also, but if u want more deep bass and good SQ also there is no way to get such thing at this price range. positioning is very significant too, i saw most of the shop put M3300 at the rack doh.gif hence, the bass can't reflect from a solid surface. that's why ppl test over there then conclude M3300 not enough bass. subwoofer need to be put on the floor then only feel the bass

icic, someone recommanded me VS4121...so how was it compare with M3300 ???

i will take M3300 over VS4121 any time due to better satelite SQ and well controlled bass. but whether which one is nicer u should try it by yourself because my personal preference might different with your preference, same to others.

can anyone recommend me a 5.1 speaker that uses only 2 speakers and a woofer ?

Is there any difference compared to a 4 speaker/satellite system?

Very funny..haha, and not funny also...the reason you want 5.1 is surround if only two speaker, how you get that surround...if you want two speaker only then get a 2.1...Why waste money... biggrin.gif But I saw a sony brand home theater...DAV-FXG9K...is a 5.1 but can put it in two speaker or put it to 4 speaker...price??? Rm2600... tongue.gif
QUOTE(killdavid @ Jul 6 2007, 06:42 PM)
A very happy M3300 user here. Its the best in its class, that is the <RM250 bracket. Of course some of the gurus will say it is still lacking in this dept and that but come on lah ....its only RM239 don't compare with more expensive ones lah. Some will say M4300 is better, still both are strong products from Edifier.
*


A bit agree with you but I hear M3300 treble is not bad...If for my music totally out for me....R401 bass seems better but discountinue, so can't recommend to you...luckily I get one b4 discountinue...I hope he can choose which suits him...different people different taste....can't tell with words for good quality speaker, test it to believe it...hehe tongue.gif

Dude, do some research next time.
The first letter (e.g. 5.1) means the satellite units. The next one (e.g. 5.1) means the woofer unit.

Hi everyone,

Currently I am looking for a speaker to use at my workplace (desk). I am leaning towards 2.0 speakers. Budget is rm250-rm300. Mainly using my speakers for listening to music (mp3) and radio (online). Gaming is out of the question since I am not supposed to play games when I work. Movies, well I might when I have no work. So bottomline 95% music.

I went to a shop at BJ Complex (Penang), the salesman quote me RM180 for M3300 cause its a display unit. Do you think its adviseable to buy 2.1 compare to 2.0? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Regards.

a good sounding 2.0 usually is bookshelf size speakers, but it usually advised to put it on speaker stand because of two reason: the side is bigger thus it might take space in your table and the woofer in 2.0 is responsible to produce the bass so u need to put on speaker stand for better sq and wider separation. a good 2.0 is never need a sub woofer to do the bass job, they even can have better bass than those with sub woofer.

but some ppl might not prefer on this way, they want something smaller side speaker. hence, satellite speaker come in. satellite speakers are small enough to fit in your table but it is too small, not able do the job in bass, so it need a sub woofer to assist in the bass part, this is the idea of 2.1.

so 2.1 u was eying on M3300, for 2.0 u can have a look on R1900T3. for me i always prefer 2.0 for music(except aego m tongue.gif ), 5.1 for movie.

one thing bout display/demo speakers,never ever ever buy them unless you really know the shop owner a lot.a demo speaker went through additional wear and tear than the rest.they are runnning 12 hours straight usually,running at a volume higher than usual hearing level and certain speakers which dont have protection or cover for the drivers and tweeter is also subjected to more damage.

conclusion,i highly advise NOT TO BUY DEMO SET.

well,if you want a speaker that wont disturb others while playing,maybe you should check out the MP230,its a highly portable mini speaker.

hmmm,personally i prefer Edifier S2.1M more than over Edifier C2,its not my liking tongue.gif .if remote is a must,maybe can try Edifier M3310,but i prefer Edifier M3400 hooked with the TV.much more easier to work around with its RCA input.

2nd thing,if you are using it mostly with astro,go for direct connection instead of going through the TV,its much more better to me.

xbox 360?check out if your cable support up to 5.1 channel or not.if its not,consider changing it to the 5.1 cable and get a R501 MK2 for surround sound gaming and Halo series will never be the same again,if its only 2.1 and you dont plan to change,try the speakers that are more towards powerful bass.any of the below is great improvement from the normal TV speaker.

cheap -->expensive
Edifier M3400,Edifier S2.1M,Altec MX5021
ben3003
currently using m1310 for my xbox360, but my pc using LCD speaker which sucks alot.. but i don plan to put so many money on getting another speaker. I dunno wan get a 2.0 for pc or not and leave the m1310 for xbox360.. Or get another 2.1 for my xbox360, not enuf budget for 5.1 le.. i put rm150 like tat on getting a new speaker lo.
besaid
then maybe you can consider edifier M2300???though slighty more expensive than M1310,but its a great improvement overall.somemore it fits your budget perfectly.with much more powerful bass,i think its better to pair M2300 up with the 360.

remember to test it out 1st.trust your ears most

i think u better don't get creative although the sound quality is good, go to their forum u will know the number of returning S750 and G500 set to Creative for repair. most of them just dead after use 2 month only. this is the example of user review, although they give very high score on the sound quality part => http://www.pcworld.com/product/userreviews...serreviews.html
nicholas_1213
Hehe, yeah that's truly a let down for creative's speaker.. because some fo them they are using the BASH amp and it produces a lot of heat.. or maybe it's because of the electricity that blow the cap.. but actually the problem isn't that serious too..

We have some sifu here to repair them too bcos normally it's bcos of the blown cap, if some channel doesn't produce any sound, it's 90% caused by the loosen cable inside the amp (they have cables for every channel to connect to the amp). Just open it, and tighten the cable, or fix their position by some UHU gum or what.. But still, not many ppl are willing to open up the amp unit as it's a bit risky (void warranty? im not sure hehe)..

Anyway, it's still a let down point sad.gif
gmannji
haha then it's a no go for creative. thanks alot!!

Choose Logitech Z5300....if you prefer G500, you also can buy it...if the speaker sub spoilt maybe you can ask pc work...
