i checked the edifier just now. seems nice
but the bass is it stronger than the altec?its about 40 bucks premium to the altec
*
bass is definitely sounds nicer than VS4121
but comparing how loud they can go,VS4121 can pump louder bass than HCS2330

Perhaps you needa pair the S730 with a good SC..
I think that will solve the problem..
I met the prob with my Edifier R1900T3 too.
I changed my SC then no prob d..

Guys, I'm in dilemma of picking one from these few speakers that i have listed down.

Well my budget is pretty not more than 550, hence my desire for s730 is canceled. (so as sound stick 2).

I would like something that works good with music like jazz,orchestra, rock, pop with clarity and tight bass.

but at the same time doesn't lose out too much at hip hop, rap, techno, trance and house.
I'm using a Creative Audigy 2 ZS pro, wasn't cheap back then. Guess its good enough to fire something sweet?

So:

- S330
- Z-2300 (dont think it suits me?)
- C3
- R1900T III

OR perhaps something else that you guys could recommend please?

Thanks. smile.gif
*
all speakers are great except the logitech z-2300

I'd choose R1900TIII and C3
because
R1900TIII very good in music
C3 got external amp and remote control

but I think you should choose S330
great all rounder

why not try Edifier R2000T? Just giving some opinions...

go audition it yourself... cuz different ppl different taste

WTA! Looking for a good 2.0 speaker for my laptop! Hopefully, it has clarity similar with AegoM! Thanks in advance!

budget?

I can recommend Edifier R1900TIII or Edifier S2000V
but both won't be as good as Aego M

Thank you for replying my friend. smile.gif

I see that you recommend people on s730 a lot. haha However i couldn't afford buying that lovely thing.

On the other hand, for RM400, I favor C3 and S330 more. But at the same time, I couldn't still differentiate the general differences of both.
I'm aware that auditioning with own ears matters the most in the end. However, I couldn't find a quiet shop which has S330 and C3 on display, yet.

So perhaps power911, you could explain more on this 2 models please?

Thank You in advanced.  thumbup.gif

red markers indicate bad points

C3
-big 8"subwoofer (but it sounded weak and disappointing)
-3" midrange driver
-0.75" tweeter
-not enough oomph for the bass (but it is well tuned and sound great)
-more sound for midrange (feeling warm)
-trebles are sparkly (some say it sounded like plastic)
-vocals are sweet
-external amp (which is good so that the amp won't share space with the subwoofer and won't heat up so easily)
-two inputs
-easy to use controls(includes volume control for volume,bass,and treble)
-comes with wireless IR remote
-the whole system is big and requires quite a bit of space
-overall sound quality is well tuned


S330
-6.5" subwoofer
-2" midrange driver (a little too small)
-0.8" phase plug tweeter
-more bass compared to C3 (some say it's loose and boomy,lose to C3 in sound quality)
-mids are just okay (some say it is not enough due to the small 2" speaker)
-trebles are sweet and clean
-vocals are clean and natural
-amp built into subwoofer (bad ventilation)
-included wired remote (does not include wireless remote like C3)
-bass volume located behind the subwoofer (very hard to reach)
-does not include treble volume (will be bad for people who don't like trebles)
-average sized speaker system
-Phil Jones signature speaker
-overall sound quality= great sound but not customizable

ahh... 10 minutes of my life wasted tongue.gif

Finally end up with a RM29 China-made 2.0 usb speaker.
Sound very clear, good depth, unexpectedly wide soundstage but poor bass.
Sounds like 60-70% AegoM satellite. Satisfied.

You own that before? It's a good buy for portable speaker.
I tried Altec Lansing, Edifier, Eacan, Creative, etc during PCfair and finally pick up that one.
Altec Lansing RM79 and Creative RM39 2.0 usb speaker, no fight AT ALL.
I've got to believe my ears.. lol

what brand is that?
and... if can,got a link to show it?

How about altec lansing vs4121?

Got link for the speaker?
How much?
Last but not least, will this speaker last until 5 yrs later?
*
edifier speakers will last for more than 5 years
with about the same price I'd recommend Edifier HCS2330.


and to reply to :+:[J]erR[y]:+:
not much results found for that vicker speaker
is it round or cube shaped?

E3100 got tighter punchy bass compared to the well tuned bass from M3300 but the sound quality lose to M3300

listen it to yourself and let your ears judge it.

However I have another question : Is it worth buying a better speaker cable for the C3?
Thanks for replying in advance.  smile.gif

the given speaker cables are fine icon_rolleyes.gif
the one you have to change is the cable that connects from your PC to Amp. the 3.5mm to RCA cable
change it to a thicker cable. plus something with gold on it brows.gif
