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 ), 5.1 for movie.

yeah i dont think it's still on market..about 7 years old la this model..but i remember the distributor is leapfrog..
why you need 2.1 that is 5.1?
just buy altec lansing mx5021..thx certified



2.1 is suitable for bass..
but to use at office not suite la..

coz i dont want too many satellites and the wires are just going to add to my already messy room, and there's no place for me to put the rear speakers

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.

Hi besaid,

Thanks for the advise. I am still seeking for the right speaker my own use at work...

Regards.

how about edifier c2. i plan to use it with my cheap tv since my cap ayam tv only can produce mono sound.

Hi... i want to know if there's any recommend for speakers pricing between Rm150-Rm200. Thx... i was looking into Sonic Gear BT3 and A5 but dunno if it is wise or not...

Go for BT3 for this range, or M3300 Edifier.

What about Sonic Gear Armageddon 5? Izit the same thing too?

Same...or try M2300...I think Bt3 were more better....

VS2320 is a good 2.0 speaker? Anyone heard it before?

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 .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

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.

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

Maybe you try audition those spekaer they mention then choose which suits you, every people got different taste....
