I liked how it blends in aesthetically with my MacBook, and it's very low profile structure which fits in anywhere and doesn't need a big subwoofer to pump out bass.

I've been using my Bose Companion 2 Series II since August 2011 and it still runs great to this day. I actually bought it refurbished from the Bose factory outlet store - it was less than RM200 (after conversion from USD) and it still had a 1-year warranty to back it up.

QUOTE(lex @ Oct 17 2014, 07:01 AM) Yes, quite familiar with this speaker and for its tiny size it does have some bass. But IMHO the bass isn't that great actually (not enough low frequency coverage). I suggest checking out Edifier Luna Eclipse E25 and/or Edifier Exclaim E10. You'll be surprised how well these speakers reproduce bass frequencies considering their size. They also have better highs due to having tweeters... I don't really listen to bass-heavy songs like others from my age group, mostly classical, jazz, or anything before the year 2000. I think it serves my purpose really well. I just checked out the Edifiers you mentioned, may consider it in the future   . However, let's say I want to bump my game up in the future and buy speakers in the $300 USD price range, what would you recommend? Given my musical preferences, that is. I'm somewhat partial to the Bose lineup, but I'm always ready to welcome other brands into my family.  |

QUOTE(lex @ Oct 17 2014, 11:39 AM) Those Edifiers uses passive radiator design (for bass) instead of the tuned port design found on the Bose Companion 2 Series II. Since you've mentioned mentioned the word "aesthetically", those Edifier models came into thought... Oops, just realized that you replied me here. Thanks for taking the time with your recommendations. Really appreciate it. If only here in the USA we have brick-and-mortar stores where you can test a wide range of speakers, very few 'Lowyat' style stores to speak of. I've actually had the Klipsch Promedia 2.1 before, but I sold it to a friend. I'm somewhat tempted to try the Edifiers now.  Too big of a budget range there but if you have the desk space then I would recommend either Edifier Studio 7 (a.k.a Edifier R2700, highly recommended), Edifier Studio 8 (a.k.a Edifier R2800), Klipsch Promedia 2.1 (2.1 speaker system), HiVi Swans M10 (also 2.1 speaker system) or HiVi Swans M50W (also another 2.1 speaker system). As always, do audition/test them before buying...  |
