Not bad, the woofer is quite powerful and overall was clear as I heard from the demo set.

i believe it should be ok right? i used sp2500 before, how's the different u think? maybe i can recall back the feeling when i listening to sp2500 tongue.gif

Sadly I never audit SP2500 before sad.gif

But T3 does give me an impression is like you can make overwhelming bass with crystal clear satellite speakers. It has weakness on lower mid to mid bass region.

what is that mean? i'm not so good in those audiophile things, need pro advices tongue.gif i listen to k-pop, english songs like rock/dance/pop ie

Hard to explain in words sad.gif

Lack of low mid to mid bass region sounds like lack of strength, or thin. In vocal, male voice is much easier to find out, or you can test out Adele album. Too much of it then will sound like radio, if you can imagine what I mean.

Better you try audit the demo set and compare around you might be understand what I mean.

sp2500 quite big but ok coz last time my desk can fit
hk ss3 i already kick it out from my list due to the remote
s530d is HUGE and i heard its more to loud than quality, is that true?
*
SP2500 is already quite big? blink.gif

Maybe you can look for Edifier S330, or just go ahead Creative Gigaworks T3.

S530D quality is good and it can go quite loud, more info you can refer to mr. power911 biggrin.gif

Resistors comes later, but the ceramics may be replaced first (with metalised film capacitors) since majority of them are in the signal path. Already can hear some improvements to the sound with the current modifications. Majority are Nichicons and few Panasonic. All those crap electrolytic capacitors (Unite, Yun Li, Acon) were totally removed. I gather those are Panasonic capacitors. Which model/series?  wink.gif
*
The ceramics I had replaced a few in signal path, left most remain there coz I found it hard to find the values. The electrolytic cap I only used Nichicon in woofer power amp part and the rest are Panasonic AK and AM series which has very good specs for audio use.

I do like the mod, it is like bringing the speaker sound to another level.

I assume edifier m1360 is better than fiio n3 since its 2.1? But sacrifice the portability.
Btw where to get fiio n3. Couldn't find seller.

Hi, after a bit of research here and there, im decided to pick M3300 due to its sound clarity. however, do i need to pair it with sound card/adc or just rely on realtek's ALC892 ? if yes, kindly recommend suitable match for M3300  smile.gif
*
M3300 is quite suitable for Realtek sound card unless you want to look for more detail or clearer sound, you can check out the sound cards like:

- Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro USB
- Sound Blaster Digital Premium HD
- Asus Xonar DX
- Asus Xonar DS

Hi, Im looking for a good 2.1 speaker system. Currently I'm using Sonic Gear spectra 200x. after 4 years of usage it started to have buzzing sound once in a while and when it did the sound will be slower. Need to turn off the speaker and turn it on again to make it return to normal.

Budget is about less than RM130

I'll be using it mainly for movies & gaming. I'll listen to music once in a while & the room size is roughly about 4.5X3 meters.

thanks in advance.

You can check out Edifier M3400 or Edifier M1380.

if you want bass that will shake your room the something with a sub a 2.1 set up. a 2.0 will give you musical bass. since you listen to dubstep and those i think is safe to assume you like those bass than will shake your room's door right? than get something with a sub

*
Second that, its about personal preference.

the bass haven't fully matured yet
but i start to feel the warmer sound than before.

That's good, now is your choice to mod anything that you feel that would improve performance. You can start from either op-amps or capacitors or resistors or rectifier diodes or speaker cable those.

Remember that modding will void your speaker warranty, do it at your own risk.
