well tbh, in term of clarity not that great imo. even my cheap sony earphones give better clarity than this speaker.

any recommendation for speaker that have a better clarity?
*
haha, thats better to understand. since u dont mind used unit, i suggest you look for classic altec lansing like mx5021, 621, cs21.
all these are about the rm300 range and nothing from new can beat.

sometimes i could feel the bass stronger than the vocal . i could feel the table is shaking. If i use  decent box speaker , will it be the same , i mean the table is shaking? the bass will not be as strong as my m1335 right?
*
actually we called it bookshelf speaker, not box speaker.

ok, bass need big cone to push air. m1335 shaking bass becos the 2.1 satelite is too small to handle any bass, so edifier tuning make subwoofer crossover at higher hz (about 250hz). u get good feeling of shaking bass but it not the actual recording.

if u choose 6.5" or bigger size cone, u wont need subwoofer for near field listening. because that thing 1pc is already bigger than whole set of m1335. now u put 1pc on the left side, another one on right side. u will be impressed by the amount of bass compare to m1335.

Forgive my ignorance, what's the point of having a bigger woofer, esp when the sound qualities of a smaller woofer and the bigger woofer are the same? shocking.gif Unless you mean it's bigger and also better in terms of sound quality. But it's a hundred more leh sifu  sad.gif

for my ears, sp2500 beats s530d, the bass in s530d sounds "slow" to me, as in it doesn't react "fast enough"(have no idea how to say this in a better way lol)

but in NO way am I asking you to get a SP2500 as that speaker seems to have a 2 year expiry date sweat.gif

mine and many other users SP2500 spoiled close to or right after warranty ended, I got sick of it and went for something which cost 5 times more than the SP2500  rclxub.gif

new version soon if you're still available.

If possible, do update frequently recommended products (for example: some speakers are no longer produced or not feasible/viable having better models), as well as having a "asking format" (eg: what is their budget, requirement, music genre they listen to etc) especially for the newer folks so it helps everyone be it folks providing recommendation and folks seeking answer. nod.gif

Between HIVI/Swans D1080-IV and Edifier R2600 Studio 6, which is more better for music? Which is able to produce something close to reference speakers? Thanks.
*
probably r2600. But go for real studio monitor if you want flat sounding.

Hi All,
I would like to have a small sound system to play some soft music at my small cafe.
RM1500 for Speakers and an amp if using passive speaker.
Please kindly advise..Thanks.
*
just light background music or u want to fill the room?
buy 2set of edifier s530d is quite capable with both conditions above

passive component cant do much with this budget.

cheapest among the market is wharfedale diamond 8.2 pro which is priced 800-900 one side.

Living area. I don't want unneccesary boomy bass or excessive trebles on default setting. Its ok if the sound is a little warm.

BTW, I though aego m selling at rm999?
*
reduce boom, move spkr away from wall. thats it

flat tuning has a lot more treble than u can imagine. due to human ears natural roll off, it must raise up treble to hear actual recordings.
the only good thing it does not emphasise boost at any frequency

last year it was 7XX not sure about new pricing

Bro, thanks for the feedback.
Actually I'm looking forward to 5.1 setup to fully utilize my sound card.

So comparing Logitech Z906 and Edifier DA5100, the major difference are:
1. Z906 is THX certified, does this certification makes the impact on the speakers?
2. Wattage wise Z906 is 500W, while DA5100 is 120W. Is higher wattage means better sound quality?
2. Edifier DA5100 is much cheaper
Still undecided whether Logitech or Edifier is a better choice. icon_question.gif
*
actually thx is good.
906 is too weak to compare with any original thx select/ thx select2 certified "home use" speakers. not even close to cinema. so just ignore it
i would suggest u to buy s530d until u have allocate budget to proper 5.1 surround setup.
u cant go far using da5100 or 906 yet u lose sound quality

Hi, all... is Altec Lansing VS4621 any good?

Any comments are welcome.. smile.gif

Test it at store with samsung Galaxy Trend plus, can? or need computer one for more accurate?
*
vs4621 is fashion speaker. sure it looks good. sound wise not so
biggest weakness is cone facing down and small subwoofer. using propriety cable which is difficult repair when broken

u can test with handphone or whatever player, placement is very important
