Save up more while waiting for the beast to arrive and get the Swan MK3 instead. I think the MK3 one of the flagship of the monitor speaker from Swan. I was looking everywhere for it before i bought my HS80m. If only the MK3 would hv been here early, I would definitely go for it. Lower price and reviews are all very good.

Cyntrix please reply me pm regarding the deposit i made thanks

You are correct! We do not encourage people buying speakers based on reviews, it's just like dining in a restaurant basing on review which is nonsensical. However, if you have a reference reviewer then you can gauge the speaker quality more accurately.

Don't worry, there hasn't been a person who'd listened to these and not say they blow Aego M away. The presentation of the M50W is like Sennheiser's HD650, so bear in mind of the warmth.

We'd restock for Heavy Arm, but they don't have a designated and properly designed space for speaker. We considered offering racks like other brands but that's not quite the image we want for these speakers.

Nope. These are same grade as the old Promedia ultra 2.1 (not the current one). The MX5021 wasn't nearly as good but given the downgrade of multimedia market over those days, it was "good" enough. Look at where we are now.

The MX5021 was the beginning of the END of Altec's golden era. The really good Altec speaker was the ACS48.1/AL621/AL641.

But after having listened to the X4 on the desktop, nothing else really matters. X4 takes the permanent place - RM 2000

Well, I guess you'd be surprised by how "big" it sounds. The only thing is that, HiVi should have used a silk dome instead of metal tweeter considering the distance of the speaker from the listener

same here i really like the 1080 btw is it important to get a isolation pad for these speaker?

i some how realised that after sometime the speaker can get quite hot @@ is it normal?

got heatsink is hot but i don think it affect the sq 

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

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.

listen nearfield is too boomy
