Which is cool

I think THX is a just a certification of a level of quality. IIANM la
some say its a gimmick, but so far, among most of the THX certified speakers, most of them do perform pretty well, but some of them just aren't musical
i think it was the logitech z5500? i don't vaguely recall the model, but it was a logitech, it was pretty good sure, but lacked in some areas like staging and how it musically performed that wasn't really up to justify the price tag. but thats just me.

I read the z2300 is one of the best 2.1 systems...... The Mako has some big shoes to fill...

have to audition the z-2300 properly one day

from what i;ve heard, the bass is quite loose, gotta audition it myself one day

AegoM-GET?

i wish hahaa
haven't tried em yet but, its gotta be good

mako look damn nice, with the kick ass volume control lolz. I saw HWM not bad review about it. Beyond their expectations

no i haven't tried any sound cards better than Creative Sound Blaster live 5.1... but my current built in sound got DTS... i plug in a video out from my graphic card to my amp... and the sound coordination became better... but still wat so diff when using sound card...? and THX isn't a gimmick... it's an advance playback technology for sound coordination of volume and position... if u play my speakers on MOH:PA and compare wif u play Doom3... then u know wat THX really is... but when watching movie... u can try to get Creative X-Fi Platinum something wif watever Altec Lancing or watever PC speaker u have which won beat my sound positioning and volume accuracy... cuz THX certified Amps got built crossover circuits which enhances the delays and sound positions...

Well... enough said bout THX... it's TMH's era now...
BTW... i believe movies requires more sound processing than games...

i guess u must a good listener or musician to notice all that difference eh ? i only notice louder sound. I am using atp3, i have no problem blasting it. The sound doesnt crack. But when my fren who is using a logitech speaker blast ed his, the sound produced cracked. That is when sound card comes in rite.

I've never seen a bad review in HWM

Its always ok to have more speakers what dude!

My room only has space for a 2.1 system, which is why I like the compact design of the Mako.

I have a 5.1 Home Theather system in my house too...... will probably build a custom HTPC for that as well......

I wrote to Razer guy asking for some Razer HTPC goodness....... wishful thinking lah!

'm no pro in this but as far as I know, distortion comes from several factors.
The source or the hardware.

It might be digital audio was not encoded well enough and thus there are distortions during playback.
or
It might also be the speakers not being able to handle such loud volumes
or
It soundcard is unable to cleanly output the signal to the speakers.

Well, correct me if I'm wrong.


Indeed, I was looking for new speakers last month, and I saw the Edifier C2.1, so I went for online reviews, and the HWM gave it a 8.5 and a silver award. So I thought its really good.
Almost placed an order for it, until my friend auditioned it and said its not that great, bass being lacking in power and mids being muddy.
I really didn't put much believe (My bad really T_T), until I went to audition myself. And he was right, word by word. Bass seriously weak, mids was moderately strong, but muddy, the highs don't really extend and was a little harsh and shrill.
Ugh. I'll never take HWM reviews seriously anymore.


@Blactrix
If the "Bringer of silent death" is really the dejavu inspired R200 from my dream, you better go get yourself a Gibson ZW custom Lol.
