the VS4121 has it's satelite facing down too.... it sounds good too with music...

I have VS2521... any comment on that? O.o
*
4121 subwoofer is bigger. now 4621 octane7 made it smaller. the altec company is sold to plantronic after 2005, jbl the co founder pun sudah masuk harmon kardon group.
thats why they dont produce worthy product anymore

u can go altec website... their latest speaker is for bathroom use one. hahaha

I recommend sp25 becos it follow the sucessful 2.1 pc speaker layout and compoments like old altec.

8" wont be weak for bass. U can adjust it anyway. What good system does those online reviewer using? Seriously Still pc speakers?

speaker specs is reference only. Wont reflect the real time listening. Nobody is honest, so Find free time to listen them

t3 no tweeter, mako is worse than t3
forget about hivi swan becos i dont like their tuning.

well, u see every new set of spkr has uncontrolled tweeter spike before run in. after a few weeks of playing it will return to normal.

530 weak bass? hahaha must be noob review ppl who fail to realize crossover point or wrong placement. also stating "silk dome tweeter" is very sharp high... cannot be trusted at all

klipsch got good sub, but u wont like the horn load tweeter

av40 just forget it. wont do any good be in listening or recording.

my 1st speaker is VS4121 blue LED.. the satellite is ok but the bass is too boomy for me... can hear the bass sound. then change to ATP3. the satellite impress me! so clear and clean.. used it to my pc and so satisfied with the sounds and now plug in that speaker to my tv.. now, i used Logitech X-230. bass and the satellite produce balanced sound. the woofer is not so big but the bass sound is shocking me. so valuable speaker that i bought so far. all my speaker is 2nd hand. no new one..
*
x230 is keeper. Now u cant find any good sound at low price any more

bought the S530D,
not an audiophiles, but why do I feel like the old Altec Lansing 45.1 have better bass?
*
different crossover point

QUOTE(power911 @ Apr 3 2015, 09:22 PM)
I wouldn't call altec 45.1 better bass but louder.
All Edifier speakers generally had tamed bass compared to altecs famous wild bass.

Some may disappoint but most people who has gotten used to Edifier bass never go back to altec bass but shifted to HiFi
*
im still listen to old altec after upgraded becos no other choices at low price that can satisfy my listening

QUOTE(lala_cai @ Apr 3 2015, 11:19 PM)
I see, maybe I'm too used to the AL bass.
initially I was expecting a significant improvement in terms of SQ, but it was a let down for me.
either I set my expectation too high or I dun really know how to listen. lol

dont worry. Just follow ur heart.

Wish to ask sifu here how long does a speaker last?
My logitech z506 just broke last week just after merely 3 years and 3 months.
Kind of lost trust in the brand.

old altec from 1999 and 2007 still working.

I may be on the wrong thread, but any thread here teaches precautions to protect our speakers from sudden death?
This was what happened to my speaker. speaker power plug plugged into belkin surge protector. When I switched on surge protector, heard rather loud "pop" sound, maybe from subwoofer, (speaker ON/OFF switch is OFF), then the speaker no longer turns on...very sad my 5.1 speaker gone after just 3 years.
*
sorry to hear that. Actually i never use any surge protector or filter on speaker. Just on--off like everybody else doing

So far i only know atlast this company carrying this bose, will go and visit their store to test 1st, i read review saying bose produce too much bass and weak at mid and high.
*
like that review is bad placement problem.
take note every new speaker need time to run in

QUOTE(Hawaiiii @ Apr 7 2015, 05:22 PM)
For desktop better use 2.1, 5.1 is too messy and not actually good for music.
*
actually 5.1 can be good one. need moolah to invest SACD moneyflies.gif

I lay cable all over the floor. Looks not so bad.
Indeed stereo upmix to surround need a good processing driver and pc often fail at that

I'm currently looking for a choice of speakers (no idea it's called speakers or subwoofer system) with a price of under RM300. I mainly use the speakers as an audio surroundsound for movies or gaming, sometimes for acute listening for QC on music files I've downloaded or bought. Any recommendations?
*
300 wont go far away from edifier, logitech and altec. good stuffs are not in this price range anymore. thats why u see only little choices here. what speaker do u own now?
