if mainly for music, should get a 2.0 eg 1080 IV rather than m20w right? since their price almost same....I saw review from china said m20w no tweeter , high frequency poor performance...

hi cyntrix, i wan ask about in what term m200mkII over d1080 since they have same 30w/channel but different price....as i know d1080 use same bass driver as m200mkIII which is nice....

SO for bass, d1080=mkIII >>mkII ?

but by paying extra rm200, is it m200mkII has extra more crisper sound on mid and high compare to d1080?? since its bass poorer than d1080?

*correct me if im wrong.thx

im too far from klang valley, im more keen on crisp sound than bass( so if mkII has "something" better than d1080 , i will sacrifice bass), 2.1 as i guess is muffle as u say, im more to music so choose 2.0.

my budget is rm500 to rm750 , so i wan choose more allrounding that suit my condition ..

So based on ur decision on d1010, is it has more crisper sound compare to m50w?

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?

the extra pay for x3 is it just merely its size, weight, portability , and design?

how bout its SQ compare with its sibling?

is it x3 have almost similar tonal as x4?

the advantage of x4 over m200 and t200 still present in x3? since it has lower price...but it still pricy than mk2 given its vy small driver...

drawback of x3 only insufficient bass amount?

My first impression on m200mk II

A) 2m away from speaker, various genre, middle volume, awesome.

B) 60cm from speaker(nearfield), accapella, middle volume, awesome

C) 60cm away from speaker(nearfield), pop and rock,
i)middle volume, too loud, bad separation, cant hear vocal ,just noise (no music)
ii)low volume, good separation, crisp vocal, but no as enjoyable as 2m away...like using my old 2.1...

cyntrix, am i bought a wrong model for my purpose?? im using it with my laptop, no big lcd, so my head tends to near speaker...

Wait, so you are saying at closer range it doesn't sound as good to you? The reason why you think separation is not as good at nearfield is because of the sheer size of the speaker. It has a very large and overwhelming sound. The M200Mk3 when used nearfield is even more overwhelming which is why we have been stressing not to buy the M200mk3 for nearfield use despite whatever you may read online.

The X series is the king of nearfield. I have the X3 with me now but X4 is the sweet spot. X6 is too huge, never gotten a chance to listen to it yet.

Just a friendly advice, all the X series will see a price hike very soon.

so anyway to overcome my problem ???or shoud i upgrade to x3??

would the m200mkii be alright for movies since the lack of a sub? and whats an optimal distance i shouldconfiguration  them apart? 
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


This is my desktop space and the speakers are approx 3 ft apart is it suitable for the m200mkii?

if can tell me the optimal distance I should have in Feet so i can measure xD and maybe rearrange my space later on.

if i want put it on the shelf like my current speakers also can right?

i own mkii ...action movie and game is awkward...try m50w is wan mix usage but nt so musical as m200mkii...plus ur set up more suitable for 2.1 configuration due to space constrained
