QUOTE(th3_glove20 @ May 18 2010, 02:01 PM) Hi buddies would like to seek for some advice in choosing speaker for MBP 13".. I'd stay away from the companion series (bose) if i were you. JBL duet, i dont know much abt it. Why not consider other brands, if you are spending that much for speakers. Are you looking for compact or something stationary?I'm looking at brand JBL/BOSE... Any JBL/BOSE user here? *Preferably compatible with iPhone/iPod  Cheers  |

QUOTE(th3_glove20 @ May 18 2010, 07:20 PM)  All the while I thought is worth paying for Bose... I've tried with their speakers I think quite good though.. Any other brand?? How about JBL?? Looking for a new speaker... Thanks |

QUOTE(th3_glove20 @ May 18 2010, 08:05 PM) Just briefly read some reviews for both of these speakers, not bad... Not to sure on where to get nearfield studio monitors in Malaysia. Check out the buy/sell section. Prices range about 600-800 I think. I got my ms40s in Australia for 235AUD, so it ranges around there. Audio stuffs in KL abit exp i think. Headphones, can go to Jaben, speakers i dunno. Where can I get to test out the sound quality? Price?  |

QUOTE(th3_glove20 @ May 18 2010, 08:20 PM) Are you using your pair for deskstop? Nope i use it with my MBW. MBP also got digital output. so you can get a pair of toslink -> 3.5 mm jack if you get the behringer ms40 cuz it has multiple outputs, digital, analog etc. LOL, to get better sound from your iphone you probably need to get an amp but if you have the behringer, it has a built in amp, so yeah, there is a very high chance of having a better audio output. I'm not a fanboi of studio monitors, i just like clarity and somehow mainstream speakers like logitech, bose, harman kardon, doesnt really appeal to me. Bare in mind, that im not a basshead so it explains my choice of not having a speaker with woofers, but if you are just a layman sound fella, there is adequate bass on the ms40's, if you want, get a subwoofer in the future and plug it in.I'm will be using for my MBP/iPhone... I don't think it can bring out the full performance of the speakers... |

QUOTE(th3_glove20 @ May 18 2010, 08:41 PM) I see.. Yeap my choice is more towards harder bass, that's why I'm asking about JBL, Bose and harman.... Try klipsch promedia, heard some good reviews. Good luck.I think I've seen some speakers which comes with iPhone/Aux features... |

QUOTE promedia 2.1 GMX? damn good, but quite hard to find lately. but then i didnt look too hard either 2.1 Gmx is the ugliest looking speaker but performance wise, not too bad at all. I used to have a z2300, didnt like the bass. no mids at all...even when i turn the bass to minimum, still got.lol. and bare in mind that the control pod is not for sale, not even from logitech. |

QUOTE(cyberixus @ Jun 2 2010, 01:10 AM) In windows, we can terminate a 'hanged' application by accessing the task manager via ctrl+ALT+DEL or ALT+F4 .... how do you do that in MBP? Search for activity monitor on the search panelI installed Windows Live Messenger for Mac and it 'hanged' !! |

Hey guys,
Ive been using the headphone jack to connect to my speakers and today its not working anymore. There isn;t any sound output. Ive already checked all the settings. The internal speaker works though. Is this the beginning of my MBW deterioration ? lol |
