oh, will take consideration, yay i also thinking trying different model

Sifu, any review of you for this speakers?

hmm, I like sweet vocal with jumping climax and massive sound stage
Whitney Houston's live performances - She was so dynamic in performing back in the days, over the max standard

and Some of vocal famous tracks I love so much:
李娜 Li Na / 韩红 - Tibetan Plateau (青藏高原)
Vitas
Adele
蔡琴 Tsai Chin
Inva Mula - Il dolce suono + The Diva Dance
Ofra Haza - Im Nin'Alu

For bass tracks, I like Lady Gaga:
Telephone
Bad Romance
Poker Face

and many famous tracks, etc...

Any IT shops nearby KLCC where I can grab speakers?

Sifu may I know where is the volume control for M3400?

Just now go test some cheap speakers, those really cannot be compared to Swans M200MKII & M50W, some of the models that are OK:

Edifier C3 (This one out of my cheap budget )
Edifier M3400 (This one they said no produce jor, zzz then y put there? )
Blue Thunder I (This one still sell like hot cake )

Eventually I still bought a BLUE THUNDER, no choice

Wanna test new age yay? Test this track by S.E.N.S

Palace Memory



When begin I was begin listening M200MKII, I kinda lost when those punchy bass is not found in this model, but as time goes by I eventually understand the sweetness of M200MKII lies within soothing, fine controlled, massive soundstage instead of powerful bass which can be hurt to our ears, indeed I purposely chop off bass using equalizer, realize that we just need a small portion of bass in most music listening to relax

BTW, what's your setup on M200MKII? I simply output from my HTC Desire HD with bass reduce only

Advice for Swan M50W, this model got tight bass, but cannot fully utilized (I mean the subwoofer amount button), btw heat generated is quite hot, and some percentage of units got power problem, I just have mine down within 1 month , they said fuse got problem

haha...such a word u use INTOXICATED,

what you want more?

haha...kinda lost in the UNIVERSE to listen those tracks need some rhythm to bring me back to Earth, then to hell then to heaven and finally back to myself

Try this drum punches + percussion + flute chant track

what's the SQ of Harmon Kardon sticks compare to C3?

Agree to test on spot.

But in practical it's kinda awkward to do all those listening setup though, especially when there are customers there. I suggest to pick few best source tracks to test, especially those not too subjective to yourself (maybe you hear it too often, and become no feel ady).


I personally own 2 HiVi Swans, i.e. M50W and M200MKII, generally they sound good and the main thing is tight control, everything under almost full control with almost distortion free.

After few months listening of M200MKII, I found that I do not prefer the bass and treble layer knobs on the speakers, indeed I turn it to zero, instead I tweak using player equalizer, set it to soft treble, sound clean and less messy to me, once again I have to say you will be impress with the tight control and sweet soundstage of M200MKII.

For the gaming/movie speakers M50W, I send it for repair , this model got bit problem in power and generating a lot of heat, but in terms of bass layer (I mean color bass, those bass layers you intentionally added to make more punchies to your tracks), it's strong. My advice is off this speakers if not in use.

yay, pleasant bass signature, some bass layers just bounce back and just woom woom woom, and not as solid when generated for listen

-3 is because your tracks too much bass? Or the song genre? Or C3 bass initially is too strong and cannot be up again? This same happen to HiVi Swans M50W, the subwoofer gain volume knob cannot be abused.

Speakers isolation seems too complicated to me


BTW, I try playing music using the foobar and wasapi, but din find any difference in noise/hiss reduce in live performance, this is it?

If like this, that could be my cheap mini USB DAC not support those features, I prefer mostly live tracks, they resemble what music true form is, sadly most best live performance result in bad recording, which DACs you use support those features?

ya, I do remember an illustration by somebody said that it's like something mix in flour with water and your cooking ingredients, to remove some ingredients from a piece of baked cake, kinda impossible/unpractical to do

I got a feeling the 5.1 is something you should not get into, just my direct sense, sound too decorative to me

Or better read more reviews, if not regret

hmm, audiophile always said one thing do one type of stuff, true I think.

Coz from my experience with M200MKII, it is the most sweetest speakers I have ever heard, it is being rated as a mini 2.0 Hi-Fi system, but if you listen back to 2.1 then you found that some bass layers are gone, and then you will be struggle. My suggestion is you buy 1 set 2.0 and keep your 2.1 set.

The M200MKII is easy setup, plug n play, smooth, sweet, relax sound, looks classy (wood feel) and most bass layers still can be pumped out in massive sound stage, just some electronic bass and drum punches it may not work that good, but think of that also not much tracks if you are not listening those dj tracks.

not that expensive eh...You go get from Heavy arm game store, Subang Jaya, only RM729 something

yay, i think it's here https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2621430/all

I am sick of my Bllue Thunder I SQ , my Swans M50W not yet done repair zzz

You all got use of the Bose 5 2.1?

Seem like this is not real good speakers. hmm Another speakers I have rarely heard review here is Klipsch Promedia 2.1, it's high rated and high price too
