Thank you  notworthy.gif

If you have to choose from the option that you gave me, which one you will choose? I don't favor Edifier much
*
I would choose Creative Gigaworks T3 for overall goodness + portability
Edifier S530D for great loudness
Aego M for the best sounding music speaker ever
Harman Kardon Soundsticks III for the best looking speaker
Edifier HCS5640 for the most functions available for ordinary speakers
Edifier DA5000PRO for the amazing 5.1 performance

Corsair SP2500? mm... I've never tried this one at stores yet... not much comment though. Gaming power?

Is S530D good? Compared to T3.

HK looks bit fragile to me though.

Aego M, bass high enough for games?
*
S530D got a thumbs up on loudness power with no distortion
T3 got amazing power for such small speakers.

Aego M doesn't have the bass for gaming but soundcards can always tune it. (though Aego M works best for music)
give Corsair SP2500 a try since it's designed for gaming whistling.gif

Hey guys, i would like to have some recommendation of 2.1 speaking priced around RM800. Currently im eyeing on the Aego M but it seems to be an old model although it's still performing pretty impressively. Just wondering, is there any speaker out there has better sound quality than the Aego M typically for music listening?

Thanks.

hi guys, currently thinking to get a new set of speakers. i have done some survey and thinking whether altec lansing vs4621 @ RM280 to 299 is a gd buy as i have not seen its been recommended here be4. my budget arnd 300 400.

review on9 isnt really tat gd but still a decent speakers but some said its not up to their expectation.

or its worth to increase my budget to get edifier C3 ? theres a C2 at home and it serves pretty good. so not gonna get another one.

anyone ? thx
*
you'll get the bass with altec but you'll bet sound quality with edifier icon_rolleyes.gif

c3 is just a warmer louder version of c2 (bass still remain weak like c2)

might as well get the S330 instead

How many inputs it has? That model is very old already right?

How about DA5000 PRO and HCS5640?
I know that those models exceed my stated budget but I just wanna know is it worthy?

I don't want to spend too much on computer speakers as if I do, i will go for z5500 already tongue.gif
*
Old but still gold icon_rolleyes.gif

this is worth the price yo...

of course the DA5000PRO and HCS5640 still performs better than this R501 but for RM400 R501 best bang for buck

why bother buying Logitech Z5500 when you can get the amazing Edifier S550 brows.gif
(no optical input tho)

which would you most recommend me? (i'm like bass alot and i don't have to on it loud to feel the bass)
mainly for music, movies and games (i like the feeling to feel the bass at the heart)
i was wondering why Edifier and not Altec Lansing

and what is the difference between M3300 and M3300SF?
*
I would recommend Edifier M3400 for serious bass
HCS2330 for good overalls
the only difference between m3300 and m3300sf is design only. some say m3300 got more trebles but I don't hear any difference

My usage is to watch movie, music (80% rock songs, 20% others) and gaming. The price for HCS2330 seem to fit my budget.
*
mm, rock songs HCS2330 performs well with it biggrin.gif
but for movies you'll probably need moar BASS drool.gif


QUOTE(zhihao4456 @ May 26 2011, 10:22 AM)
power911, how about Altec Lansing? Is it a good brand for speaker?
Example like the VS4121 is it good?

my home already have Edifier M1335 and i like the bass alot...
I finding something better than this.... Stronger bass and better quality sound
*
If you could find the old classic Altec Lansing then it's a good buy
old ones like VS4121 silver or maybe MX5021 paper cone (not the new smooth cone)

new ones felt weak and cheap though beautiful
parts used are now cheap cost too
I have less trust on them now
though the MX6021 and the imt800 boombox impress me still, with it's solid build quality

QUOTE(Lucifer87 @ May 26 2011, 12:24 PM)
There are always the question between logitech z5500 and edifier S550, which 1 is the best......experience guy please help, i already test it in LYP but can't make decision...

Utilize for 50% movie, 40%music, 10%games
*
Logitech Z5500 for extra digital input and superbly loud bOOmin bass
Edifier S550 for superb clarity and amazing passive radiator subwoofer design

Ok... There is few i had in my mind now... I'm looking for a very good bass (able to feel the beat in my body even in a low or medium volume) and good sound quality... I'm using Edifier M1335, the bass and sound quality are great but i'm looking for a even better 1...

* my budget is RM300 and below...

These are the few i had in my mind:
1) Altec Lansing VS4121
2) Altec Lansing VS4621
3) Edifier HCS2330
4) Edifier M3300

which is best for me from these? Or are there any other suggestion from you guys... Thank You ^^
*
It's either Altec VS4121 or Edifier M3400 (not M3300)

VS4621 doesn't sound as strong as VS4121

I'll choose S550 if i were you  smile.gif and probably will raise the budget to get good HT setup  blush.gif

I've been in ur situation before. Dillema in choosing Z5500 or S550/S730. Been reading lots of review, audit them side by side with variety type of songs and asking few friends who own those speakers. In term of loud, yea both are loud.. but Edifier dont distord even at full volume while Logitech distord at full volume. Logitech produce boomy bass which is good for gaming, and movies, also bassline music. Edifier give controlled bass rather than uncontrolled bass like Logitech but still puching and rumbling. Can feels the bass much more quality and cleaner with Edifier. About mids, Edifier give more clearer sound compared to logitech. Can hear vocal and instruments clearly despite of having loud bass at the same time. And for the last reason (i think), the design.. felt in love with the simple control pod's design, feels good mang  biggrin.gif

if you can find one then yes.
but I doubt you'll be able to find one unless second hand

HCS2330 bass is not as loud as M3400
but
HCS2330 have cleaner bass than M3400

don't get it wrong icon_rolleyes.gif
compare it side by side with the same song and you'll realize M3400 bass is messy but loud while HCS2330 got clean bass but low volume

what do you mean by messy bass and clean bass?
have example?
*
mm... hard to explain...

messy bass like got echo effect (shopping mall PA speaker bass)
clean bass would be something like Headphone Bass

like sometimes one beat
on messy bass the beat will sound more boooom type
while clean ones sounded tight bups (more accurate)

just an example tho, you gotta listen to the real thing to understand sometimes

I like the front beat for this video

* if i found Altec Lansing VS4121 Silver i will just take this *

M3400 surely suits these songs tho icon_rolleyes.gif

enough to punch your chest for cheap

go for it smile.gif

I'll choose HCS2330 mainly because I don't like too much chest punching bass?

Just go for M3400 if you want chest punching bass sweat.gif

However, you can also consider Edifier M1360. power911 & Cosef tested them and they said the sound is amazing.. just RM89 only damm  shocking.gif

Be sure to audit before you choose ur speaker  nod.gif

remember... Edifier M1360 doesn't have USB
