i think the true successor of M3300 should be M4300.
but no news yet. but im still hoping it'll come out.
M4300

hi there, i accompanied my fren to buy his E3100 2 days ago. i cant help but to wonder (warning: noob question ahead), why E3100's price (RM169) never drop much considering that it is a few years old model compared to M2300 which dropped reli alot (selling at RM149 now) which is a newer model? i do agree E3100 sounds nicer to my ears but it is pretty subjective rite?

unpleasant experience to my fren coz the technician forgot to give him the cable connecting to the soundcard after testing, he had to fork out another rm7.90 for the new cable

Thanks for ur reply. It's disappointing to hear that S2.1M has less clarity. I was hoping that it'll have significant improvement in terms of clarity and bass over M3300 considering that it's price is almost double that of M3300. How about C1 and C2?

FYI, S2.1M have better SQ & Clarity than M3300. Please try it yourself @ Edifier showroom.

Hm... i think you should try it out yourself as i personally feels that s2.1m sound different from m3300 in term of clarity n bass. Let's put it this way, no doubt that m3300 can produce very clear, sharp sound..but when i listen to s2.1m...it giving me a special feeling especially when listen to vocal song...it is like the sound is "brighten" and it is more natural if you compare it to the m3300..hm..very difficult to describe it here until you test it out. BTW, C1 is not available in Malaysia yet but i did had a chance to try it out myself, it sound pretty good for the price tag (estimated selling price) given...hopefully we can have it in Malaysia asap so that it can benefit those users who love external AMP but can not afford C2. And it doesn't have the features like remote controller, EIDC (Edifier Distortion control system) that we have it in C2. Hope this help

How it sounds is subjective. You should go and test out yourself, and trust your own ears.
I tested many many speakers before landing a purchase on the S2.1M.

From my experiences, I'll write a short review. Do note, this is my preference in music, which is balance between all frequency ranges. I prefer vocals and instrument separation over chest thumping bass. So, clarity and accuracy of sound produced is on the top priority list.

Edifiers

M3300 - Powerful bass,not overly flabby, but not tight as well, somewhere smack in between, and not so accurate. The satellites produces pretty powerful midrange but its albeit muddy. The highs, doesn't shine, clarity is also so-so only.


M3400 - An improvement here, bass retains power, its tighter and more accurate. The midrange driver still is muddy but the highs are better in clarity. Sum it up, a better buy than the M3300 and one of Edifiers best performers.

E3300 - I didn't give this speaker much time, cause its looks is a turn off (to me). But after a brief listen, it seemed to me that the bass is flabby, mids are a little weak, but the highs are strong, but a wee bit shrill. For its price, there are better. So I looked elsewhere.

C2 - This was the speaker I had in mind, because it had an external amp which would obviously be superior than an built-in amp and an infrared remote, which I thought would be wonderfully handy. However, when I tested this set of speakers, to my HORROR, the bass was weak. VERY weak. Tightness wise and accuracy wise was better than previous speakers (exception of M3400). Now don't go telling me to equalize using software, it defeats the purpose of having bass controls built into the speaker (or in this case the external amp). The satellites, although in everyway looked similar to the M3400, was muddier than the M3400. The highs however, extends slightly further with more presence. Despite its pretty hefty price tag of 289MYR, it by far under performs.
If you thought HWM gave it a good review, I'm telling you, back off. This product will not cut it. The M3400 is much more worth your ears and money.

S2.1M - Since there were rave reviews bout this, I already set my sights on this after the horrendous experience with the C2, also because it fits the budget. First impressions was the staging, which is pretty wide, tested by standing 2 meters away, but the satellites were only bout 2 - 2.5 feet apart. The bass is tighter than all other Edifiers I tested. The midrange is strong and sweet. The highs extend pretty far and clarity shines. The instrument separation is very very good. The crash and snares are very defined. After a pretty long test, it fits almost everything. But this is not without its gripes though. The S2.1M's satellites in my humble opinion is very underpowered. It doesn't get loud enough until you push it at least half of its power. Also, this speaker is very demanding on its source, have a badly encoded record, prepare to hear loads of distortion. Best is to pair it with a good soundcard and play it with lossless audio. There is also a horrible design flaw which I think is crucial. The S2.1M satellites should have been angled upwards on a certain degree, since mid and high frequencies are very much directional, we won't be hearing every bit of details if its firing at your shoulders would it?

Its 399MYR price tag maybe steep for some, but its money well spent, as there is no Edifier, or I dare say from even any brand that is as musical as this set of 2.1 speakers.
Oh, not forgetting, this speakers aren't made for gaming, its staging is wide, but the bass being so tight, doesn't sound very nice with games. Its also above average for movies only unless its a musical, then it becomes awesome.Lol.


Altec Lansing

ATP 3 - This being the predecessor of the VS4121, was renowned for its clarity. I'll tell you that it performs just as its reputation says. Its mids are a little weak, due to its down-firing design, but it sounds sweet and its highs are clear, with just enough presence, but it doesn't extend too far. Its bass, isn't as weak as most people some it up. Probably because to my ears, 100dB of bass and 25dB of mids and highs is not defined as nice, on the contrary thats what I would call horrible sound. The bass is actually well balanced with the mids and highs. Long story short, Old but Gold.

VS4121 - This was my previous speaker, before it crapped out. I bought this back when I wasn't so demanding and through a friends recommendation, it ended up as my trusty set of speakers for 5 years. To start off, the bass is really really powerful, but flabbier than a sumo wrestler, its loose and rather inaccurate. Which makes it great for games and movies, a total NO for music. Its mids is slightly weak like the ATP3 but definitely more powerful if compared to it, to be honest its not very clear or nor is it very muddy. The highs on this set, is really shrill, pushing the volume up makes your ears feel like its being attacked by an ice-pick. For its price tag, I believe if you love your music, go with the ATP3 or an Edifier M3400 which should be in the same price range.




Sonic Gear

Wasn't intending to bother with Sonic Gear, as I have auditioned some of them because I was too free, but the promoter said to give them a shot. So when I was about to select one of them to listen, he recommended a set, which I can't gravely recall its model, but through pictures I think it was the ENZO model. As I readied myself to give it a good listen, he pumped up its volume (and I don't like that really) all I heard was bass and ear piercing treble. Mids? There were none. It sounded as hollow as an empty beer can and boy, it was such a horrible experience I never want to see(or listen) another Sonic Gear ever. No offence to Sonic Gear fans though. (What would they be doing here anyway =p )



Well, hope that helped you and hopefully most readers a little on deciding what speakers to get next. =)

Edifier e3300

XD ~~Edifier are the best ~~~XD suport suport ~~~

i think its because the E3100 has bandpass subwoofer.
overall sound doesnt differ much, but the bass characteristic is really different.
the E3100 produce low bass which is good for music listening.
but when it come to very low freq like for those in game and movie,
you'll find M3300 bass better than E3100.

in clarity, i must say that M3300 is brighter than E3100.

personal preference i guess, we tried e3100, M3300, M2300, and Logitech X230, Altec Lansing ATP3 and Sonic Gear EVO7. e3100 sounds nicest among all others in our opinion. SG EVO7 is reli bad compared to all of em

can any user of m2300 share the opinion of subwoofer placement? is possible, plz put a pic.

That's what I thought too. At low volumes, I can't think of anything else beating the e3100. Nice clarity, nice bass. But no boom-boom

in clarity i like M3300 more ~~~support Edifier more XD
and the bass also strong in the woofer ~~
