just a young malay sri comp staff serve me, since he's the only one i can find there by that time...

well, eventhough the speaker is under burn in process, its performance is way better than my S2.1M...the amount of details produce by the S530D is better than S2.1M...and it's not bad in movie also...gaming wise, havent got the time to try yet...

but is there a function so call 'volume boost' on this S530D? cos i saw it written on the HWM magazine there but i cant seens to find this function on the controller...

Sri computer is in lowyat right? and is the free earphones promotion by Edifier or Sri Computer?

Try play with original CD. Pirate CD quality not good will cause alot of problem.

sometimes original CD also will have noise especially local recording, but so far i never have problem with imported CD.

For your budget, u may consider m2300, m3400, m3300 and C2of coz u can look at the E3100, E3300 and E3350...apart from the E3100, E series speakers are more toward to life style design speaker.

@Edifier
I playing lossless music (flac) and the paper sound is still there. I've just warrantied a new speaker. Hopefully, there'll be no such problem

Definitely the Edifier E3100.

Ok i've read thru half of this thread, looks like the recommendations goes to E3100 & M3300 . MM i'm keeping my options open ( & to increase my budget) to 5.1. How is the R501? What's the diff with MKII thingy? how does the R501 compares to C3 in 2.1 mode, or a totally different lower league? pardon my stupidity.

how much is the e3100? this guy quoted me rm180+... is this ok?

edit: I did a search online and the star's review dating back to sept 2005 had a listed price of rm179! and this guy wants rm180 after TWO years on the market?? seriously how much is this going at lowyat plaza?

e3100 at rm180? it's BS ok? my fren bought it for rm169 at ALL IT HYPERMART almost 4 months ago

but of coz have to depend on which area u getting it from. if it's outside klang valley then expect to pay higher price

its in selayang and the guy said he's not sure coz it's out of stock but he did say it was rm180+. A bit of bargaining could have lowered the price I suspect.

since you mentioned AllIT then I think I might go to digital mall and buy it there, since lowyat plaza is such a pain to get to in a car with all the traffic.

After u max the volume and continue to high up the volume then the "volume boost" will turn on. But i afraid u neighbour will knock your door b4 your reach that high.

oic, thx for the guide jack...manage to find the vol boost function but dun dare to try it coz afraid my family members and neighbours will really come and knock my door...

nvm ma tell them sharing is caring

decided to get the e3100. now I'm hearing static when I turn the volume up (when I'm not playing anything). I checked the cables and they are all fine... why is this?

...haha, later kena saman from uncle police then die lo...

Just to update everyone. My warrantied speaker have lesser noise/distortion now compared to my first newly bought C3. However, when playing musical instrument especially piano musical score the 'paper sound' is still there on high notes when the volume is moderately high. Overall i'm very much satisfied with my C3. My experience in listening to music, playing games and watching movie is definitely MUCH MUCH better compared to my previous AL4121 . Only cons may be the satts not able to handle higher volume and hence causing noticeable 'paper' sound effect on certain tone or frequency.

i'm having the c3 also, would you mind to send me the source of you which u claim will produce paper sound? i might wan to test also. and see whether is the source or wat. or we should test with other type of speaker to see it's the limitation of c3?

R501 is the old model.
R501MK2 is the newer ver.,, which include tweeter in its satellites...

well, generally, R501 is an old product, and C3 is new one,
so i do suggest get a C3. unless you're into gaming and movie.

5.1 have general advantage, which is the "surround" effect which is useful in gaming and also movies.

hence, generally it depends on your needs,, music or movies come 1st??

Cheers, no need to shame one., neither man is perfect.

Sure no problem. I'll be happy if you can test it out too whether if it's my Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic the source of the problem or the source mp3 file itself. I'll pm you my msn and hence i could send you the file and verify it when we both online . You can hear the paper effect sound quite clearly when you play solo musical instrument such as the piano when on moderately high volume. If your ear is sharp enough you'll hear the 'bzzzt' sound effect on every piano note being played.
