I'm also considering on this two models + Logitech Z2300, going to pair the speakers to creative SB Audigy 4. I'm more to music.

altec lansing mx5021
klipsch gmx a2.1
logitech z2300

it's already been a week still cant decide to choose which system rclxub.gif

klipsch gmx 2.1 got alot negative review about the annoying static sound when it's not active. So my choice left only the z2300 or mx5021,

i more into music and anime and i do need some bass sometimes blush.gif

hoping to get one tomorrow if able to decide today,

please advice,

thanks

i think rm550 is ok but the lowest price i found is rm535 from MTEC,

anyway, have u listened to the mx5021 yet? i just feel that the sound produced is very "digital"

u didnt consider the z2300? I havent tried out the z2300 yet but there's alot ppl saying that it's lacking of midrange

movie and game. i think GMX is better for u. mostly becoz of GMX's powerful sub.


so u from MMU Melaka, stygix just increase their price for GMX. last month they sell it for RM490 only.

*looking at chocobee_2707's pic and wonders for a short moment*

those twin mid range drivers of the mx5021 sure look cool and are quite interesting. no one has ever talked about bass/mid integration before dry.gif

i dont think AL would be cheesy enough to have all 4 drivers produce the same frequency range [or perhaps they ARE that bad?? unsure.gif brows.gif]; it should be interesting to see how they perform!


edit:
looking at AL's page, i wonder if the horn tweeter has anything to do with the brightness that has been talked about?

Er Silon dude, surely you don't mean you never knew what was behind the cloth covers of the MX5021 up till now?

Anyhow, I get what chidori means when he says it sounds "digital". It's so bright that you could say the sound it produces is very "fabricated" at times. Definitely nothing to associate with neutrality.
But dude chidori, believe me, the Z2300 does lack alot of things in the midrange, so don't get it unless you really really want loads of bass (that isn't even well defined to begin with).


OT: sad.gif If my Inspires don't sell, I'm gonna be stuck with them for awhile more.

thanks for the advise evilnickwong, since i'm more into anime n music so i guess i'll just get the mx5021 instead.

just hoping the mx5021 will sound "softer" after burn-in.

cheers

i dont think all 4 mid range drivers produce the same frequency range. the lower driver produce lower freq, and the higher produce higher freq. maybe only me feel that way sweat.gif, or resonance from the table. there also hissing problem for mx5021 when the speaker idle. just same problem as GMX.

I really like it(mx5021) sound for musics. i never try those high end speaker, just compare with my roomate GMX. but for movies or anything that need for bass, i prefer GMX.

*sorry for bad english*

well, i knew for a fact that each sat has twin drivers [if thats what youre talking about; i had no idea of the horn loaded tweeter!] for a long time but they really struck me when i saw them in real life once: the sats were HUGE!
but somehow i never gave them much thought though tongue.gif

as for the brightness:
*the bells ring in silon's head* horn loaded tweeter! horn loaded tweeter!! laugh.gif laugh.gif

seriously, i really wonder if its all down to that damn tweeter?? unsure.gif

evilnickwong, there isnt anything that cant be sold in this world [well, except for really preposterous things of course laugh.gif]. i suppose its all a matter of 'how low are you willing to go' laugh.gif but too low and you might just be better off keeping it laugh.gif

perhaps you can try doing this?

driver1: [ear]

driver2:


then move your ear down to the 2nd driver and see if you could hear a difference laugh.gif

not having great english is not a crime bro, you have nothing to apologise for tongue.gif

Well if I can't sell it, my own rationale says I can't get new speakers. 'Sides, I just received two *cough*speeding*cough* letters a few days ago, so reluctant to buy without selling. laugh.gif

Do all horn loaded tweeters sound bright? But the GMX has horn loaded tweeters too doesn't it, I don't think I've heard anyone describe it as bright.

for me, GMX tweeter not bland well with the mid driver. feel like im listening to separate unit of mid and tweeter. even edifier s2.1d have better satt than GMX.
*from my judgement*

GMX may not describe as bright coz the bass already cover up its bright side.
