QUOTE(CyntrixTech @ Dec 6 2012, 02:16 AM) What's there to compare? Are the speakers heavy? Aego M blows Soundstick away, and M50W blows Aego M away by a very large margin. Although it's best we leave the remarks to owners |

Got my M50W from HeavyArm today. Burning-in process begins! Well the music I listen to suits 2.1 much much better. It depends on your music and you ears

The bass on mine is still a bit boomy. Well, used it for about 5 hours only so far so no complain lol. Need to wait for it to loosen up first. The detail is very good. Warm sound just the way I like it, with the tweeter doing it's job perfectly when it needs to.
For the time being the placement of the satellite isn't very good, it's too close together so I can't really test the soundstage yet. Need to find a bigger table soon. |

The detail & soundstage when playing Hotel California on the M50W is great!

Any external soundcard that will improve my Swan M50W? Currently using directly from my Macbook Air.

QUOTE(ben3003 @ Jan 1 2013, 10:20 AM) i think those USB DAC would be good, but dunno Cyntrix bringing in any good DAC soon to pair with HiVi or not Looking at the Sabre DAC for the moment. Quite resonable at RM140 |

QUOTE(CyntrixTech @ Jan 5 2013, 09:53 PM) Haven't recabled the speakers yet? You can get some silver wires, terminate to RCA on one end and bare wire on the other. Brightens up the speaker I got the Sabre DAC and it made the speakers a bit brighter already. Scared it'll be too bright hmm. Any recommended cable? |

Guys I'm using the M50W with Asus Xonar Essence STX. Should I route the left and right speaker channel directly to the soundcard? Or I can only direct it to the subwoofer?
