for 2.1 try to squeeze a little juice and get yourself either Edifier HCS2330 or Edifier E3350

2.0 I think you could get Creative Gigaworks T20? not sure about the price

very true lol XD

HTiB (Home Theater in Box)

normally philips,sony,panasonic,etc
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_theater_in_a_box

highly agree...
Altec Lansing used to be awesome speakers that sounded luxurious
Now they're just about the same as some china wannabes. Just slightly lasting

not sure bout the difference in between Edifier E3300 and E3350
to me the E3350 had cleaner sounding trebles compared to E3300
it looks nicer anyway

Added on December 19, 2010, 11:36 pmnot sure but I do know ss2 uses bluish silver donut legs while new ss3 uses black ones.

it surely seems promising but I won't expect big difference in it

m3400 got a vote for me for the ease of warranty and customer service.

creative I dunno

mummy I want nom nom

Edifier S550 wins in terms of sound quality
Logitech Z-5500 wins in terms of connection cuz it has optical input

Edifier R501 MK-II wins immediately without much discussion

hmm... not much cuz R501 got the best bass among the ones I recommend.

Edifier C3 will have mild bass
Edifier S330D surely do bumps but 6.5" subwoofer can't compare with an 8" subwoofer

Maybe Logitech Z-2300 but I don't like how the satellite sounds. (maybe a lil overpriced)

just get the R501

Edifier S530D wins due to it's more balanced tighter subwoofer suspension.

Z-2300 subwoofer felt weak and loose

All IT at lowyat or Ikano power center

or Sri Com at lowyat

mm... lowyat I can confirm they still have them

just hope that stocks are still high cuz I've just read that article saying z-2300 is gonna discontinued

yea i think so

how expensive do they sell it? RM800?

1k

or RM990

comparable?
Harman Kardon Soundsticks II (not sure still available or not)
Harman Kardon Soundsticks III
Creative Gigaworks T3
Edifier S530D

hmm... that's a discontinued model.

last time it's sold in Lowyat but for now it's nowhere to be seen

unless you buy 2nd hand ones
or you buy Eacan A-600II (MX5021 wannabe)

I guess you duwanna be a fan of altecs anymore cuz the new altecs sux compared to the classics

Altec Lansing from the past is like Mitsubishi Lancer 10
Altec Lansing nowadays represents Proton Inspira

I love altecs too... but only the classics. new ones are plain rubbish

good luck finding the MX5012
hope you'll find the older better version

Edifier is like the only best cheap speaker available out there.
the only survivor.
might not sound good sometimes but it's worth the price paid

Logitech is still pretty good.

Eacan could do well if you give them a chance

Creative is good too. But so far the T series sounded decent. Others sounded just like normal basics.
