Hi all,

My current Altec Lansing MX5021 has sort of malfunctioned and am currently looking for a set of speakers (2.1/2.0) with a budget of approximately RM1,000.

The speakers will primarily be used for music(pop songs from Adele, etc) , as well as some gaming and movies sessions.

I currently own a set of Goldring DR150 + Vero cables and is satisfied with the clarity and details of the sound produced, although I would like to have a bit more bass. Therefore, I hope to find a speaker system with comparable level of clarity and details, with a balanced amount of bass for music and movie sessions.

For comparison sake, I have recently auditioned the Hivi/Swan M50W and I found that the bass is sufficient, but I feel that the sound produced lacks clarity.

I would really be glad if you guys could give me a few recommendations based on the above requirements. If possible, can you also provide me with the place where I can audition the speakers?

Thank you.

Dear Edifier/Cyntrix/E1-AKG,

Thanks for your recommendations! Will try to look for them for audition.

On a side note, assuming that I plan to purchase a RM2k 2.0 sound system (to be connected to my PC), if I were to compare between active speakers (like Aktimate Micro) and passive speakers (Bookshelves with amp), will there be any significant difference in sound performance between the two systems? I understand that passive speakers will have higher flexibility when it comes to upgrading the components (i.e. amp and speakers can be upgraded separately).

Thanks again!!

Hi bro, appreciate your prompt reply but I really need to audition the speakers. Can you kindly provide exact dates on the availability of the demo sets for the above mentioned models. Thanks.
