Hey all, I'm upgrading from my old Edifier M3300.
My top priority is music then movie , sometime play FPS games only, so I am looking for all around performance speaker. I am not a basshead and my room is quite small,so a powerful bass speaker is nono for me. But i need quality and punchy bass but not quantity bass.

based on the recommendation in front


1.Budget ~RM1400
Audioengine 5 (A5) (music) -popular
Reason: I know this is a very popular speaker for music . The only concern is, is the bass good enough for movies ? I think it is fine if the bass is better than my m3300. but now about Audioengine A5 vs S530D bass ? if they are almost the same, i will definitely choose audioengine a5.

2.Budget ~RM700
Edifier S530D (music, gaming) -popular
Reason: I have good impression on Edifier speaker based my previous m3300. It has good mid and high but not too boomy. I cross out S730 simply because the subwoofer are WAYYY TOO BIG.

the above choices is top 2 so far i like.
So, any suggestion ?

thanks for the reply , i will definitely look into Hivi M50w and Hivi M200KIII. When i dumped my m3300, i really want to get a decent speaker under Rm1.5k, cuz looking no more upgrade in 4 5 years. Music come first , then movie , but i play music 80%, 20% for movies. Bass doesnt need to be very powerful but be adequate for movie, m3300 bass is weak but just enough for me. So, need a allrounder speaker. But do u know where is the local distributor for Hivi M200KIII , somewhere in KL? If it need to be import from China, then it will be out of my consideration.

Does anyone here listen to audioengine 5 vs swam m200mkiii and compare them before ? I googled a lot and there is not much comparison about them, some say A5 better, some say mk3 , but they didnt go in detail how A5 and mk3 sound personally and what genres, purpose both good for.

Hi All , need some recommendation to get a multimedia speaker , as in connecting with pc audio card

Requirement :
1.Standard 2.1 for all purpose usage
Usage : Music 80%, movie/anime : 20% , no gaming
2. Lean towards balanced sounds, not too sharp, not too bassy
3. To be placed on desktop , nearfield

Budget :Rm500 and below

Edifier M3300 serves me good , it has balanced sounds,so I wish to find similar or better sound signature , for the music genres I listen , is usually vocal, so I prefer better mids with not too punchy bass, as long as it is sufficient but not too lack of it , for watching movie purpose.

Hi all , I have been thinking to get the Studio 7, however it only can be connected via RCA ? I am planning to use with pc, my pc dont have RCA output , which soundcard i should get ? My budget is below Rm600 , any idea ? More focus in music than gaming/movie

Thanks for the reply , now I can put that audio card on hold and get the speaker first.
