Working hard. Terpaksa bertahan. Haha. Sambil funding hifi.

I'd vote Soundsticks for sound quality or S530D for large,full sound with power

HiVi D1010-iv is around Edifier C3 price

I see, so based on your recommendation, HK SS III's SQ is better than corsair sp2500?

I don't know how HK SS iii sound like but I expect them to be better than SP2500 since it's music oriented speaker.. I was offered pretty cheap last time but due to "gamers" tag and mind set, and better control so I get SP2500.

Actually, the control pod makes thing a lot easier for me. Unless you place SS iii on desk or you barely adjust the bass. For SP2500, the control pod is just on the table and this is pretty easy for me. Another thing I worry about SS iii is the transparent design. I afraid that they will turn yellowish and I'm more confident with woods than glued acrylic. But so far I never bump across SS iii owner complaint this so I admit I was stupid that time.

How is Hivi D1010-iv performance, compared to R2600?

Wow, nice design... But they are pretty small and afraid not rocking enough as C3... C3 locally sold at RM459. And I think postage for 2.1 speaker will cost more than RM50. Not sure because I never try yet.

R2600 sounds a lil harsh in trebles compared to D1010-iv

not too sure bout others but R2600 feels cold while D1010-iv tends to be warm (or muddy in my tainted ears)

Which one of these three will you pick? E25, R2600, or D1010-iv? Warm sound are okay but not muddy. I'm more of clarity guy with an accurate bass.

hey boss, just realized that you're nembiak kuching haha. I am keen on getting the sp2500 but the thing is i cant find it anywhere in kuching. can only find those logitech speakers everywhere. even high end edifier is hard to find. can get here in lowyat, but then the postage fee already 100++. T___T so my best option to save cost is only the soundsticks. I can get those HK SS iii at any switch, so that's why I'm planning to just grab the soundstick.

may i know where you get your sp2500? thanks in advance.

Few things to add. From my memory comparison, SS iii still boomy like SP2500 except they have better treble. Listened to SS iii from ipod and Mac at Apple store, and to my ear they just a little better than SP2500. 4 satellite at each side, of course they will be better than SP2500. But who knows their true performance when played from a better source. Plus, I can't test full potential of the speaker at Apple store.

But SP2500 sensitive to your source too. With T-Muso, more bass quantity but less impact, but no harsh. With UD100, the obvious change is in the clarity. Beautiful treble but can be mood killer in rock, or metal song. But the bass less boomy, and more impact added. IMO SP2500 more suitable for closed range, for computer desk purpose. Their bass sound weird when I used them as a TV speaker as I sit 2-3 ft away. Maybe due to the sub design it self.

If you ask me which one, I prefer SS iii than SP2500. I spend long time with my SP2500 and I think I want to change my speaker. The sound is not my type. That's why I love my Senn HD600. Sound are clean, clear, and the bass not boomy but have a good impact to music, and prove adequate bass on demand. Treble freak.

Hey Pok, I just realize you from Meow meow too. I bought from KL, and I ask my cousin to bring from KL. Logitech speaker really not my type. I prefer Edifier anytime. Logitech bass, . Another good thing about SP2500 is they really functioning as a multimedia speaker. I can change the mod anytime. I know it's just built in EQ but it's really a bonus. If I play classical or instrumental, I just change the mod to classical. If I listened to EDM, hip hop or R&B, I just use dynamic pop mode for more bass impact. And change to pop EQ. I want to play FPS, change to FPS. If I want to emulate large hall sound, just change in the control pod.

I'd go for e25 (eventho I haven't test it yet cuz it looks sexy XDD)
but sound wise, I'll pick D1010-iv because I'd prefer to avoid Edifier's slight harsh treble

That E25 review not bad too. Nice design along with powerful bass, based on review. Yeah, harsh treble can kill the mood. Just like my SP2500 with UD100. Anyway, the muddy sound, is it really bad?

Let me know when you want to let your sp2500 go.

Okay, will let you know... But, still undecided here too. If I can't find a better replacement, I might stick with SP2500. Anyway, how much is SS iii at Kuching? Last time I was offered RM 600 but I passed. Now sold. The reason I hesitated to get SS iii due to bad review at Amazon. SS iii owner here so silent.

I tried out the D1010-iv but IMO the sound is quite veiled and muddy. I used to have Edifier RT1900 TIII and that's a lot better than the D1010IV

RM 600? man, what a bargain if you get it that time. >.< which shop offer you that good price again? huhu.. since you're looking for a better placement, why dont have a visit at onejaya there. there's a LYN member's shop selling PSB nad combo and aego m, if you're interested (which of course i hope you interested ).

Not shop but offered by a guy. What combo is that? NAD 3020 with PSB speaker? That cost me RM2k. And my budget only RM 600, 700 max.

Hey, thanks man. Two person shouldn't be wrong right?

Hi everyone, need opinion on buying NAD d3020 pair with PSB alpha LR1 or Audioengine A5+ pair with D1. Thanks.

what is the meaning of 2.0 ?

that means it's just a pair of speakers without a subwoofer.

the 2.0
2 means 2 full range speakers and .0 means no bass subwoofer

most common speakers would be 2.1 with 2 fullrange speakers and 1 subwoofer

there are also 5.1, or even 7.2 setups

so... I guess you should get the idea how these numbers work?

Not sure of A5 and D1. But NAD D3020 is one of NAD 3020 legendary amp line up. Come with a good DAC and amp, said by reviewer and seller. The speaker however so small. You can google the measurement and try imagine. I plan to get D3020 and get PSB Alpha B1 or Dali Zensor 1 speaker but Agong say no to me so I hunt cheap used hifi set. Now this is hifi zone, no more multimedia speaker.

Ada orang sudah ngetest D 1080 IV kah? Now I'm stuck with Edifier E25 and D 1080. Edifier R1900 TIII, R2600, size too large for my desk. So hard...

Yup I saw lot of compliment on NAD 3020, but just the psb alpha LR1 is too small for the amp...maybe just need to get another speaker like you said...
