The different between VS4121 and FX5051 is

VS4121 less treble than FX5051.
FX5051 speaker small but loud and louder than VS4121.
The subwoofer have differences, FX5051 one is deeper than VS4121.
FX5051 still can heard the deep bass vibration when I go out from my room, but I cannot hear the deep bass vibration for VS4121 when I go outside the room unless sit beside the subwoofer.
Both also provide clean sound but VS4121 need do some adjustment from the equalizer and install SRS Audio Sandbox or DFX to improve the sharp of treble. But FX5051 no need do adjustment in the computer because the sound from speaker really clean and sharp enough.
VS4121 is 2.1 cannot fight and FX5051 is 5.1 this is truth.
FX5051 just plug USB can listen songs already, but VS4121 dun have USB.
One thing is good for VS4121, it is running analog tuning more easy to tuning volume, bass and treble but FX5051 is running in electric, everything of volume, bass and treble is connected to computer. I just scare sometimes the computer suddenly turn everything to maximum volume.
And also, FX5051 got hissing sound from the speakers but VS4121 dun have. The subwoofer for FX5051 got low humming sound when turn on the AC power, but VS4121 dun have the low humming sound.

nice 5.1 speaker u got there...how much it cost u??

Humming noise is unforgivable...VS4121 got both humming sound and hiss sound, its truth...Maybe i will give a big CROSS in the pic later...

Well.. vs4121 doesn't have humming sound la..
Indeed, it has a not-so-audible hissing sound when the volume is switched to MAX..

I had an audition on mx5021 previously.
The sound is not so "natural" (or maybe the audition place has some floorstands+bookshelves to compare with )

Actually, vs4121 is good enough at that affordable price la.. but not to compare with higher-end 1 of course..
(At least it isn't a torture to ears but quite enjoyable~ )

My Speaker system is working fine here ... But I was wondering does the AMS software still available for download to be used on newer Windows version ?

what is AMS software?

VS4121, dont have hissing sound and low humming electric sound on the subwoofer.

My friend told me, usually the more powerful and larger speakers have louder hissing sound. Just go to some live or concert and look after the speakers, the speakers have louder of "shhhhhhhhhh" hissing sounds.

The subwoofer have a bit low humming because it is electric ground loop affect. But usually you will not realize it if you no concern about it.

Audio Management Software .. its a GUI application to control your speaker system.

Try to hear from subwoofer directly...

i agree tat 4121 got very annoying humming sound once u turn on the AC power ,i remember tat when the speaker is newly bought,it dun have the humming sound,maybe is 'old' oredi due to daily use??? ,but once u turn ur music on, usually you will not realize it if you no concern about it.

Nope, humming sound exist since u bought, only u didn't noticed...it was due to poor rectifier circuit designed, the DC still got ripple after converted from AC...

Hmm .. I'll have to check out my storage and see ..

Honestly, using MX5021 to listen songs is not that good. In term of gaming and movie, it is very
