altec lansing mx5021

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 just got my GMX this evening.yeah,there is some hissing sound,but not noticable.very minimum biggrin.gif

Tryout the CS21 or the Megaworks 250D brows.gif

In my opinion, the CS21 sounds wayyy better than the MX5021. The MX5021 sounds awful even with a warmer X-Fi card.

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

the av710 is very very warm and extremely pleasant.

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. doh.gif

theres nothing wrong with the age of the item; newer things can still be worse. besides, there isnt anything at this price that can even come remotely close to how the av710 sounds.
*
I don't have problem with the age is just that I cannot wait that long. laugh.gif .I also know that nothing at the price (RM 100) can beat AV710,that's why I'm ready to spend RM 200++ for newer sound card that can match or perform better than AV710.

im not trying to start a flame war or anything, but dont be foolish. the GMX is no where near the aegoM in terms of objective performance smile.gif

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? whistling.gif

if that was your point then your post implied otherwise.

if you look closely, i wasnt the one who asked for him to top up for anything smile.gif

ahhh, YES YES YES im SOOOOO jealous over those klipschs. they SOOOOOOOOO good and because i cant afford them im VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY jealous.  doh.gif

if you look closely, i only said the GMX 5.1 name because OF THE PRICE.not the quality whistling.gif

i'm SO SAD that you are VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY jealous whistling.gif

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! smile.gif
*
Just want to know,your $0.02 is based on your PERSONNEL experience or just ONLINE REVIEWS? whistling.gif

I also found some "bad" reviews about the AL MX5021 and the GMX 2.1,but hey guys..let the person test the unit on his own.NO NEED to give advice if you never tested it.

I know how to read la.That's why funny,people talking about MX5021 vs GMX 2.1
NOT AEGO M vs GMX 2.1 doh.gif

I just put the GMX 5.1(more expensive) because somebody just put up AEGO M name and SUDDENLY this guy comment about GMX 5.1 performance against AEGO M! I NEVER said the GMX 5.1 against AEGO M.

What the hell man! vmad.gif

Did you state that you are talking about the price of GMX 5.1 instead of the performance clearly ?
Did you see how silon was trying not to start a "flame war" by saying "im not trying to start a flame war or anything..." the only comment?
Is the topic of this thread "MX 5021 VS GMX 2.1"?
Are you the thread starter?
Are you a kid or a mature "man"?
*cough*was trying not to post this in this thread for a few times already, but really can't stand this guy*cough*

PLEASE see my post (#44) doh.gif

Then why was your comment "Never hear the actual sound" instead of "Dont talk about unrelated items?" whistling.gif
Come on, dont be a sore loser

The fella said "Go for Aego", u quoted that and replied "Go for GMX 5.1 better"
Now how is that not saying that the GMX is better than the Aego?
Perhaps a few classes in logic might help

PLEASE read my post (#44)

I ALREADY MENTION that i mean the PRICE not quality! CANNOT READ ? doh.gif

OMG, what's going on here lol biggrin.gif!

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. biggrin.gif

Bro,nice indeed thumbup.gif . At least have one more person saying GMX 2.1 better than MX5021.Anyway,i think this is personal opinion so nobody need to get angry.If you think MX5021 better,than get one.Don't buy the GMX.

Although the GMX don't have wireless remote, i can use my hp to as "remote" for application such as winamp,media player and etc. biggrin.gif

Beside that, I really don't know how you "adjust" the settings to gain back the totally missing midrange?
If there is such a settings, please tell us here, I would like to help my friend who curretly own a Klipsch GMX 2.1 and Philips PCS805 to gain back THE TOTALLY MISSING MIDRANGE. rclxms.gif

*Just realize that you were using Prodigy 7.1 LT. Never mind, I can get a Prodigy for him to test out "the settings", just tell us what "the settings" are, thanks. smile.gif

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.  whistling.gif

Take care!

no need to go test,i already got myself gmx 2.1 coz i prefer a bit more bass. tongue.gif
