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.

lucky i din follow the old info from google.. thanks ya i never heard about this shop at all tho..

Thought someone was taking care of your case. We swapped the amp the same week we said we will be fixing it but we found out it was the transformer that died. We are moving and everything has been transferred to the new stockroom so we can only replace it once we settled. We will extend the warranty for the amount of time you did not have the speaker.

In house also so long eh, if just a fuse 5 min also done 

hopefully you get 5 months extension to your warranty

Shipped long time ago, surprising that you have not received it

so happy got back my repaired M50W

but I am so upset and tired after plug in everything and switch on, I see burning smoke come out, freak me out 

Cyntrix, what happen here? Sienz, I have to travel back to Subang Jaya for repair again, so tired and sick of this
