if you are gonna buy the z2300 be prepared as there is ridiculous amount of bass and poor quality satellites speakers wink.gif
that means you'll require a good soundcard to increase the performance of the z2300

gotta agree with you. z2300 required a good sound card to increase the perfomance of the z2300(pc).
but last week. i just paired it with my PS3. the sound is 10x much better. i dont know what is the ps3 audio spec. but it support dts,dolby eventho i dont know what is those things sweat.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

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

Creative are prone to suddenly rosak? Sounds like same quality with Sonic Gear. I was considering Creative before my Z2300 but not many discuss about Creative speakers here.

the volume control in wired remote is quite weak. if u turn it everyday it will give static. but just spray some WD40 its gone. i have one creative 2400 its workin perfectly after the spray.

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.

Looking for 2.1 speakers.

Budget not high... 120+-.

Considering Logitech X-210, Edifier M1335 and Altec Lansing BXR1121. Added... Creative SBS A300

Suggestions please. Just normal music listening+movie+gaming. No need real strong sound.
New into 2.1 speaker set. If base on brand... i will think altec lansing is better but i don't think i can choose based on brand. need ur commentss

Comments i found so far...
x-210: strong bass
bxr-1121: what i like is the aux port. Can connect my hp without disconnecting from laptop.
m1335: Saw a bass controller on the sub. I think it will be quite useful too. But... the size of the sub quite big
SBS A300:...
Haven't have a look on any of the speakers in any shop yet.

Please give some suggestion for other models with around the price range. Another thing is that... can anyone link me to any seller of sonic gear in lowyat? I can't really see any in garage sale.... I mean link me to the thread selling 'new' speakers only. THX!!

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
