Go for ATP3, at around RM165~RM170.
The other baki i think you can get a Philips PC805.
With this combo you can get a very nice sound quality on music playback.

p/s: ATP3 banzai~~

you guys here never stop promoting atp3 it has been such a looooooooong time since atp3 was announced and released!

Are you referring to the XT1 and XT2 USB powered AL lappy speakers? You can refer to the link below with the suggested retail price in Malaysia from all AL speakers from Ban Leong but normally, you can nego for 10% to 15% discount from outside. Hope this helps.

Who care if it is an old speaker.
Good speaker is a speaker, don't care if it is a old or new production.

You got that right Bro. ATP3 is a legend and classic, will never be forgotten.

But at last i also invest in MX5021, and gave my ATP3 to my gf.
My gf also love ATP3 very much, i mean love me more la, ATP3 lesser a bit.
When i ask why, she said don't know.

if she love the atp3 more than you, time to "upgrade" your girlfriend. My girl on the other hand loves my SR80 more than my atp3. I say i'll give her my atp3 but she insist on my Grado!

You tell her that you're not giving up on your Grado or the door is always open. Hahaha.

Don't you guys think recent ATP3's feels a bit 'cheap'? both sound and material wise..

Come on lah Bro, for less than RM170, what do you expect? MX5021 quality? ATP3 ain't that bad, it's still better than most competing brands and has won many awards before.

I mean recent batches ler..

afaik there are 2 batches of atp3, the former with higher power output. But nowadays all atp3s in the market are lower power ones. My atp3 is 3 years old, still working fine. Cheap plastic? Nope they seems durable to me. Cheap SQ? Yea, my SR80 and LD2+ beats the crap out of it. But RM170 VS RM800, atp3 still wins with its price/performance ratio.

User of Mx5021+Av710 here. Just bought the speakers and tried them with dvd player and ps2,hope can try the pair soon. Sound on ps2 and dvd player is already great.

Glad that you're happy with the speakers, I'm also using MX5021 too.

1 thing to clearify.
Which part of the plastic you mean?
The sub-woofer using WOOD leh, if you're refering to the sub la.

Just wondering bro, which sound card you pair your MX5021 with?

No special sound card actually, I'm using my mobo's built in sound card. Kinda surprised, huh? But I'm being very honest but it sounded good enough for me so I don't see why I needed a better sound card. Well, I've changed my original AL MX5021 wiring to Van den Hul CS122 Hybrid speaker cables, 1m around RM65. I've changed the wiring inside the subwoofer as well. The bass is now tighter and the midrange and highs sounded less restraint, more open and less dry. I know the speaker cables cost a bomb but I'm happy with my DIY project, I'm using this cables for my HT set so I'm quite pleased with the sound quality.

Okay, troubles occured, i mean me.
What's a Van den Hul CS122 Hybrid speaker cable?
In simple is it a Stereo to Stereo cable?
If yes, i also changed it already.
I use PcWork DIY cable, the name show be Carane, or something like that.
And how you changed the wiring inside the subwoofer?
Very interested to know.

You can google it my friend, it's a high quality 5 star cable, it's an audiophile cable actually. Pricey but gives good sound. Many people heard of VDH to be honest.

walao..i think i wanna try to make 1 also...

im still using the old-school ACS45.1
