I went to king audio the other day, the guys suggest me RM4k KEF speaker. . And seems like lack of choice. And the guy did the explain and the elder one which I guess the shop owner seems like not in explanation mood. Maybe need to speak mandarin?

Have you heard the speaker? What can you describe off? Not sure if it's the model you mention because when come to Sabah Sarawak, RM 3500 can be up to RM 4000 and above due to shipping.

If you have extra cash to burn, try Aune T1 for Rm460. It's tube DAC with amp. The amp can be used as pre-amp or in case you jump ship to headphone, you already have an amp. Or get Aune X1 for RM 560 more or less, similar function but not using tube like T1. And share the experience with us.

Or else DAC only, try from entry level such as T-Muso, UD100 and UD110, a newer version of UD100. I think UD110 will be release within this year. Based on my experience, there's no way onboard soundcard can beat T-Muso and UD100. I wish I don't have picky ear. Since my ear get "infected", I need to spend more for treatment.

Hi guys... Does Swan X4 have flat sound? But according to the design, should have more bass than MK3. Still deciding buy speaker or jump ship to head-fi... Sigh...

Sarawak... High price, limited choice.

Guys, can recommend me portable speaker? The cheaper the better. Prefer < RM 200 but I doubt portable speaker will be good. Thinking of connect to FiiO X3 or Note 2. Max budget is RM 300. I don't expect a good bass from portable speaker TBH.

Where and how much? Can boom boom or not? Haha... Well, need self power or battery power speaker because I traveling to rural area and no electricity. I charged my phone and laptop at nearest school.

Corsair SP 2500 to Soundstick 3 is a big leap or not? After some time with her, I find that SP 2500 bass is really strong but have less impact. I prefer balance of mid low and end low, a nice impact with some heart shaking is really nice.

Any thoughts for Edifier C3 compared with Edifier S530D? Thinking of grabbing DA5000 Pro, but I afraid will not perform really good in music department.

How good is DA5100? But too pricey. RM 900. BTW from your review, seems like S530D bass can't keep up with the beat. Does this happen with C3 too? Thinking of getting S530D but the bass lag been pulling me back.

From SP 2500, jump to Edifier C3 a smart move or not? SP2500 consume too much space, and the bass not my liking, too boomy. Is there any way to mess with EQ so I can add more impact to the bass. Well, it's good for game and movie but music, I prefer accurate C3 bass. Gosh, my eardrum upgrading after spending time with head-fi. Fussy, even with bass.

Nothing much to discuss at Sarawak. Haha... Shipping etc, so yeah I understand for the expensive price. BTW, RM 899 is from google search, retail price.

SP2500 bass are rumbling, not punching... Mids and high are okay. Nothing to expect from a gaming speaker. They're loud, but can be fatiguing. How about those JBL speaker. You think they got enough bass? R2600 too large for my desk even though I like 2.0 idea.

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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?

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...

C3 bass better IMO. Or else if you can't hear different of a good kind of bass or that boom sound better than doom, Z623.

C3 anytime.

Yes, more or less dimensions. I miss look the size spec. Below is my old rig, same old desk until now:


Now I have bigger monitor, Dell U2312HM. Less space for my SP500 satellite.

SP2500 satellite:
108 x 120 x 159mm


Edifier R1600Tiii
154 x 254 x 214mm
RM ???

DV 1080 IV:
177×252×242mm
RM 529

Edifier R1900 Tiii
172 × 296 × 215mm
RM 365

Edifier R2700
218 x 393 x 298mm
RM 567

Edifier R2800
258 x 463 x 320mm
RM 747

Size comparison with my Corsair satellite, got 6.9cm smaller than DV 1080 V or R1900 Tiii. And 11cm smaller than R2600. Only if those 150cm or 170cm speaker can perform as good as Edifer R2800.

For now, more towards R1900 Tiii. Cheaper than Swan but better sounding, as claim by listener. Or perhaps get R2700, 4cm smaller than R2800. Complicated and too many to process. Or wait for R1600T iii, which I hope better than R1900T iii.

How much is the estimated local price and from which seller I can get from? I know this is a new speaker, so it's a bit hard to get info.

So which 5" 2.0 speakers is recommended? Oh too bad man, can't go below 100hz. BTW, I only can get this video regarding R1600Tiii.
