QUOTE(Aquanox28 @ Feb 6 2007, 12:10 PM) Seriously? Which shop was that? You just asked for the price, or you bargained for it? I'm not good at bargaining. I went there and asked, but all of them told me its around RM560-570....  I'm using PSC805, a sub RM200 soundcard. It's much better than your integrated one if you are using a mid-high end speakers.  EDIT: I just came back from Digital Mall. I'm once again disappointed. I asked a few shops(those shops which are displaying the MX5021), one of the shops told me it is RM570, while ALLIT was selling at RM563. Very disappointing. I'm beginning to give up finding the best bargains for the MX5021. I'll now either go for the AegoM or the S2.1MKII.. oh..i saw it on the price tag..i c..its a shop on the third floor or second..i guess it was promotion tat time..for tat price i suggest u go for AEGO M..which is my next target..its just RM200+ more n u get top notch quality QUOTE(DotA 5.84C -AR @ Feb 6 2007, 02:33 PM) a ADA885 use on a onboard sound is a waste. no doubts, u definitely need a sound card my fren. from onboard upgrade to a good sound card, i think at least 30% and above improvement.  WOW, really? then wat kinda soundcard my ADA885 shoould be using? an entry level or a SubRM200 or RM400 or a platinum pro? wats a diff between all this? thx for reply!

this speaker...bass not strong enuff n i think the sound too sharp..n not clear..but it sure looks beautiful..thus its asking price if i rmbr correctly is around RM500, the bigger but uglier brother which are the 621 n 641 retails at RM600 n RM1l++ respectively..621 n 641 apparently have much better quality..i heard 621 but not 641..

my ADA885 is two years old plus...i doubt there is any1 selling these cables..but do i really need to change mine? or is it just with some of the altec speakers?
u mention burn-in? i tot burn-in is like letting a new speaker blast for a certain period to achieve its expected performance?
oh yea..can any1 recommend sound card for me..budget RM100+ apparently theres only audigy value to choose from..? any opinions?

QUOTE(xtreme_paladin @ Feb 9 2007, 01:29 PM) No need to change ADA cables (unless broken). Those were the days that Altec makes quality products. The ADA series is like glory days for Altec. Now they have MX, VS, FX that has so many problems. Yeah, burn-in is for new speakers only, like a heating up period. Sound card.....how about Philips Aurilium, don't know the price now, but it's quite cheap. oh..ic..i believe the ADA890(a whooping RM900) is even high quality..apparently if i'm not mistaken, ADA 885 is specially for asean region? Philips Aurilium? never heard of it..i was thinkin more about sound blaster.. thx! QUOTE(shinjun @ Feb 10 2007, 07:57 PM) Altec Lansing CS21 owner love my CS21..nice bass  use it for 11months almost 1year..i bought it from MyPC at LYP at RM450 Added on February 10, 2007, 11:47 pmmango mind to tell me wat SC u r using?might gona get 1 since that SC come wif remote  oh CS21, hows it? i haven got to listen to it..RM450...not bad a price..how does it sound compare to mx5021?
