Sorry to chip in from nowhere, if my $0.02 is of any worth to the original poster, I would get the AL MX5021 anyday over the GMX2.1.
If you were talking between the MX5021 vs original Klipsch ProMedia 2.1(not the GMX space-ship-like system), then I might sway towards the ProMedia 2.1 as there are enough reviews online to justify that too.....otherwise, if RM500 is the tops, buy the 5021....take care!

Opinion is based on personal audition done at Sri Comp(they have a nice rig setup for all these PC multimedia speakers....go try on a weekday where nobody is around yet...don't go on Sun/Sat, too noisy for proper evaluation). Also heard them at ALL IT, just ask the sales guy to demo both for you and audition on a weekday lunch/morning if possible. Other places also heard them but separately, not A-B style. However, if u like more bassy tracks by far, maybe you should spring for the GMX2.1.

BTW, i don't own either sets. My PC rig consists of Klipsch ProMedia 2.1, Aego M, Midiland S2-4100, FPS2000, AL ACS48, AL ACS45.1, VAL M20 MKIII(tube).....and just a few others like some ATC/Epos/Ls35a/Quad monitors and the like. Best advice, go listen like what everyone is telling you, once u hear both, there won't be any doubts as to your decision anymore regardless what anyone says, be they audiogurus or just budding enthusiasts.

Take care!

Good for you, have a nice day

Hi KJ,

The VAL is nice with a warm & lush sound sig, bass is surprisingly punchy(I think no need sub for small room although VAL does sell a matching sub to accompany this line), I replaced the stock tubes with some EH(didn't try JJ). Got them from yuckfou > 1 yr ago in almost new form, they look very polished and built is reasonably good cf to some standard hifi monitors. I like the sound and btw, they come originally without grilles...(memang no grilles in original form and box).....I don't have all those gear plugged into 1 PC LoL (I am still a sane audiophile), some are relinquished to my younger sis, and some older ones in bedroom as multimedia, some in box, some unopened(Edifier RT1900 MKII rosewood not the MKIII black one). I am currently looking at the Swans M200 or the T200B(new with remote) but wondering any reasonable dealer in Singapore/KL?

Cheers
