Buy better quality of audio cable and replace the stock cable, you may get better SQ thumbup.gif

Inside got 1 piece of 560mH inductor, that one is the crucial part.

I opened before and changed the wire inside.

Bro, what is X-over ? Is it crossover ?

After you change the wired got any improvement ?

Just got my MX-5021, still doing some burn-in.. Just love the bass when watching movie.. quite tight and accurate.. need to change the satellite cables to better ones as the stock ones really does sound 'hollow'.. hopefully there's improvements after changing it..

cn itro some 2.1 speaker which is gud in playing music??
price below  rm 400...

I guess those AL speaker below RM400 its SQ isn't that good, or you need to top up RM200-250 for MX5021/FX6021. Otherwise, you can consider other brand like Edifier.

Can share which cable you changed to? I just bought the MX5021 at a recent PC Fair for my 2.1 home theater setup with a HTPC. Have not had a chance to set it up yet, and I hear the ori cable makes the satellites too trebbly...
*
If use ori cable, the sound produced made my ear a little bit uncomfortable. I have changed my cable too, cablang brand. RM2.xx/meter.

Will it make any diff by changing the stock cable for the sub to soundcard one? I also change the satellite speaker cables only coz I dunno whether there'll be improvement of not changing that cable.

I guess it will have different, may be I will buy cheap cheap cable to try it.

Only support for Altec Lansing speakers.

Altec Lansing speakers nice in crisp and clean sound even though the subwoofer not as powerful as the others brand 12" inch subwoofer.

The main purpose for choosing Altec Lansing because we don't want the sound deliver from speakers were covered by the annoying subwoofer bass sound.

AL is a nice choice for users who did listen for pop, pop rock, ballad music.

I'm AL user, but I'm not agree with this. shakehead.gif

QUOTE(chingwooi @ May 1 2009, 02:08 PM)
Altec Lansing really used to be very good, their older batch of speakers if you're still able to find them. The VS4121 and MX5021 used to be legend. I'm also used to be a die hard fan of Altec Lansing last time until I bought the cut-cost VS4121 which is really disappointing I would say. No offense it's true, the performance of newer batch of AL is really sux compared to the old one.


Added on May 1, 2009, 2:09 pm

Pls post the results of ur finding here, really like to know the diff  notworthy.gif I'll upgrade my cable if it really makes a diff.

Sure, I try do it asap. If anyone have already done this, please share your opinion thumbup.gif

Jimmy's is the old one, the guide on Techenclave refers to the new one. The ones I did on mine are similar to the Techenclave guide with the exception of a few tweaks I thought sounded better.

I found another post, but it was in Cari forum and modded by Skydriver. And now I'm following exactly what he change in the satellite.

as you can see the picture above

the score of sound quality is MX5021 is 6.5

compare to 6021 ,  which is 9

I think I had waste my money to by 5021 , just only add rm50 more to get 6021.
*
Your ear should be best judgement for both of this speaker, go audition before you buy. I have tested both MX5021 and FX6021 side by side before I bought MX5021, but finally I choose MX5021.

yeah I change my soundcard to Creative Sound Blaster X-fi Xtreme audio, RM250, has improve listening mp3, about 50% compare to my audigy value, only 2 bar of my speaker i can hear loud and clear.. now it is suites to my MX5021
If you have mid-range speaker.. go for mid-range to high end sound card.

I really like my friend's speaker , he has the old altec thx speaker 4.1 ,

Buy better speaker cable, don't use the tiny stock cable. SQ will improve a little.

wanna ask. any fx 5021 user here who face sound quality degradation after using the speaker or a while?

SQ degraded ? How is it, please explain more. I guess it should be better after you burned in.
