Proper review and comparison of all 2.1 speakers

http://www.hardwarezone.com.my/articles/vi...2814&cid=9&pg=4

Razer Mako is now price at RM1099 (down from RM1299)

If you get Razer Mako, you doesn't only buy the THX certified and the brand name. You get what you pay, this speaker really really powerful !

mx5021 user reporting in! love this speakers..make my day!haha

5.1 speaker i using essential. The small type.
so far not bad, the sound can differentiate nicely of the angle.
added 2 more to become 7.1 since i have yamaha amplifier.

Logitech X-540
Best budget 5.1 speakers ever.

compare to divoom,edifier,altec for RM360 price range, which one better??? i also wanna get x-540...but there is only 1 shop sell this in my town..pc depot...n the price is RM355..n i haven't test/listen 2 the speaker yet..i only watch the unbox and bass testing in utube..

Hahah it's been a long time for my last visit at here, congratulate for the new thread =)

powerful than Z Cinema and s730D?

for <RM400 5.1, u can consider Edifier R501 as well.

for 5.1 i am using logitech z-5500D with Asus Xonar D2x sound card no regrets ever since.

If compare loud, Mako not able to defeat S730 and both has tight & heavy bass. S730 lack of mid, while Mako was better in term of high and mid. I'm choose Mako because of the tiny size of speaker No comment on z-cinema as I never test this speaker before.

Just my 2 cents

i want to find a good bass speaker that can go loud...can make my heart feel pain one....can make my mouse pointer shake2....


u tried s730 before right?...between this two which is nicer in term of sound( not design or size of the speaker)...and how loud can mako go?


anyone tried bose companion 3 or 5? how does it sounds compared to mako and s730?...and price in msia if anyone know?....

i watch mako unbox in utube ..but im still in high school...logitech x-540 will be enough for me...cz it hard to get 1k..hheheh...

If u are consider bose companion 3 or 5 . Try z-5500D logitech. It will blast those speaker to hell because of the 10inch sub woofer

but it is 5.1...i would prefer 2.1 only because my room is not that big....but yaaa...z5500 is the best i guess...hurmmm...now im confuse again which one to buy..

its a 5.1 but u can choose how u want the speaker to perform. When listening to music i will let it play thru ASIO for the amazing output quality. When movie i switch the 5.1 on. When music i let it run on 4.1 or 2.1
No regrets. My room not big either. The smaller the better the more amazing the surround sound is\

Some day if have chance u can find someone to demo it i bet watever speaker ure consider getting now will change your mind. Last time my bass made my neighbour two doors away banging on my door because of the bass

lol bro u still havnt got the "basshead" speaker until today?

my z-5500D is entering its 4th year already still works great. Havent found a speaker to replace my z-5500D yet

As you mentioned your requirement, for 2.1 speaker is only S730 suit you. If place S730 in large living room, I guess you not able to feel the heart pain & mouse pointer shaking but the bass still very very strong !

Entry level hifi/ht Same feel only better, tigher, louder

wow haha u have the same previous setup as mine.

Before Altec VS4121 then now Z-5500D.

For basshead VS4121 is ideal for its price and power.

My budget is around RM250 - 300, please recommend me a 2.1 PC speaker pls, really appreciate your input here.

i dont have the chance to test z5500 yet...if i use only 2 satellites only, would the sound be not nice?...my budget are quite tight..if i take z5500, i cant buy a decent soundcard yet... im targeting 1000 for speaker and 400 for SC...but when u say i will change what i have consider if i ever listen to z5500, it make me think twice....

in your opinion, z5500 still can perform well without SC?...


not yet bro....i cant make up my mind yet....i want to find a really2 good speaker that confirm will statisfied me....i got budget 13++..sumthing around that...so im not sure which one is the best....i never test z5500 yet...i already test z Cinema and s730D...but aspire say both are no match for z5500...and make me start to think twice whether issit better for me to top up abit my speaker budget and buy the z5500 and put on hold on the sound card1st or buy zcinema or s730d or razer mako and yet can buy a decent SC...


now im not quite sure wheter to take 5.1 or 2.1 only...

tq for the opinion and advice.....i will consider it...

haha, im sure Z5500 will blast Zcinema away. i once heard its cranked up, not to the max though. if u compare Z5500 with S730 or S550, im pretty sure Z5500 has the edge in the sub. thats not because of the spec, because of the reviews and the fact that logitech is specialized in making bassy speakers. while edifier focus more on the highs than the lows.

at this review, at the conclusion it clearly suggest that the S550 (not S730) needs to be "lower" in frequency. i wonder if we share similar genres of speakers, you would want to find speakers with lower frequency response.

thus, i would go for speakers that has the lowest true frequency response, which is Z5500. but since im not a big fans of logitech i went for something else. although i must admit the control pod of the Z5500 is interesting. that is the part where logitech excels, their z680 and z5500 control pod, and their zcinema remote control.

so Zcinema is a no no for me?

thanks for the link...but as u can see in the link,as what i understand, y the tester say that in term of quality and overall edi s550 is more better...y ya? i read the translate version,quite hard to understand fully what he is try to say...

what does it mean by the suggestion for "need to be lower Frequency" for s550.....can explain more on that?

what did u get for your self? a speaker more superior that z5500?...

it says the the bottom frequency response of S550 is much higher than Z5500. although it states 20hz - 20khz freq response, of course, the spec is not totally accurate. S550 start to be effective from 40hz onwards. im sure z5500 is lower, because when i audition Z5500 and S730, i can straight tell Z5500 has lower response.

yes the reviews do criticize Z5500 on using thin materials for the subwoofer enclosure which is ridiculous, as well as their one-way satellites compared to two-way in S550. but i can understand that their decoder needs developments etc, which shows that the price u pay went much for the decoder and control pod. as i said, upon looking at them u should know that bass lover would take Z5500 home and treble freak would buy S550.

hmm i didnt buy anything now. still using the old ifi. its more of a living room speakers compared to Z5500 which is computer speakers, therefore are not comparable. im currently waiting whether the new klipsch promedia 2.1 wireless exported to south-east asia market. if it does, surely get it. looks great. although it surely reach about 2010. now using my edifier R501 until i found a new replacement. Z5500 and S550 is too big for my room. lol.

I don't really like z5500 bass, not tight as S730. and don't forget to buy a SC as well. Good luck to your shopping

ok2...thanx alot for the explanation...i think i will get the z5500 instead..im a bass head person...but need to sacrifice the soundcard money 1st..


ok bro...tq2

Basshead go for Z5500 It has the power when u want it though seldom can utilise it unless your house is like mine. Behind is sungai, left is empty lot, right is plant nursery, front is road. No neighbours to complain me... haha. But the songs i listen too is not basshead type anyways so outside my room is not very noisy in the first place.

This post has been edited by dlyz: Nov 9 2009, 11:11 AM

i would recommend Edifier M3300 (RM 239) - its the best in terms of clarity and music (but not for bassheads-not punchy enough)

p.s i'm using one myself - for better review u can check m3300 thread in this forum.

For me i dont believe reviews. I believe my ears because even a speaker system cost 10k if the source is crappy it will sound crappy on tat 10k system.
Z-5500D is not only for bass u can tune its treble as well. Like i said your source matters. Currently i combine my z-5500D with Xonar D2X with Foobar thru ASIO. U should listen to it. Music have never been the same to me ever since.


My personal opinion i invest heavily on my speakers system because even the era from windows 95 to windows 7 your speaker still works fine. A computer system gets outdated within a year or 2.

Added on November 10, 2009, 9:25 pmBasshead or not it depends on the placing of your subwoofer. You put your sub against different material it creates different effect. For me i put it against wood it creates a more warm bass then those noisy ones. If you put your sub against the air then it only creates noise

This post has been edited by aspire2oo6: Nov 10 2009, 09:29 PM

can show picture how you setup your z5500 bro aspire?

Well, i bought Altec Lansing VS3251 and have to say quite disappointed with 5.1. Sounds crappy because most videos and all mp3 dont support it. Some games do and it's nice. I notice when i switch to 5.1 mode, alot of bass is lost. When i change to 2.1 (on my pc and speakers), seems to have more realistic bass. If i knew this earlier, i would have just bought 2.1. Anyone wanna buy my 1 week old system for RM350?

well definitely, im just referring to the rightmark graphs. even though they may not be totally accurate, for the lower boundary, it gives a "clue" on how low the subwoofer can play.

i also agree that speakers does not depreciate quickly, so it's not bad for investment. the good thing is, speaker are quite versatile, can be used on many purpose, unlike something like graphic card, which have different interfaces and etc over years.

dejavu, i am just reading this review and at the cons of Altec 3251 it says bass is eliminated in 5.1 mode. if you want more bass, u can tweak your soundcard or music software to produce more bass. of course it wouldnt always result in excellent bass reproduction.

Exactly, if i knew earlier, would just stick with 2.1. We are not ready for 5.1 yet.

hey guys,wanna ask
I heard that Altec Lansing quality degraded
but is altec lansing MX5021 still a good speaker for a normal user like me?
bass,midrange and treble good?

I just bought the z5500. My first impression was, "what the hell? My 11-12 year old Altec Lansing ADA880 sounds better!" Was so disappointed and then started to fiddle with all the settings to try to improve the sound. But then I let it run in for a few hours, and then the sound started to get better. Goes to prove that it requires burn in and burn in is real. Or maybe after a while I became immune to the bad quality! lol, but no, I believe it just needed burn in.

With regards to the bass being too loud, I didn't feel that at all, not because I'm a basshead. I think mine's the new version and that they took the feedback about the over empowering bass and reduced it. Why do I say that? because at some point I thought my bass was not working. I was like WTF! My sub woofer is not working, I'll need to RMA and put my head/ear next to the sound outlet by the side of the sub woofer (aiya, I don't know how to describe la), and then I could feel some air coming out, so I was like "ok ok .. it works. The sub woofer was a bit tight at the start. Took a long time to loosen up and sound better.

Then I bought a Compass Amp and Denon D2000 & Sennheiser HD650 headphones. I don't use my speakers anymore ... Can't stand the sound compared to the headphones. Like the speakers are making the songs worst! @.@ but need to listen to it when my ears can't take the headphones anymore @.@

BUT, conclusion is, today the z5500 sounds a lot better than it did during the first day. I run it through the Compass DAC/Amp via coaxial/rca. And it sounds better than my 12 year old Altec Lansing ADA880 Thank God.

Hehe, how's the sound of Denon D2k compared to HD650?

That's what happen to me while using my new Altec VS3251. I think next time just going to invest in the real deal. What i mean is real home theater systems.

is it that bad?


ohh mai...now im confuse

I guess thats human bug. Some ppl they do not make enough research to know what they are buying? Cannot be in z5500 thread 100 ppl say its good and 1 person complain its crap? Who should we listen?
There so many aspect a person should look when they are talking about audio. This problem is common in malaysia its like a person see everyone say Samsung JET is cool can do tis do that ppl buy even the price is high without thinking then complain how sux it is. Think again the problem its not the phone its the user itself because he/she/it do not know how to fully utlize its features or enchance it.

All i can tell u is My z-5500D is 4 years old and i do not have any of your problem u describe until today. I even own a HD650 headphones i can tell you that headphones can never own z-5500D. Furthermore the sound from z-5500D i already tested and compare many speakers in the market including mid end hifi . I am very happy in my investment

Added on November 14, 2009, 10:02 amBefore u are confuse go out and ask 100 ppl what they think about it and come back?
Dont because there is a bad apple in the basket means u have to throw away the entire basket.

If 100 ppl say the thing is bad and 1 said good then there is a huge problem with the thing. But this case is 1 say bad 100 say good

Different people, different taste, you cant say he is right or wrong. Just my opinion.

I do agree with him generally headphones are musical compare to Z5500 but dont mean Z5500 is bad, i had try a entry level sennheiser and hated it haha. Depend on taste.

Back 4 years ago, when i was research Z5500, i did come across negative reviews, mostly complain bass.... i can say, after i start play hifi, i understand what they mean. But 1 sen product 1 sen performance.... i accept Z5500 and i still love it. I change the sub level to 2 and 1/3 bar. Just my opinion, dun flame me.

This post has been edited by dlyz: Nov 14 2009, 11:17 AM

Well, it may seem that way to you, but you're just making an assumption. I did do my research. It's not that I didn't know that the z5500 wouldn't sound good for music, I knew it wouldn't because lots of people online said so. It was OK but not great. What you did not understand from my message is that compared to decent headphones, they're not so good. But if you don't have decent headphones to compare them to, by all means, buy them! They don't sound bad. I bought them because I was replacing a 5.1 ADA880 and even though I knew that 2.1 was said to sound better for music, did not want to take that 'mental downgrade' to 2.1. (more speakers more cool mah also has all the DTS, bells & whistles). So, no, I don't blindly spend RM1300 on things that I don't know the quality of, or at least done some research on. That's your own presumption, not reality.

As to your 4 year old z5500D not having the problem that I described, I'm not trying to put the product down. I'm still keeping the unit, because I think it's decent. Just not great for music, that's why I'm thinking about buying an Aego M just to try it out in the office for music. The things that I described above are my own experience and I don't know about you, but if you can't say the quality of sound from a HD650 powered by a proper amp can't own the quality of music on the z5500, then pardon me saying but no offense, that's just wrong. Either the quality of your source or your amp or maybe u're the 1 in 100 that say it is bad. It's well known that headphones when compared to equivalent priced speakers, just sound a lot better for the $$ spent (don't count those gaming headphones like Megalodon la, those sux for music ).

As to who should we listen to? Go listen to the unit yourself! You can test one out at the PJ Digital Mall. They have a unit at the top floor.

If you're looking for a 5.1 system, I'd recommend it compared to the other 5.1 systems in the market. If you're looking for speakers good for music, people here seems to say Aego M. If its compatible with you, why not try out headphones. There are plenty of good ones that don't require an amp to sound good.

---

Added on November 14, 2009, 1:07 pmAgreed, I did not say the z5500 is bad. I thought my ADA880 was good. And the z5500 is better. So that's great! But yes, good headphones just sounds better.

---

Added on November 14, 2009, 1:08 pmNo, it's not bad, go buy it. Unless you're really picky about the music quality that you listen to. It's great for games and movies.

This post has been edited by shuto1: Nov 14 2009, 01:08 PM

now i must be very careful because i am quite confuse and unsure...may i know where can i audit/ test this z5500? if got a quiet place, it is more better...

someone happen to live in mallaca that own z5500? hehe...

if no choice, need to go to lowyat la to test this speaker..but which shop ya?

Just a reminder. The audio source is very important including the sound card itself. If you are planning to listen to audio at 128kbps and below i do not recommend z-5500D.
Lowyat places they do not have quality source or device for conversion. So u wont be able to fully enjoy the quality. The best u find someone that have a fullset to test.

I can let u test mine if u need mine is combo with Xonar D2X sound card for movie and audio with ASIO without any amp. I tested my speaker on transformer 2 Bluray version i myself was amaze at the surround sound.

Example u cant compare a headphone and a speaker system because Speakers need to project the sound to a bigger area when headphone its just beside your ears so the quality or wave signal is alittle different.

Especially audio i am very picky with audio quality bitrate most songs i keep minimum 192kbps or else u hear cracking sound on the z-5500D. On the headphone it wont be so obvious because the volume is always lower compare to a speaker.


The last i tested this song Haley - This Is How It Goes (Kaskade's Grand Club Edit).mp3 at 320kbps at maximum volume the bass is capable to shake the entire house until the grill near my main door its shaking,
The bass gets strong and solid the higher the volume gets. You can adjust the bass with your remote control. Another thing a 2.1 system and 5.1 system the speaker placing is very important as well to get the optimum experience.


This just my personali experience on my Logitech z-5500D .

---

Added on November 14, 2009, 6:44 pmIf u say like tat say even my earphone Mylarone Bijou i think its better than my z-5500D for clarity and treble but a speaker is a speaker a earphone is a earphone. Have u tried using good earphone on phones like Nokia. The output from good become crappy due to the processing unit. Sound is a very subjective topic but the basic source must be good. The part u say compare with other 5.1 systems i agree . If compare with headphone of course its an unfair comparison.

This post has been edited by aspire2oo6: Nov 14 2009, 06:59 PM

thanx for the advice...dun worry..me myself prefer song with 320Kbps...

where u live ya? maybe we can arrange time to test your speaker....

I live in Batu Feringgi near Eden or The Ship in penang. Let me know if u are dropping by.

Em,

Altho it's really a little bit unfair to compare headphone to speakers, but frankly speaking, I did prefer my Sennheiser HD650 over my Edifier S730D as well for stuff like music listening. I love my speakers no doubt, it's just like I can hear much details on my headphone, and yes, HD650's clarity is still btr than Edifier S730D~ Edifier suxs? Haha, I don't think so, when it comes to movie experience, a speaker will no doubt a btr option than a headphone.

Imagine someone speak beside your ear is clearer or speaking 100m away is clearer?

Guys, i'm looking for a speaker for music and movies.. Which one is better?

Logitech X-540 or Edifier C3?

My budget is RM400 max.. Thanks ya

FOr lower end speakers should take Edifier C3.
Are u more into Bass or treble?

I'm more into bass but a balance mix of both would be good..
Does the C3 produce nice sound? Should be better that the X-540 right?

C3 sounds nice but the bass is weak, especially for a sub that size. must tweak your soundcard till max then can obtain decent bass. i recommend u to listen first prior to purchase.

anyway for X540, it should compete with edifier R501. also 400 range.

Oic.. The sub is huge but still produces weak bass?

So for X540 and R501, which one is better?

This post has been edited by FaezFarhan: Nov 16 2009, 01:15 AM

yup because its not designed for boom2 party or gaming speakers. instead its for music, so in order to achieve great bass u need to crank it up till very loud.

i prefer R501 because it has bigger subwoofer, in loud volume it has capability to go beyond X540. X540 has stronger bass in medium volume, but when cranked up all the way, since it only has 5.25 inch sub then its physically limited. u can read reviews about R501, its a good speaker. but be sure to listen before making decision.

harmon kardon i guess

LOL, I don't think distance is the factor that causes the difference, in my opinion HD650 is way btr than a lot of multimedia speakers out there.

distance make the difference on a speaker. Omg if distance is not the factor try put a 5.1 surround speakers left one 1m away the right 1 put 2m away see wat will happen?

If who compare a headphone and a speaker system doesnt know much about sound. Try go to a hifi shop and tell the seller u comparing a headphone and a speaker system u see who will be laughed


Just for your info a headphone or earphone is like electromagnetic radiation magnet imagine u use it for radio it able to get reception. Your body is the antenna itself.

This post has been edited by aspire2oo6: Nov 17 2009, 10:00 AM

Distance does make a difference. When playing for Left4Dead on 5.1, i cant hear my rear speakers because placed too far behind. I have to crank up the rear volume. Still, i believe 2.1 is better than 5.1.

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.

This post has been edited by dlyz: Nov 27 2009, 09:10 AM

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.

currently been using a klipsch 2.1 GMX for nearly 7 years ... (damn i feel old now )

any suggestions of other 2.1 speakers ? spending cap ~RM3k ish ... general purpose usage of course, games, movie, different music ...

Any suggestions for 2.1 speakers ?Budget <200 , i looking at the M3310 right now...is it gud?

creative sbs a500, sonic gear enzo 4000, or any altec lansing which is in ur budget range...

i would suggest M3300, i have one and all i can say that you will love it if you love clarity of sound.. but its not for basshead - bass a bit too muffle/muddy.. see reviews below:-

Alrite, thanks =)

you can also choose E3100

Such a big budget, please consider hifi system. 1k or less for speaker, 1.5k ish for amp, sub i not sure 700-1k? a couple hundred for cables.

Went to audit Z-5500D today in Digital Mall but the unit there is spoiled, they said that the product is discontinued.

Do you guys think it is still worthy to buy? Have to think about warranty issue.

Do you think Logitech will come out with another new product to replace it?

space constraint unfortunately. so still looking at 2.1 speakers. what would you suggest for 1.5k ?

Hmmm, didnt know Logitech also suffers from quality issues. Perhaps the one at the shop was an isolated incidentt? I am targetting Logitech Z-2300, the only system which offers 200watts for below RM600.

u may want to try the jamo i300 or bose companion 5.

i think almost all multimedia speakers producer suffer from quality issue... rarely see any brand produce perfect speakers...

Is 1k+ budget enough for a good bookshelves system?

1k... try seach audio engine powered bookshelf.... hifi.. hard to do unless everything 2nd hand, but ussually very old.
