techno should go for logitech. like z2300

changing cable to higher impedance and lower capacitance can increases the bass respond. take the cable as a series resistor which connects between your speaker and woofer.
the cable will alter the balance of treble / bass.
if your cable is naturally lack in high frequencies,. then you will get impression of stronger bass. while using better cable, might as well pull outs the mid and high. so you don't need such high volume to get the actual volume, hence u will feel the bass is decreased.

but on some specific cable. bass can be reduce / enhanced.
for example. silver cable usually has less bass as compared to copper cable which has better bass extension.

nuff' said from the Audio Phreak dude... ...anyways....u guys gotta check out my thread here http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/734265 ...pls gif me sum feedbacks...thx a mil

haha, i fully agree with you if the speaker is 2.0 or big midrange 2.1 satellite...but my answer was particularly for domo_Kun cases....only changed satellite cable for MX5021 won't affect subwoofer bass response until what he claimed ...

and MX5021 satellite won't make the feel of 'vibration' even the highest quality cable was installed...i'm using this, thats why i know... i guess domo_kun just alter his woofer placement after he changed the cable...

Hi all, I'm AL MX5021 user for more than 1 year now. Recently I noticed when listening songs or watch movie, the sound from both satellite seems to have some "pecah" sound. Can anyone advice what's the problem?

your problem probably due to too high volume in your sound card setting. the cracking sound maybe from your sound card (distortion) or speaker input opamp distortion.

when i pair my X-Fi XtremeMusic to MX5021, with wave and player volume set to 100%, i can't tune the master volume exceed 80%, anything beyond this will introduce 'pecah' (distortion) in the satellite, because the input opamp of MX5021(old school 4558) can't cope with the high signal from sound card.

as long as the settings is balanced, then okay liao

Thanks coolkwc and domo_kun. I tried to change wave and play control volume from 100% down and will try to monitor see if the distortion still happens.
