oh u also from miri? what model u wan to buy? According to Cyntrix, he said can order from Rix Trading, try to contact them. If u get it already, can i go ur place do audition?

Yeah, I'm also from miri. Didn't actually expect both dealers are from Miri, thought they would be from some more populated place like KK. I ordered the M50W from Cyntrix, but now I felt like getting the D1080 lol. But from the tracking number Cyntrix gave me, there's still no record of anything yet.

oh.. maybe not yet update from the system, yesterday christmas ma, pos not working. Unless he already ship last week, should be arriving in 2 working days tops.

Ordered on 24th, but got christmas so Cyntrix say don't want to let my gf sitting in the post office warehouse for one whole day, so suppose to be shipped today. So yeah, maybe not yet updated. Getting too excited over this, I'm like tracking my parcel 24/7

congrats on the purchase
do update us when it reaches you with some picture and review
i know the feeling~
its like waiting santa claus

If today ship normally they update at night or midnight depends on the post office. Don worry, tomorrow should arrive but normally poslaju i owes go there self-collect when i see the status is arrive at miri. Cos they owes delay and very slow.

where is the sales thread?

if i often play 320kbps mp3 (since i have limited lossless source), does the difference btw m200mkIII, m200mkII, d1080 is subtle?

furthermore no serious dac such as Lavry dac , just cheapo dac, does the difference subtle?

Speakers make the largest difference, following source (media), DAC, then other accessories.

With eyes closed. You know what you are actually suggesting here?

Source: Petrol
Speaker: Car

Take a GTI and put in Ron 95

Then take a MyVi/Preve/Vios/Altis/Camry and put in Ron 97

Now you go to race....the conclusion is still going to be the same.

EDIT: According to 6moons, the M200Mk3 is actually a Rolls Royce...not even a GTI:

sonic gear vs m200mk3 = saga vs grt r35

i don know why i hate sonic gear that much also

Met someone at Heavy Arm today auditioning the speakers. D1080-IV vs Mk3, guess which one won the heart?

D1080-IV?

Too bad the M60 itself cannot connect to multiple devices at the same time.

You need a pre-amp or processor for that purpose. These speakers are literally high end hifi/ht speakers with the convenience of an amp added to them, making them active. They do not come included with any DAC, Surround processor and etc.

Added on December 28, 2012, 12:21 amANNOUNCEMENT: New Entry Level HiVi Speaker - GT1000


This post has been edited by CyntrixTech: Dec 28 2012, 12:21 AM

lol XBOX themed swan speakers

Went and auditioned nearly all of the HiVi Speakers today in Heavy-Arm. It was truly an eye opener. Would like to share my experience with you guys .

Do note that I'm a noob when it comes to speakers. However, I do share the same appreciation of good music as most of u here. Hence the absence of proper terms used in describing the sound quality will be obvious.

First up was the M10. Well what can I say ? The moment the first song started playing, it blew my current speaker - the altec lansing vs4121 away. Immediately I got anxious, thinking HOLY SHIT ! this is the entry model ?? As mentioned before by Cyntrix, don't be deceived by its size, it packs a lot of punch ! At that moment I seriously couldn't wait to go higher to see what the rest are capable of.

Next up was the A532, the notable difference between these 2 similar priced speakers is the bass. A532 bass is a lot more thicker and the overall sound is " lower ". Personally prefer the m10 because of its all rounder feature .

Then it was time to jump to the next bracket, roll in the DS1010 and DS1080. I went with the DS1010 first and God it was beautiful, I honestly, had goosebumps when the music started playing, once you experienced the D-series, it's likely that you'll never look at the lower ranges again. The clarity you get from this speaker is amazing and for a price of RM 399 ? U can't ask for more.

Next up was the elder brother as the staff called it . DS1080 ! From my experience and base on what was said by the staff, the DS1080 packs a lot more bass than the DS1010, however the clarity of the vocals are lacking. For me, I preferred the DS1010 over the DS1080 .

Honestly at that time I wanted to just settle for the DS1010 and walk out of the shop but the greedy side of me said otherwise. Hence I decided to try the M20w and M50w as well. It's strange because after listening to both, I actually preferred the D series. Steve pointed out that the M20w and M50w speakers are not as bright as the D-series, but their bass are a lot better, giving listeners the ohmp due to the existence of the sub. The M50w in particular is a lot warmer. True enough you do get a more wholesome experience when listening to the M series. He also added that listening to such bright speakers like the D series might be tiring to some people's ears. Whereas the M series are more suited for long usages.

Finally it was time to take the final step, the gorgeous mkm200ii ! If money isn't an issue I would have bought it on the spot. Out of of all the speakers I've tested. This one was just perfect. The clarity was right there. Bass was just nice, complementing the music. Personally, that was the one for me. Without a doubt.

So yeah here I am in a big dilemma, whether to go for the DS1010 or the M20w. Or should I just take the plunge and settle for the mk200mii.

Sorry for the long post. Would like to give a shoutout to Steve and the staff of Heavy Arm store. They were really helpful and friendly, always ready to assist and explain.

The A532 is actually the upgraded model of the M10. But it's not exactly better but different. The A532 has a more mellow sounding satellites, they don't sound as bright. The A532's bass does hit a wee bit lower but loses on SPL that the M10 delivers. So in some way, the M10 is still more engaging but at the same time more fatiguing. Yup, it will blow any typical L/E/A speakers away.

Did you listen to the M200mk2 or mk3? They look almost identical. On desktop, mk2 will be suffice, saves you RM500 also. M200 is what made Swan famous. You will be BLOWN AWAY when you listen to the M200mk2/mk3 at home in a quiet and relax environment, nearfield, on the desktop.

Congratulations to you, you just experienced something that even millions of citizens of the USA would find it very difficult to come by. Yup, many wants to audition them but very hard to find in the states.

I'll probably head over the Heavy Arm tomorrow to help out with any inquiries people may have with the speakers and brand. Don't forget that you can get RM 20 OFF all HiVi speaker purchase this weekend from all our dealers - Heavy Arm, Alex Audio Visual, Rix Trading (EM), and Wellcom PC

Nice review! Damn, after seeing what you said, I kind of regret of buying the M50W, should had go for 2.0 speakers, the M200MKII is just RM20 more.
