Hello guys recommend me speaker under rm500

Usage 60% game 40% music

Prefer to have good bass. Was eyeing logi z623

hey guys, looking for a 2.0 stereo set with decent bass drivers for music listening. Budget less than 600.
Using it for 80% music, 20% gaming. Hope the size is not too big to fit on my tiny desk.
Why 2.0 you ask? Well I have a particular distaste for terrible crossovers between the satellites and the woofer unit, which results in a muddy and wheasing bass response.

If not mistaken, that Logitech Z623 retail price is more than RM500...

If around less than RM600 and primarily for music usage, then I would suggest Edifier Studio 7 (a.k.a Edifier R2700) though they are quite big speakers (not sure how much space is on your "tiny desk"). And if space is a problem then you may want to consider Edifier R1600T...

The R1600T seems nice. I've tried it at lowyat earlier this week and I was impressed by the quality for that price tag. Though I find the bass kind of muddy. Not sure if its because of the audio source problem or what (the shop was blasting Justin biebers again and again). When I turned down the bass a bit, the mids and highs sounds quite balanced. I might really consider this unit.
I also came across CREATIVE GIGAWORKS T40 on the net. Not sure if those are good or shud I just go with monitor units?

Theres one seller in lyn selling under 500 brand new. I think im gonna get this speaker but alot sifus say the speaker is nothing but bass. Is there any other alternatives beside this speaker with atleast above average boom bass sound?

As for that Edifier R1600T III, despite its small size it does have quite plentiful bass and can be overwhelming at times. Thus have to watch the bass dial. Being designed for music and as a studio monitor, means the it performs best when the equalization is flat (bass and treble almost at center). Here is a simple review: Tech-Critter: Quick Review: Edifier Studio R1600T III 2.0 Speaker System. It should perform rather similarly to its slightly higher end counterpart: Edifier R1800T III (which looks very similar and also has 4-inch woofers, though may not be available here in Malaysia). From this review: iXBT.com > Acoustic Roundup 2013: Edifier R1800TIII, Genius SP-HF2020 and Microlab Solo 1 (use Google Translate to read), the Edifier edges out all speakers tested...

Well, the decision is still yours. As always, try auditioning/testing the speakers first (to see if it suits your listening preferences) before deciding...

Unfortunately ye' good old Altec Lansing MX5021 and Altec Lansing FX6021 which has a good balance between booming and thumping bass are no longer available (EOL'ed). For a bit higher than RM500 (but below RM600), you may want to look at Edifier Studio 7 (a.k.a Edifier R2700). For lower than RM500, check this speaker review here: Hardware.Info United Kingdom: 9 computer speakers tested: with or without subwoofer? - Conclusion quotes... Already that Edifier Studio 6 Plus (a.k.a Edifier R2600) along with Logitech Z553 has been chosen above Logitech Z623. Well, that Edifier Studio 6 Plus speaker is under RM500. Another odd candidate would be Edifier M3300SF which has rather tight bass (thumper type). The best would be to audition/test the speakers first (to see which one suits your listening preferences) before deciding..

hello, should i get S530D / DA5000 pro / S730D . I want to use for listening to music and games. thank you in advance

how about comparing harman kardon soundsticks 3 / DA5000 pro / harman kardon Aura

Hahah. My room cant put 5.1 system XD... Only got a small table, behind me is about 1.2m to my bed. If all the 5.1 satellites all put at the front, it defeats the purpose is it?

Btw, I think I saw someone mentioning X-LS Encore pairing with Topping 60? So means I no longer required to purchase a soundcard, or I still need to? Possible to fix micro/mini Hi Fi system on pc or have anyone ever do that?

Im not sure the other time I tried the demo for R2800 or R2700 at Harvey Norman, the sound quality wasnt so nice for me. Perhaps not enough burn in time?

thnk you very muchhh gonna check those out!

old altec i miss them a lot

topping is power amplifier only. u need at least an onboard sound card to give sound.
micro hifi set can be connected to pc using aux input or other connections

big speaker like r27/28 require its own space to perform. i doubt if any shopping centre has proper audition area... there are more like "test-ok" area

That would be DA5000 Pro. Also S730D would be a good candidate as well. As always, try auditioning/testing those speakers to see which one suits your listening preferences...

Aye, the surround speakers should be at the back/rear (anywhere behind the table, can be as far as the wall) while the center speaker should be right at the center/middle of course...

Yes, you can connect your computer and/or music player to a micro/mini-Hifi system provided it has audio inputs (usually analogue and/or digital connection)...

Could be the environment (if there are other speakers blasting then affects the overall sound), the music source/device (usually portable players and mobile phones have weak outputs), music quality (such as low bitrate MP3 file), and/or bad audio cables. Also perhaps you prefer "bright" speakers (have high trebles)...

Perhaps, the R2700/2800 is slightly bassy to me. When I tried the same song on the Logitech Z623, its sounded much better to me. If I want to listen to what the song/music without adjusting any treble or bass, what should I be looking for?

Is there any accurate/proper reading materials for fundamentals of audio or something that you can share with me? I read a few articles, all seems too technical for me @@''. Dont quite get it .

use more on gaming(dota 2) and listen music (trance).
Budget around 5xx.

any suggestion for me. i got a long table for the space. thanksss

sound stick 3 is ok for nearfield usage.
da5000 i dunno. since it is recommended by lex, can be good.
aura is totally out becos u got 2 ears

z623 has crossover "hole" when u put the subwoofer in wrong location /phase, energy are wasted to another space. thats why u get the oohm beats without muddy bass.

u can walk around the listening area, sure got a spot suddenly all the bassy note kick back

r27/28 dont have separate sub unit, all sound get in ur face

Those Soundsticks can sound a little "thin", while the Aura is pretty much mono (no stereo separation). I would suggest auditioning/testing them and see which one you prefer...

Bassy? Perhaps the person in the showroom turned the bass dial up to almost full. Otherwise these speakers are very flat sounding (after all these are studio monitors thus considered HiFi quality). As for the Logitech Z623, (if not mistaken) the satellites are using phase plug for high frequency (treble) reproduction. That's a kind of "poor man's tweeter". Thus do not expect greats trebles from such speakers. In contrast, the Edifier R2700 and Edifier R2800 have real tweeters...

If you're a "bass head" then try looking at Logitech Z623 and perhaps Edifier Studio 7 (a.k.a Edifier R2700). As always, try auditioning/testing those speakers and see which one suits your listening preferences...

I see I see. Thanks for the explanation.

too many choices, so little time and all the demo units all so far away from me and I have no car and no sense of direction. hahahahaha

well, u have to start from buying something to learn more.
demo unit may not represent the same effect at home

hi recommend me a speaker for recording (mastering and mixing audio)
budget 1000

Aune X3 can be use for recording ?

Actually I have an Edifier Studio 7 on my desk. Still left 3 music genres to test, plus my CD/DVD player broke down recently (possible bad lens) and using computers mostly for playback. From my testing, these speakers love Kpop music (unbelieveable!). Could be the equalization used when mastering that made it shine. Each country seems to have different mastering for their music on audio CDs...

That's an old picture, the desk today looks more messy with more speakers around it (including Corsair SP2500, Aiwa SX-N990, etc)...

For mastering audio recordings, usually you have to look for studio monitors such as that Edifier Studio 7 (a.k.a Edifier R2700) shown earlier. Looking at your budget, you may want to consider Edifier Studio 8 (a.k.a Edifier R2800) which is a step up (and they are massive speakers as well)...

Those are kinda small, plus they are one way passive speakers (single driver per channel) only. Thus not sure how well they sound, but do not expect great trebles (especially) nor nice bass from them (since it uses a single full range driver only). You will need an audio power amplifier as well...
