the pic is in my directory (you can check it from the file path) sweat.gif
anyway, i found it from a reviews website which claims the new version isnt THX certified.
i have no idea since never comparing new and original version side by side...

personally, the bass is blurry and the treble is crispy (note : satelite caps is diff for both version)

May be the new version of MX5021 can't meet the THX certified requirement since Altec change the component of MX5021 ? doh.gif

So far i didn't found any review claim that the 'new' MX5021 isn't THX certified, i typed 'old MX5021','new version MX5021','cut cost MX5021','old MX5021 vs new MX5021','MX5021 no THX certified' in the google search, u know what's the outcome? Our Lowyat thread almost appear first in the search results, so i can't find any evidence to claim the new MX5021 isn't THX certified...

no need to freak, as long as u feel satisfied with it... refer the pic above, if your satellite same as the one which has 'one little circular'(call dust cap) on the center of driver, then yours MX is old version, otherwise, 'cut cost' as ours... sweat.gif

All Altec Lansing have 2 different weights.

He already mention that old subwoofer heavy than new version subwoofer. Actually it is not old or new version, just the wood which used to made the subwoofer.

This is the catalogue for MX5021
http://www.soundsrus.co.nz/pdf/alteclansing-mx5021.pdf

You can go to second page check the weight of master carton and display carton.

2 different weights for MX5021
user posted image

45.2pounds = 20.5KG
22.3pounds = 10.11KG

Two different weights because one is made by master wood another more light is made by display wood.

What is your opinion about the sound quality between these two different weights sub?

update
P/S: i feel master wood better leh~~ because the comparison of dimensions. Bass area larger.

Today I get my FX5051, I have problem on the speaker. When I listening to songs, I found there have two speakers no function. One is center speakers and another one is rear right speakers. I am using laptop and there have two ways to connect the speaker, one way is just using USB, another way is just using audio jack. Both method still the same problem, the two speakers no sound but the rest is working.

I was tried to plug the unworking speaker to another front left or front right jack, it is working and have sound. But when i plug back to the correct jack position, it is no working.

Oh, I forgot to report in here, actually I have VS4121 which used for 1 year and now I have another FX5051.
