Thanks for your suggestion, If got enough space I wouldnt mind to take the woofer~~

If around RM500 and primarily for music usage, then I would suggest Edifier Studio 7 (a.k.a Edifier R2700).

Try looking at Edifier HCS2330 which comes with a remote, and is around RM300...

Quite a number of choices at this price range. If your primary usage is for movies then 2.1 speakers (such as Edifier HCS2330) may be better. And if your primary usage is for music then 2.0 speakers (such as Edifier R1600T) would be suitable...

Around RM100 and tight space, you could look for low budget speakers which are pretty small and mostly 2.0 (stereo) type such as Logitech Z150, Creative SBS A60, etc (and many more, including cap ayam brand ones). If you're willing to spend a little extra (more than RM100) then you may want to consider Edifier M2280 or Edifier M20 USB Hub...

There are more options/choices with 2.1 speaker systems in the mix...

EVO 9 BTMI BLK
Tatoo Duo 3X BTMI

hi,need advice here, which 1 should i take?

thanks for your answer. i guess i go with 2.1 speaker.

evo is better than tatoo quality

Hi guys, planning to buy 2.1 speakers, currently using Asus Xonar U7 as my sound card. My budget is around RM300~RM350, i really like Swans M10 design, how's the speaker? Any other recommendation? Thanks in advance =)

hi
im looking for 2.1 speakers, budget around RM200
any good recomendation?
thanks

hey guys, what are your opinions on the BOSE Companion 5 multimedia speaker?? Would you guys recommend it or there are better choices for that price range?

thanks bro for the reply.

btw, do I need to get another internal sound card like asus sonax to play bring the best of it? or the onboard output will do?

For speaker systems with Bluetooth, you may also want to consider either Edifier PrismaBT or Edifier Spinnaker (our very own forum review here: Special Interest -> Home Entertainment -> Audiophiles -> Edifier E30 Review!, Took a while for me to write this up (PC Audio))...

You may want to take a look at Edifier R1600T III as well, although its just 2.0 stereo speakers. According to specifications, this speaker has better low frequency (bass) response than Swans M10...

Try looking at Edifier M3400, Edifier M2300, or Edifier M3300SF (external review here: Overclock3D :: Review :: Edifier M3300SF 2.1 Speaker Set Review). As always, do audition/test the speakers first to see if it suits your listening preferences...

And what would be your budget range?

You can want to try using the integrated audio first (usually most integrated audio solutions nowadays are pretty adequate). However if you have the budget to get a sound card like ASUS Xonar then go ahead and get it...

Lets say if my budget is around the price of the Bose Companion 5. Would you recommend something else? Using for music more, such as Jrock, oldies, instrumental, basically every genre but listen more on the ones I mentioned.

thanks sifu let me go n try that few speakers recommended maybe this weekend

is speaker size on your concern? usually bose c5 is aim by user who does not have enough space to put speakers, plus money not issue.
u can have a lot of choices because the relation of "bigger size is better" is somewhat true...

lets say a pair of 5" bookshelf & int amplifier, like xls encore (from a forummer here named fx20) will cost you at the range of c5

The most ideal setup would be a 2.0 or 2.1 because my pc is in the bedroom. Aesthetic wise, the AudioEngine A5+ Bamboo has some what capture my eyes. Does the normal A5+ and bamboo one have any difference in sound, I mean since its a different material on enclosure?

i see... c5 or a5 both are OK-type speaker, my choice is a5 because "bigger = better" haha

a 5" like a5 can handle mid & midbass. it will be less unbalance tone and loss of detail being filtered out in crossover circuit. this is very obvious in near field listening.

c5 little satelite cannot, the space saving design rely the powerful subwoofer to help producing mid-bass. u will get the unbalance overtone and that's about it.

i never heard of "using bamboo" as a case material by traditional speaker maker

From your own point of view, what other speakers I can opt for? At the moment Im using a Edifier C3. Btw, where do you guys get your FLAC songs from??

If primarily for music then at the lower end of the budget scale you may want to take a look at Edifier Studio 8 (a.k.a Edifier R2800, our local forum review here: Special Interest -> Home Entertainment -> Audiophiles -> Edifier R2800 Review (MASSIVE)(PICS), Reasonable priced Studio Speakers (Hi-Fi) ) for 2.0 system, or HiVi Swans M50W for 2.1 system. As for the higher end of the budget scale, there are too many choices and combinations to choose from. If spending more isn't a problem then you may want to look at ye olde Wharfdale DX-1 HCP which is quite musical in nature despite its position as a (compact) home theatre surround speaker system...

The m2280 seem a good option for me. Well, I can stretch my budget till 150...

Please note that these are small stereo speakers, thus do not expect them to sound/perform like a 2.1 speaker system or large stereo speaker systems especially when it comes to (very low frequency) bass. Check the frequency response graph below (source: Edifier.tw > Edifier Multimedia® > M2280). As always, try auditioning/testing them first (at the shops) before deciding...

Thx for reminding me about this. Will definitely try them first before buying it.
