If i have budget for MX5021, any other considerations? I love its sound, i think the clarity is nice enough for my ears. Btw, i've heard about newer batch of MX5021 is having lower SQ, how to differentiate them? Or now all shops selling newer batch?

notice the speaker cone design is different
so you gotta find the old one which have a line on the speaker cone.
that's the good one but I bet you can't find any of them because it's gone forever

I am staying in Singapore btw, how about S330D as compared to T3? tongue.gif

oh if you are at singapore then it's okay

t3 will have more bass compared to s330d
depends on your taste of sound
different people will like different speaker
to me I'll choose T3 if can claim warranty easily here in Malaysia

Do I need to pair a soundcard for T3/S330D/S550 to get better sound quality ?
*
normal on-board soundcard is enough to give great results
only if you are not satisfied with the sound created then a good soundcard is required

guys help..
i'm not really into audio stuffs.. been using a 10 years old acer speaker since sec. school..
now i'm thinking of buying a new speaker with budget rm400. its either a cheap speaker around rm200 (maybe a logitech x-230?? or any other brand to recommend?) + a creative sound card for around rm200 (X-Fi Xtreme Music(OEM) or CREATIVE X-FI Surround 5.1(retail))..
or
rm400 just for a decent set of speakers

like the creative x-fi surround 5.1, but heard so much incompatibility with windows. not sure hows the latest driver la..

appreciate sifus help
*
go get Edifier E3100 for RM170 (highly recommended because it's cheap and good)
and then wait for other ppl to tell you bout soundcard.

few yrs back, my fren got 1 of this.. he said it is not tat good la.. maybe he is more concern about sq.

i got few option for a below rm200 speaker tat can be found at my place. logitech x230, altec lansing VS2521, mircolab M-200 (09), divoom xforce 1 and some sonic gear speakers. all below rm200..

can someone comment on those speakers tat i listed?
thanks..
*
e3100 sq good or bad depends on the person's taste
I'm talking about the functions it can do and how loud can it go

whatever you do please prevent yourself from buying sonic gear. it's worthless
divoom is a good choice.
I've lost hope on altec lansing quality control as their parts are cheap parts now
no idea how microlab will do
logitech is good but the bass ummh.....

you can also try Eacan speakers. They sounded pretty good for the price and they are beautiful too

My cousin had this, sounds excellent and very affordable. The only problem, it died exactly 1 week after warranty expired. Maybe he was just unlucky.

my sis have one and lasted pretty long
4 or more years already i think
sounded good still wink.gif

Then i think i will only consider Edifier M1335 and Logitech X-210. Heard of sonic gear's poor quality too... How about eacan A600MI? Saw it at tropicana mall's carrefour with one satellite spoilt(dunno how to say but the... what is that call? the layer which will vibrate... dunno call what is pushed inside by someone...)

RM120 is low but i don't have much budget for it. Just want to listen to some nice quality music with nice speaker but not to say spend a lot on it. Still a student so budget is always a limitation. Another thing is that... I will be staying with my frens. Can't buy higher power speaker to pump the condo with music... or noise(for some ppl). Even got budget for it... I will be wasting it as i won't utilize the power of the speaker.

So now... M1335/x-210 or eacan A600Mi(i don't actually like the subwoofer and satellite design which will easily spoil it by pressing at them compare to X-210 sub which is downwards firing-i think no ppl will purposely turn it over to spoil it)...
*
if you are worried that the sub will spoil easily by physical acts,then m1335 is the best because everything is covered smile.gif
tested the a600mi and felt like the sub needs improvement inside the enclosure
felt like got echos when played loud,needs more acoustic fluff I guess

u said divoom good choice?? really nice kah?? i like divoom x force 1 design.. look like logitech z5500.. lol.. but never heard it perform yet..

u said divoom nice, their high end speaker nice or even their low end oso nice?? i heard xforce 5 before la.. really boom ur heart out feeling.. but price kinda expensive..

sq depends on the user
but the divoom build quality is good

QUOTE(IwanAGP @ Mar 15 2010, 05:00 PM)
Any place that i can like... listen to the sound quality of the speakers i feel like want to buy? Logitech X-210 and M1335. Choosing between them. Need to hear to the sound quality rather than just reviews. Any shop offer this?

lowyat is always the best place

Yea but... there's always a section specially for speakers. Just walk around that section will do. however... i went to lowyat also. Only found one shop with logitech x-210. None in digital mall. Youtube-d x-210 and found many good review about its strong bass. Going for it!!
*
but the sound will be messy
full 360 degree around you will be BOOM BOOM BOOM with bass and the dealer will keep asking you to buy this and that and others will be pushing you around
basically a good sounding speaker will always sound bad during PC Fair because of interruption and stuff
best to go to a dedicated shop to test then only buy it in PC Fair when satisfied.

With my current C3 + Asus Xonar U1, would it be better than a Edifier S530d without sound card? rclxub.gif

obviously the bass of s530 will pwn c3 even with soundcard and bass boost
not sure about hcs5640 tho

how good was it when compared to M1310?
*
I'm gonna say the physical goodness of it as sound quality you have to hear it yourself
HCS2330
-the satellites features 2 way system (midrange+tweeter)
-6.5" subwoofer (physically louder)
-external amp(for better ventilation)
-wireless remote included
-uses more power
-extra space required

M1310
-satellite doesn't have tweeter (only full range driver)
-great 4" bandpass subwoofer but it's small(physically softer)
-internal amp (bad ventilation)
-wired remote
-uses less power
-save space

Hey, need some recommendations, looking for 2.1 for PC, budget should be around RM250, don't really mind second hand as long as it's good, and don't need to boomy bass, just okay enough will do, what's the best I can get for my budget?

I've juggled around a couple, but mainly thinking about either M3300, C3, or VS4121. Which one would be better? C3 I know is overbudget, so is it really, really worth the top up?

Thanks!
*
c3 is the best among all you've listed there
top it up and get it

but if can't afford then get the little brother edifier c2/hcs2330

Hmm, okay thanks, just wondering if in Edifier C2, there are connections for RCA audio? Just curious.

So, I guess it's C2 then, I saw someone here selling used for RM180, it's quite a deal, I take it? What's the market price for this?

Thanks again.
*
almost all pc speakers supply rca connectors
if not then buy a different wire for RM5 and above.

RM180 for c2 is a good deal
normally it costs RM250 and above

Edifier C3 cost RM400

you can try the low ends like Edifer E3100,M3300 for RM250 and below or the middle end HCS2330 / C2 for RM300 above
