QUOTE(power911 @ Aug 10 2010, 07:22 PM) s730 would be better if in your situation. I think I'll get the S730, tested it at a store just now and it was just like the description. the harmon kardon soundsticks ii works best for computer usage you can try AE Aego M,Logitech Z2300 or Logitech Z5500 if you can top up a bit more Anyway, I wanna get another 2.1 for my hostel room. Have surveyed and still thinking which one should I take and also on tight budget of around 600. 1) Harman Kardon Sound Sticks II (close to 700, but many reviews generally imply it is mediocre for it's price) 2) Aego M (almost 99% positive reviews on this one but 750, quality justified?) 3) Other recommendations? Another noob question, what's the main difference between a 5.1 and a 2.1 if their price is the same(let's say rm800), other than the number of speakers? |

QUOTE(power911 @ Aug 11 2010, 08:54 PM) 2.1 under RM600 thanks for the information! but still thinking is Aego M worth rm750.. if justifiable, dun mind forking out more for it. any opinions on it? why not try Edifier S330D or Edifier C3 excess money you can spend it on a good soundcard or save it up for future use the 5.1 vs 2.1 if price is RM800 2.1=most of the money goes to the sound quality as they don't have to build extra speakers (Edifier S530D... great sounding speaker) 5.1=most of the money wasted on extra speakers,sound quality wise sacrificed(Edifier DA5000PRO,HCS5640... sound quality can't beat the S530) I'd love to pay more for 2.1 rather than 5.1 as surround speakers makes messy wires and such... 2.1 is neat |

QUOTE(Matrix @ Aug 12 2010, 09:39 AM) Aego M dude. I just bought one. Very satisfied. I mainly use it as an amplifier/speaker for my digital piano, occasionally hook up some CD player to it. Other recommendations will be Creative T3, which has a much smaller and compact woofer than Aego, but a bit more expensive. (RM850) i see. but i saw some review that says it lack of bass(although im not a bass head) and suitable for soft music and doesnt do well for movies. nonetheless, will further try it out later. deciding between aego m and edifier s530d now. eliminated harman kardon. IMO, forget 5.1, unless you intend to do proper speaker positioning. If u just put everything in front of you, go for 2.1. QUOTE(power911 @ Aug 12 2010, 02:01 PM) Aego M satellite speakers may look small but it provides serious sound,not to mention it's VERY loud too deciding between aego m and edifier s530d now. will further test it at a local store later. |

Aego M is great but it may turn bass people off. Comparing S730 with Aego M, I find S730 more well rounded with a price difference of around 300. Both of them are awesome nonetheless.
