haven been using my acs45.1 4 more 7 years..
the sound stil quite ok
butthe treble seems like become worst d..
but it is worth 4 it i think

Not that normal bap..it like small menthol break
Sometimes i listen songs, the "bap" sound appear

u use equalizer??

Any Suggestion For 2.1 System And 5.1 System?

Hey another ACS 45.1 Black user here. Got it in 2002 Disember in PWTC Pc fair. Still having it & love it so much. Maybe because its the first stuff i ever bought using my own my money in my life. Bass still rocks but the tweeter seems to lose performance compared to my Edifier R401.

Worth every pain n sweat in my first job to own this speaker.

I suppose you left your bass setting to high.. the 'brap' sound that you mentioned might came from the sub's cloth grille.. which vibrates and hits the driver when it's on extremely loud volumes.. try holding the cloth back when it happens and see if it's the cloth grille that causes that noise..

And again.. anyone experience the MX5021's controller 'forgetting' the actual bass and treble settings (not on the indicator level)..? I hate to pack up the speaker to send it for warranty especially when I can't actually reproduce the fault consistenly.. However.. the problem does occur especially when the power is cut from the speaker set.. from the plug that is, not via the 'power' button on the control pod nor the remote standby button..

That's normal for MX5021, you need to connect the power cable to the mains switch without switching off the mains switch so that the settings won't lari. If not, you'll need to set the bass and treble settings again. It applies to all electrical items, including my Yamaha amp. You can switch off your MX5021 but do not switch off the mains switch.

The brap sound from CS21 might be due to using EQ and the bass levels too high. I think they call it as a cracking sound. So just tone down your bass level settings and that should do the trick.

Hello, Using VS 4121 here... Altec Lansing ROX!

not cs21 la...cs21 dont have that prob as far as i know...
climacool use mx 5021 lor....

ACS45.1 doesn.t come with a tweeter, it only has a mid range.
how ever ACS295 does, it's an upgrade version of ACS45.1 with same woofer, same mid range but added tweeter.
R401 also has a physical tweeter, hence it can produce better high.

Check the cloth grille at the subwoofer.. try holding it back next time u hear the 'bap' sound.. mine only have that kind of sound if i turn the volume really loud (3+) while listening to trance songs with hard hitting bass..

The weird thing is the LED indicator is correct, just the sound coming out is wrong.. does your MX5021 behaves like that?

Aside from the colour difference, the white coloured version (a.k.a. MX5021WHT) doesn't have cloth grille covering the subwoofer while the black version have a cloth grille over the sub..

CS21 only have digital volume control.. bass settings is adjusted using an analog potentiometer..

hi,i'm newcomer here.using ATP 3 currently.my ACS45.1 got struck by lightning 2 years back.

ATP 3 sounds much better than 45.1

I,m using ATP3 to love it,
is there a difference between using sound card and not?

to me,when i changed from Creative Soundblaster Vibra to Creative SB Audigy2 ZS, very big difference.

You're right.
I've tried both this sound card already.
Vibra might sounds a bit lame, but it tighten the bass.
A2ZS? Pair it with you ATP3 and play NFS:C then you'll know what happen.

yea,i enjoy playing NFS Carbon.the bass boost thing down there helps alot...
mine is PCMCIA version for laptops.desktop still using Vibra.thts y easy do comparison

Mine also like that ...Why ar? this MX5021 cannot support so high Treble & Bass ? I've sent back to warranty at HQ ...the technician tested but no problem wor

OMG you are rich !!
Laptop version of A2ZS, that must be cost you a lot.
