I must sound sweet than before.

Hi, SkyDriver...could provide some tips on the cable modin to improve the sound....

could it apply to any 2.1 pc speaker system???

The MX5021 stock cable sucks, but till now i haven replace it by other cable   because dunno which brand to choose... SkyDriver can provide some information ?

sweet cables!! sky driver may i ask if the improvement comes from the stereo cables or speaker cables? i have not changed my stereo cables from sub 2 pc

Any brand ?

the speaker cable is the cable connect to pc while the stereo cable is the one connect between woofer n the 2 speakers??? or versa vice???

Any Lowyat member did this before ? Where can do this or DIY ?

Which speaker you mod ? MX5021 ? Any diff after mod ?

Wow! So hope to see the picture after you mod ASAP      I can't wait anymore

just saw the skydriver MX5021 modding...I saw the removed dust shield of ur satellite, the shield was glued original,right? and wanna ask u whether got listened to the "original" MX5021 or not? How the sound compared to the so called "cut cost" version of MX5021? because sometimes said it is cut cost product just judging in term of the numbers of electronic component used inside is not fair(The earlier version is 3-way crossover, latter version 2-way)....because i saw the earlier version of MX5021 satellite midrange drivers are flat at center, the redesign of crossover maybe due to changes of that drivers...

Are you sure the new version of MX5021 has no THX certified ?
What can i do to meet the THX certified ?

no THX certified? U means the THX logo is "cheating" is it?  

RM400+? where u get that price?i saw the price list from pczone of lawyat, FX4021 cost RM595, 10 more than 5021....

MX5021 very good in low bass extension, and the mid range full and rich, but the high frequency a bit less...but it isn't problem for me, I won't trust any default sound on ANY SPEAKER, i only use WINAMP to listen song, i just tune the equalizer to compensate the lack of high frequencies, 12-16khz i raise 4dB, 3-6khz pull down 2dB, this adjustment is enough to reproduced the "crisp" treble...MX5021 is tunable, really....

"adjust the EQ means you spoilt the song composer's setting", this is common phrase i heard so much time...but please keep in mind that unless u are using the EXACTLY same speaker as the composer, if not equalizer tuning is unavoidable...of course must know how to tune, if not really will spoilt it (if u tried or saw the audio system used in performance purpose, NO ANY of them are flat in EQ, impossible)

Btw anyone using MX5021 and change the satelite cable? Coz i can hear cracking sound, juz bought around 2 month, should not so fast spoil gua.

My is not hissing sound. It sound like "pak"  almost like Fm radio or TV when the are tunning. I deno how to explain. Juz sound like "pak" during movie or song. Pak 1 time only. Wont continous pak 1. But in 1 song should got 2 or 3 times . I deno how to explain. Juz hope changing thesatelite wire will help.

skydriver: hm.... the bass feels like its seperated from the tweeter? ... maybe its d crossover .... cause it feels like dat on some songs 2 me ... i miss my creative FPS2000 hahahah

on muddy bass ... yeah ... i feel it 2... but d bass sounds like d speakers from d huge system i mentioned earlier ... so maybe its jus designed like dat ....

Blurry bass? Need Puncy upfront bass? Then i think other than klipsch GMX,  the bass from AL VS4121 should suit ur both taste...just guess only...

I think they means the MX5021's bass not tight enough ?! But VS4121 totally out of this, its bass seems like the woofer box got one big hole 

Yap, in the same hostel, vs4121 bass sound really can spread further distance compare with MX5021, but i don't feel that bass sound is better than MX5021..

personally i don't agree with lowering the treble furthermore because i feel that the treble "not so clear" or "not crisp enough" in default unless u are watching movie, but i do agree that the bass "thud(blur/aftereffect)thud(blur/aftereffect)thud" make the bass effect more depth and undirectional, with proper placement of the subwoofer and some EQ tweaking(i still stand on my point that EQ tweaking is unavoidable ), u can't determine the bass direction precisely and the bass is just coming from all the direction, it is not "upfront", so it is not "puncy" for some people...

but for me the "muddy/blur/continuous" bass between two hit is somewhat a "connector" on it, the bass is continuous...so this is just the taste matter of different user, this is not because AL wrongly design this kind of "suck/muddy,blur" bass, i define it as "soft bass", many hardware review said it is revolution redesign of the woofer unit and totally different from previous model which well known as "bass boomer", so don't said MX5021 bass is suck just because compare to the puncy bass u like, is unfair, they are just two kind of totally different design...need puncy/upfront bass? just go for klipsch GMX or logitech Z-XX00 series or maybe...tight/solid/puncy car audio...

i don't think same class as AegoM....Maybe AL FX6021 same class with it...

MX5021 same class as Klipsch GMX2.1 and Logitech Z-2300, these 3 all were THX certified, and the price also neck to neck
