In need of help here. I'm thinking of changing the speaker cables in my MX5021 but I'm unsure of which type of cable to buy. I saw some speaker cables selling for RM2.60/m at ACE Hardwares. I also heard of those much better quality cables like Canare, which also cost much more. The question is, is it worth it to opt for the those better quality cables or should I just get the Rm2.60/m cable from ACE Hardware? Thanks

weeeeeee......thats y i said now i like d speaker alot dy.....LOL....

dun marah2 me ya...sory2...

I think ur MX5021 ady so powerful by using the original cable.
If u really buy d better quality cable for ur Altec, i think it just has a little bit
changes of the sound quality.

So, this just is my personal opinion. If u use ur Altec in movie and music, or u r a audiophile, so u just go ahead.

it'll bring difference. Subtle or not its up to whether your ears are sensitive to the changes. When i changed my EMU's breakout to PcWork's, i instantly felt the upgrade. Tighter bass, a little more details from my atp3. If you're into perfection, i would suggest you go for the upgrade instead of those cheapo ACE cables.

Thanks for the advices I've changed it to thicker speaker cables which I bought it from a hardware shop. I'll wait till I've saved enough money to upgrade the cable linking the subwoofer and the soundcard. Then I'll see if I have the budget to upgrade to better speaker cables. I think that will bring more significant results, won't it?

Hope u can get what u want!!!

Try going to CMY Audio in Sungei Wang, those QED speaker cables are a good match for your MX5021. I'm using VDH while my brother is using Audioquest speaker cables for his MX5021. Yeah, we're using the same model, mine is black in colour, his white in colour.


No lah, don't say like that lah, where got marah-marah. Maybe your CS21 belum warm up yet, that's why you feel the bass not deep enough. That could be the reason. My MX5021 was the same, when I first bought it, the sound was harsh and restrained but it's a lot open now and the bass moves very tightly. Everything just nice.

what's up folk? anything news about Altec Lansing upcoming speaker stuff?

Err you mean this, Altec Lansing PT6021?
http://techgage.com/article/altec_lansing_pt6021

I guess that's the latest Altec Lansing speaker in the market right now. Not sure about upcoming new models and of course, I would love to see more new models.

Can i know how much for the MX5021 in the market?

i think its around RM550

This is KL price?
My location is Ipoh

yea its KL price

As for Penang price, the lowest I bought for my MX5021 is RM530. I heard that the price went up a little as the supplier is running low on stocks. Another disturbing rumour is that MX5021 is gonna phased out, not sure whether it's true or not, maybe you guys can shed some light.

Phased out?
Really mou? In ipoh, d lowest price is RM530 too..
When u bought this speaker?

y not try to go for FX6021??

i ady test and compare FX6021 and MX5021
testing without equalizer, sound direct come from a cd-rom

- treble 5021 is better than 6021
- bass 6021 is better than 5021
- but 5021 's bass is totaly powerful and heavy than 6021 somemore 5021 is THX certified

So i choose 5021, act right now i haven buy this speaker yet coz i still comfusing wanna buy which speaker between Altec MX5021 or other THX certified speaker...

And also hope u all guys can leave ur golden opinion or suggestion.
Anyone know d upcoming speaker of altec lansing?

i tot u got ur answer already eh??

priced was hiked up a little.. in Sarawak, it's retailing around rm600++..

about the phasing out of MX5021's.. there's a slight chance that is PROBABLY true..
check the US altec lansing site (http://www.alteclansing.com/product_details_MX5021_OOS.asp) and see the MX5021 page, you'll see it's out of stock at the moment.. probably it's just out of stock, or they'll discontinue it eventually and replace it with the FX4021 models?

and just for all Altec fan boiz.. The CS21 is most PROBABLY already being phased out.. so grab one while u still can..

i saw MX5020 at Sri Computer's price list selling for RM378

small brother of the 5021...without the big mama subwoofer summore
