Please recommend me a combination of a 2.1 speaker + media box. (Sorry I don't know if it's right for me to ask a recommendation for a media box here, but I have a combine budget.)

Will be using it for my plasma TV. It's used for movies and TV programmes.

The budget for 2 of the devices plused together is RM700.

For the speakers, I would place highest importance on sound CLARITY. BOOM BOOM bass is not important for me.

For media box, it would be a plus if I can play the movies from my computer's hard drive through LAN cables/wifi because my computer is just about 5 feet away from the TV. But sticking a USB stick in is OK for me too if that would give me a better 2.1 speaker.

Thanks yeah!  icon_rolleyes.gif

EDIT: Budget increased to RM700

I think u shud get yangxi HDpro and Edifier S330D.Then I think u shud be able to use spdif to connect the media player n the speaker since im sure the s330d has a better audio decoder than the tv u have.Maybe some pro shud be able to explain further......

I need recommendation from the sifus, I thing the budget that I will spend on the speaker will be not more than RM 800 and most likely I will use it for gaming, rock music, and movies.

Sifus,

Need recommendation for 2.1/ 5.1 that cost not more than RM 900 for gaming, movies, music

Has a balance of bass & clarity, I'm eyeing into Corsair SP2500, JBL Creature & HK SoundStick III...instead of these, any recommendations?

Do I need a soundcard? I'm using Asus Sabertooth X58 mobo

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.

Corsair SP2500.Period.THere are tons of review for this speaker in the net,and I can only agree with the reviews that this speaker KICKS ASS!!!!

for music, you will never go wrong with edifier s730 plus it depends how you feed this beast, must use high quality sound card, music file must be lossless, the cable must change to quality one and etc..

sp2500 also the same thing. Rule of thumb. Crap in crap out.

Hi guys,

Not sure if this is the right thread. I have a Samsung LED 46" hooked to Astro HD (HDMI), and a SFF PC (also hooked to PC via HDMI). I either watch Astro or more often, watch movies on my PC. I plan to add a Blu-Ray/PS3 to this mix soon.

Anyways I'm looking for a 2.1 solution that I can setup for all of these. Since there might be three input sources I guess I need an amplifier as well?

Can anyone suggest a system that would be ideal for movies with the above setups within budget range of RM 1500?

Cheers for any help!

Em, If want to compare with my old Altec Lansing 4100, is it R501 will beat it ?
Today I try out S330 and R501, really hard to decided which 1 want to grab, 1 is for clear sound, another is for surround "boom" ~~~
*
these two re pretty good speakers,each with its own advantages.So, I would say go for R501 if space is not a concern. smile.gif

Guys..my beloved vs4121 bought in 2006 kaput-ed yesterday sad.gif.

Anyone can recommend any speaker repair shop around sunway/subang area?

Or any nice pair of 2.1 speakers that can replace it in terms of sound quality?

I use it for listening to musics and movies, and casual gaming.

budget around rm300!  rclxms.gif

but it would definitely sound better if you squeeze your budget up to RM200 and get Edifier P3060 or Edifier M3400 since you want good deep bass

m1380 vs e3100,which one b8r in terms of bass? hmm.gif
