Hi all,
I've narrowed my options to these 3 speakers :

- M-Audio AV40
- Bose MusicMonitor 1100
- Audioengine A5

Price wise,similar..but dunno which suits me.. hmm.gif
40% music,40% gaming and the rest is for movies.. smile.gif

Thanks!!

Edit :i'll be using Asus Essence STX as a sound card.

If you are looking for something that's small yet powerful in sound with balanced bass and highs and good sound stage, Audioengine A2 will never go wrong:)

It depends on the music genre you listen to. Focal Book XS has a very neutral sound and has very rich mids. Pretty good for desktop speakers.

But the limitation would be the lows.

Hi, I am looking for 2.0 speakers or 2.1 or even soundbar type. Currently I am targeting Hivi Swan M200MKIII and my budget is around that as well.

I am planning to connect the speakers to my DVD / Bluray / TV use in living room (apartment type). Use it mainly on music (concert music) and minor movies.

Here's my question:
1. Any alternative speakers beside Hivi M200MKIII?
2. Can Hivi M200MKIII connect to DVD or TV? What port they are using?
3. Do I still need to buy any DAC or AMP? (I am beginner only)

I believe the 4k plus KEF would be the reknown LS50:)

I just moved into a new place, the room is kind of small and the sound isolation is not the best (sharing the house with other people), so I am trying to get a pair of computer bookshelf speaker (2.0 system), previously was using Soundsticks II and wanna try 2.0 system. I am looking to spend around rm500-700 for this, what are the options that I have? I have read great things about Audio Engine A2 but would like to know what you guys think and your recommendations, thanks!!

other than the ones that I have mentioned. Any other recommendation? My room is about 2.6m x 2.5m x 3.3m. Its not very big, so I think 2.0 or a 2.1 system should suffice. Budget is up to RM1500. Will I need any soundcard or additional accessories?

Hi everyone, need opinion on buying NAD d3020 pair with PSB alpha LR1 or Audioengine A5+ pair with D1. Thanks.
*
They are both very different sounding sets smile.gif D3020+ LR1 is a very detailed sounding set, ideal for vocal and instruments. Adding a sub such as the PSB Subseries 100 would add in more oomph. A5+ performs well in general music, adding a DAC will add in more details. (Both sets are avail for demo)
