2.1 and 5.1 comparision is very subjective. There no such thing as which is better because 2.1 cant perform a 5.1 surround and a 5.1 can perform both 2.1 or 5.1.

For 5.1 surround placing of the speaker are very crucial if u misplace u will say 5.1 is crap due to human mistake.

Hi all,

Yesterday just browse thru shops in lowyat, and found out somes 5.1 speakers selling around RM200-RM300
*Please recommended me a decent 5.1 around this budget. thanks

Another question, is it possible and recommended to mod the wires, as I need the wires for satellite to be longer than the usual.

Distance and room accoustic makes a difference.

But generally you get better SQ from headphones cos there is no room accoustic affect headphone and also, cost of components i guess. Speaker cabinets is also a factor in the cost of a speaker. Example, my speaker has bitumen in it. I think tats the stuff they use to make roads lol. Then labor cost, according to dynaudio, 80% of the cost of making speaker cabinet is labor cost. That why to get a speaker of good SQ, there is a price to pay.

This i totally agree with you. Both also using different techology.
Further more speaker can share the audio when headphone only 1 person at 1 time

What about good 2.0 speakers? To be used for iMac. (not sure if there's dedicated sound card or jus crappy built-ins)

Want a 2.0 instead of 2.1 / 5.1 for simplicity preference.

Some of the ones i can find are :
-Logi Z5 / Z10
-Altec Lansing FX3022 (Im aware of the lousy QC lately)
-Edifier R1900T3 bookshelf
-Creative T20 (T40 too expensive)

Any suggestions to narrow down my options? Or suggest other models? Budget within RM400-500.

History : Used Altec 45.1 for several years already. Pretty happy with its SQ for the price i paid.

THanks

Currently im using Edifier M1335, issit woth to change to Divoom VOOM 2? Tight budget here, or should i stick to my M1335? Or any suggestions?

Haha, don't get me wrong, what I'm trying to say there is distance is not the factor that causes the diff in sound quality btw the multimedia speakers and the HD650. IMO, HD650 sound will always b btr than those multimedia speakers no matter how you place them

Hi,Why not u try Stereo Bluetooth speaker,the brand is 'Blueaudios' with 4" or 5" Subwoofer,the price range between RM168 to Rm228 with acceptable sound quality,u can find it at Sri Computers or Viewnet.

Never try HD650 before but i believe it. Price to performance ratio too far... even tho we are comparing durian with nanas.

Haha i didnt know HD650 was so overprice. Definately very unfair comparison.

Logitech z-5500D = RM1400 vs HD650 = RM2100 (headphone only)

I better buy Bose companion 5 only RM1800.

Hmmm, I tot you said you owned both Z5500 and HD650.... but you're not aware of the price? Anyway, The price of HD650 varies depends on where you get them, it can be as cheap as below Rm1k if you got them from overseas or as high as Rm2.2k if you get them locally.

hello to all the pro out there,

i hvn own any speakers before but i wish to have one in like a week time

i more interested in watching movies and gaming..mostly moviess!
i now confusing about choosing Edifier or Altec Lansing
Both of them seems cool to me and i prefer 2.1 coz really no budget for 5.1.
I need more suggestion which model should i get
coz mostly forumer leave bad comment for the newest version of AL..

pls state which model so i can go lowyat to test it out.... thanks guys...
bdway, my budget is RM250 +/-

Dont get me wrong not everyone in the world are as rich as u can afford to buy a headphone for RM2100 like u. I got mine for free as a present. You are rich i am not. Thanks mate

Bro, this comment unnecessary . We are discussing, not arguing. Besides, i dun feel chingwooi said anything to provoke you, just read it in positive view. Peace.

Btw, i work for every cent to buy my toys since secondary school. I have been a dishwasher boy even

Now, i know ppl say dun compare apple and oranges. But for me, i still like to compare with the condition keep in mind the price and type of fruit we are comparing.

i am also discussing maybe chingwooi try argue i dont know? If ppl compare an apple with an orange means they dunno what they are buying

Its like a car and a plane both does it job take you to your destination but one is faster one is slower one different comfort etc etc. Logical you are unable to compare?
I dunno thats just my opinion.

What's the best speaker for RM1K+ budget?

Usage will be mainly for games and music, maybe a little bit of movie.

I was thinking of Logitech Z-5500D, is there any better speaker than that for the price range and the purpose?

I want a speaker with good quality and doesn't spoil easily as well, first time into buying a good speaker, so what else do I need to take note before buying a speaker?

I know it will still depend on my ears and preference in the end so I'm planning to audit the speaker this weekend and maybe buying it during PC Fair depending on the price and freebies.

Car and plane ah, can compare speed, smoothness of ride, noisy engine etc. Anyways let get back to topic.

Fawkes, i recommend u try Z5500 and Edifier S750. Im not sure the price for edifier, but i have tried it before and its a nice speaker. I like the tight bass and fact it has a tweeter. But u must go try urself. If you have ipod with familiar songs... shud request the promoter to let you use it as source.

For Z5500 is it the newer batches got more problem with control pod? mine still problem free for nearly 4 years.

Haha, that's really funny, if what i said above is also considered as trying to irk you.... Speechless man~ U said u owned HD650 and I was surprised that u r not aware of the price, that's why i asked, I didn't say anything that trying to start an argument until now( did i even say that i bought my HD650 for RM2.1k? I tot I said price of GD650 varies depends on where u bought it from? Pls read carefully ) may b u r a little bit sensitive boss, but obviously ur frens are the one tat is god dang rich
if they really did gv u the HD650 as a gift. May b u r not aware of the price that's why u din noe that HD650 is indeed a very gd cans that needs proper setup to drive it thus it doesn't shine to ur ears.

Anyway, I'm not rich, I collected all the money all by myself little by little to purchase all the item I've owned , not even a single cent from my parents.
