What speakers do you recommend to go with laptop that I can carry with me in my laptop bag?
Thanks in advance.
*
edifier mp220, mp210, mp300.

edifier mp300 would be the best choice for portability.

user of mx5021 and seeking upgrade due to new desktop require another speaker, found alot reviews about corsair sp2500 and interested with it, but is there any substitute or even better value set in the market?? best budget would b limit within around that, depends on the value of money, wouldnt mind for extra budget if the increment of margin experience is much greater than the price. tqvm.

wait for m50w by hivi swan. They should be arrived at the end of this month, until then, you can audit aego m, harmon kardon sound stick 3, sp2500 and s530d.

what is ur usage? gaming, music or movies?

Hi guys any recommendation for speaker that did not produce buzz sound.previously my altec lancing vs4121 got this problem.now its become more loud and very anoying.budget Rm500 but i want the speaker that will not buzzing after few month.any suggestion how do i want to prevent this problem future?
*
based on your story, the speaker that u bought will produce buzzing sound after a few month, maybe the culprit is not ur speaker, maybe the electricity at ur house is not stable. Try to use other wall plugs at ur house and avoid using an extension. See how it goes.

have you already listened to that speaker?

I got audioengine A5 and I would like to buy a subwoofer for movie. Budget is around Rm1400, those I can afford is audioengine S8 , Swan H6 . How you guys think ? and recommend alternative sub that you think superior than S8 and H6 ?
*
for that kind of price, not many alternatives are available, maybe you can search for the 2nd hand or used units.

Thank you for your suggestions power911 and CyntrixTech! I checked out the Edifier studio series - the wood finish is very pretty! Will need to go have a listen.

The M10 is VERY tempting but indeed I am looking for a pair of 2.0s as I prefer a small footprint (desktop space is premium and my room is small =(

Hi Cyntrix,

You are stressing that these hivis are great for desktop.
I was wondering whether would they work as well for laptop?
*
what he means that, the speakers sounds good on the table or near field setup. Desktop or laptop, doesn't matter.

My MX5021 sub woofer is dead... It can power up the controller and satellite, but only bass is heard, the supposed "music" is like at 5% level. I borrowed my friend MX5021 woofer and plug in and it works fine.

Can any sifu recommend me something that can match MX5021 performance? sad.gif

Send it to the electrical repair shop la.

Believe me, there will be little or no difference, even you change the sound card, as long as you use good quality (or original quality) track, there won't be any noticeable difference, trust me, if not you gona trap forever in wasting money  sweat.gif
*
in this hobby, even the slightest or subtle change on the sound quality is crucial. It depends on how much you gonna spend the money to achieve the audirvana tongue.gif

lets say you buy stock Golf GTI at 200hp and want to mod to stage 1 upgrade to achieve extra 5hp more. That extra 5hp is gonna cost you almost 8k. crazy innit? haha. that's just how it works. Wasting money or not is not your concern icon_rolleyes.gif

Hi guys, I'm planning to buy a speaker this week.

My budget is RM400, not more than RM500. Usage mainly is for music and movie.

I've done a research and found Logitech Speaker System Z623 for RM450+. I'm just wondering if there is a more powerful speaker than Logitech Speaker System Z623 for this budget?
