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

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 , 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 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.

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.

bro,can recommend me any newer warmer sound card for my GMX? budget around rm 200++

Bro,i know from this forum that this AV71o is good,but the problem is hard to find.If want bulk still need to wait at least 1-2 month even after receive 10 orders.That's why i'm asking about NEWER sound card.

if like that,better save a bit more and go for GMX 5.1 

Bro,please understand.i never said that GMX is better.What i mean is if you keep asking the person to top up more and more how can he get good speaker within his budget?

As example,this guy asking which one to choose AL MX5021 or Klipsch GMX 2.1.Both are around same price RM500.WHY DO YOU NEED to recommend something that is more expensive like Aego M?Because the sound quality?Then why don't you just recommend gigaworks etc.

Btw,I do't know why you hated Klipsch so much.Jealous perhaps?

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!

OMG, what's going on here lol !

Short version:

Compared MX5021 and GMX 2.1. GMX 2.1 > MX5021. Got GMX 2.1. Got Aego M. Aego M > GMX 2.1 for music. Using GMX 2.1 more for all round performance. The End.

Read all my previous posts on the topic in other threads then . 'Nuff said.

1. yes. both play from my zen player. same album same song.
Josh Groban First Album - Josh Groban ,
Track 3. You're Still You

Josh Groban 2nd Album -
Track 5 . When You Say You Love Me.
This two track i listen a few time.
got other song. those blassing bass one...

2. well.. it's like it is clear. but some times, when the song "memang" have a lot of treble there. mx5021 tend to "poke" my ear a bit... sort of unconfortable with the level of treble. but with proper positioning. that can be slove.

3. lower mid. where those male singer with low vocal, will sound actually thicker in mx5021. but IMHO quite muffle compare to AM.

4. those bass like "bam bam bam"... higher HZ ,, or i should call it mid bass.. =P
aego is like "Doooom"
my room has reflective wall, very small. but some minor treatment done, like stick some sponge. use tennis ball as a stand for my woofer... eg.
the MX5021 is placed on rack, at open space. with carpet.
their rack has many layer. so i put the satelite on the rack which is same level as my ear. distance is 1.5M. and woofer on floor, side to wall.
that's best i can do. else the shop ppl will kill me for messing around with their speaker.
ps: all the sound comparison is some how based on my impression. after i heard MX. i go home straight away to listen to AEGO..
PS: silon. perhaps the reason u and i have different opinion with AM is because i changed the stock cable to Canare L-4E6S the first day i got it. not sure L-4E6S is better or not. but my fren, anand__2 which also using canare cable for his AEGO M claim that there's a different.
as for myself. i didnt really try to listen to the stock cable. but in my impression i though it is some how quite similar to canare.

conclusion : sound of mx5021 is particular very ok for a computer speaker. perhaps. IMHO it's much better than GMX.  watching movie (FF;advent children, Demo) is so nice.  and i guess that's why it has a THX over it. everythings well controled. sound stage is some how narrow compare to AM. it's like firing the song direct to your ear. no atmosphere. and close your eye. you can point where the sat is... and this problems comes with every multimedia speaker i ever heard. including GMX (super narrow sound stage)
but for multimedia speaker Mx5021 has the best sound stage i ever heard.
AM. while comparing it to MX, i can feel that AM is slightly "not so aggresive" sound compare to mx. so meaning it can play song loud, yet you can relax. but when comes to movie, i think people prefer mx5021 which can blass until the floor is shaking... (trust me AM in my room shake my floor too, with bass =1 )

if my MAX budget is RM 550, i will definately take MX5021. =) well. i said "I" prefef how mx sound. no offend to GMX lovers.

i feel MX5021 some how emphasis on lower mid. it's like the satelite and woofer both playing the lowermid... making it very very thick.. and some how quite muffle.. as the woofer is mono, and the midrange is "terkacau" AM also have sort of problems. but not as serious as mx. if i choose a describ to sound of MX. it will be like going through slight V shaped EQ.where the lowest point is upper mid.

sound before/ after recable of AM. will need to check back, hear it for longer periods then i update with you. this few days kinda busy for exam + assignment.

a female singer voice is some how not as smooth as AM especially when the singer sing louder... it's like got "spike" along the spectrum , and not smooth.

i say this is kinda mx is a bad speaker, infact, it still quite impressive. at least i give it higest ranking among all computer speaker i ever heard. it is bad when compare to AM , according to my song, my taste, under the specific testing environment. =)

hmm... i think there are some cases where... you bought a speaker... listen for it a few times and then u love it.... but later... u feel the other way....
and there are also cases where u hate the sound when u first heard it.... or just not satisfying enough.... but then later u will feel that ur ears love that same produced sound of the same speaker.... weird huh??? some people notice it while their speakers go through the "burn-in" process... others may only felt the psychology change in them.... so it is still up to them... their ears and their mind... how they want to receive the new sound... and get used to it....

by the way. i think... with the treble and bass level set to neutral at MX5021. the horn isn't colouring the sound quite much. and IMHO, as bright as ATP3. but slightly over power... very slightly. if can custom replace the caps inside the tweeter to tame it down. should be perfect. some how i quite like the twin drive mid range. it provide power compare to singel drive. where it can pump out some sound all in suddent... and can feel the power. especially when plucking the guitar string, it can feel how hard the people plug it. ( of course, AM also can hear =P)
and it's less distortion compare to singel drive. (1 drive lawan 2 drive, sure 2 drive win) some more. when compare to bigger driver speaker. the 2 X 3 "  did provide more detail sound, i believe smaller drive can move faster in this case.
so twin drive i assume it can provide some detail than single bigger drive, and also provide louder sound than singel drive which is same size.
speaker might sound better than those with THX.

izzit a waste to buy good speaker without good soundcard?? i'm using laptop and dunno wat is the brand of the sound card....
