Did u owned S2.1M? How is it? i just auditioned it for a while and i need more detail about this speaker before getting it.

Read many mentioned that the bass of S2.1M should own S2.1D including reviews. But it seems what you mentioned is otherwise. Are you sure you listen to the right speaker?

Seems that S2.1M doesn't live to what it was described in the review  . I'm looking for clarity and music and seems many agreed that this speaker have it. However, many mentioned that the bass is not as good as S2.1D. Also you are not the first person to mention that there are distortion when the volume knob couldn't even pass the mid level. This is kind of a big let down honestly. No wonder this speaker it's not so popular. I will give the speaker a final chance by auditioning it myself when i get a chance in doing so. But the result seems would be likely the same as more than one user are mentioning the same problem.

Where you stay? Maybe i can go over your place and listen to it  first before buying  . Actually i don't quite get what tight means but i know the boominess because i owned an AL 4121 which is popular for its boominess .

1. Does tight means when the bass is release out, you can fill the heart jumping feeling? Is this what tight and powerful bass means?

You mentioned "The S2.1d loose on those department, but have stronger power output, and doesn't distort as much as the S2.1m at loud volume " which means S2.1M music is distorted when in louder volume which i take it as a big letdown. If music started to become distorted when volume just reach the mid level of the maximum knob, it means the speaker itself is not capable to produce a higher and powerful output. Is that not so?

Boominess and tight.....If you have test something like Gmx 2.1 maybe you will know what is tight bass....and for boooominess go audition logitech Z2300...and play some same song and you will know.....

For s2.1m the distortion will not really that bad or a big let down...
Its just distort a lilttle like my R401 will distort if you hear properly at loud volume....
I think you couldnt hear the distortion except you turn on loudly or max...I dont think you will turn on until max if like this sure got distort la..other problem is soundcard....dont blame all the mistake at the speaker...the source also very important....you play low quality song then you will get the same low quality and dont expect it will get more better....It's just the matter of the taste of owner..like me, I like AegoM in clarity....
I think if you audition the speakers that u interested maybe you get clearer than we just say.....correct me if I wrong..sry..

hi everyone, just went to singapore comex expo and went to edifier booth.
C1, C2, M33/4/500, M3310, M2300, E1/2/3100/ E3300/50 all MP were present.
incl the old school R401, DA5k and S2000V.

i don't buy any cause i told salesman that i want speaker that sounds better than my M3300 but not so hi  price (2.1). he told me frankly speaking there isn't any except beyond 2.1 that is M3500, DA5k and S2kV.
wow S2kV beside DA5k,, no match already in song listening...
but DA5k bass is so loosen, gr8 for movie...

i wonder how S2K would sounds...
btw S2kV is 350SGD, is it worth buy?

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

The C3 is very powerful indeed and somemore it have a 8" woofer driver.

I auditioned S2.1M and in my opinion, it does not meet my expectations. In comparing with S2.1D i think S2.1D is even much better, of course this is just my personal opinion.

Are there any speakers where the sound quality and bass is equivalent to hearing music on a Sony Ericsson Walkman phone with Megabass turned on?

I'm using a modified driver on a SEW610i walkman phone and i can say i have never heard any speaker with that GOOD quality in SQ and tight, heavy bass. Anyone knows of such speaker?

Edit
Comparing with the speaker specs. of C3 with S2.1M, C3 seems quite far behind. If everyone claims that the output power and SQ is much better with C3, that's really a surprised. I guess i'll need to audition C3 myself too then.

Hmm.. How bout S530D. Is it out yet?

I'm not sure if music sound differently between different models. The stock driver for the Megabass is lousy. It has the issue where occasionally music will become 'softer' like the Creative SVM (Smart Volume Management). However, i'm using a modified W880 Blaster modified acoustic driver for my W610i. My personal opinion that the SQ and bass are very much improved compared to the stock driver that i listen to.

I have no idea why people mock me up claiming i don't know what i'm talking about when music and sound quality are all based on personal preference and opinion  . After all, i even stated i'm using a modified acoustic driver. As such i don't even bother to feed the troll.

Back on topic, I'm eager to audition S530D myself. Really undecided if i should buy S530D or wait for S2.1MK2

Wow the price is definitely very high and exceeded my budget. Was wondering if the price will be lowered much later.

I still cant decide between M2300 and ATP3... Just want to hear what the Edifier fans have it mind..

Which is the best choice for Classical Music? Or should I just slightly increase my budget and get the M3300 instead?
