Hi all. I'm looking to change to a new 2.1 speakers. I've seen many talked about M3300 but i don't like its design. I think i like the M3400 design much alot. I'm heavily on all movies, music and gaming. And i know there's no such as jack of all trades and master of all tongue.gif.

I'm looking into clarity in music (the mids and highs) as well as a strong and solid bass. I'm currently using Altec Lansing VS4121 and i'm really disappointed with the Mids. Just would like to know everyone's opinion on M3400 as i do really like it's design. Any problem with the Mids and Highs? Compare the bass with VS4121, which is better?

And in terms of pricing how much is M3400 now? Thanks everyone and cheers smile.gif

Edit
Comparing with M3400 with S2.1M any sifu can give some thoughts? Earlier pages were mentioning M3300 more and recent ones mentioned S2.1M. Are most of Edifier connectors from satelites to the woofer are using spring clip connectors? Are there any jack connectors type for these speakers?

Thanks.

So it means M3400 bass is better than S2.1M? Comparing with VS4121 bass, is S2.1M better? I think i'm very much now on S2.1M instead of M3400. Wanted to go for much better quality than regret for buying something i'm not satisfied tongue.gif

Previously i was using Edifier R401. After reading massive positive comments and i've decided to give it a go. Unfortunately, the bass is quite a big let down to me. Also the satelites cable looks too thin and fragile to me. That is when i've decided to go for Altec Lansing instead. Apart from the boominess of VS4121, the mids are really a big letdown. It is so noticeable that some music became too soft and loss.

What is the current price for S2.1M? Thanks smile.gif

Edit
Just for your guys information i'm currently using Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic soundcard. Wondering if it's best suited for S2.1M. Thanks notworthy.gif

I know VS4121 bass is boomy but i feel that the bass is quite strong.. Maybe that's just me sweat.gif .. Is S.21M bass comparable to VS4121? The only thing irritates bout it is the Mid downfiring.

If the bass for S2.1M is all good and comparable to VS4121 i'm sure i would go for it. Pls. poison me guys tongue.gif

R401 change to s2.1m is a good move....
I also thinking of changing my speakers but I must upgrade my soundcard 1st...Archaven, do you like the treble for R401?

xterminator, as mentioned earlier i've owned a R401 before. Don't really like the thin and fragile cable as well as the bass is not good enough for me sweat.gif

anyone has any experience between S2.1D and S2.1M? which one is better? the sub of S2.1D is quite huge!. in terms of bass, treble and clarity which is better? Thanks notworthy.gif

definitely S2.1M is better, especially the bass part

Care to give more elaboration? smile.gif. Here's a comparison i made between S2.1D and S2.1M:-

1. S2.1D has 3" midrange driver and 0.75 inch dome tweeter while S2.1M has 2.5" midrange and 1" tweeter. Is there a huge difference with 0.5" midrange?
2. The satellites of S2.1D are with MDF wood enclosure while S2.1M is plastic if not mistaken.
3. The RMS of S2.1D satellites are 20W each while S2.1M are just 18W each. Again, is there a huge difference in 2W for the satellites?
4. S2.1D has built-in 96KHz/24BIT audio decoder while there are no review that mentioned of any built-in decoder for S2.1M.

Really hope some audiophile geeks could share their wisdom for this comparison smile.gif. notworthy.gif

Thanks all for provide their valuable feedback. It seems that it all bends down to preference. Some say S2.1M offers more punch for bass while maintaining music clarity compared to S2.1D where the bass is shallow. I auditioned it myself on S2.1D and i'm very much agreed that the bass for S2.1D is quite "shy" and i feel all that shines for S2.1D is the satellites.

Was wondering myself if S2.1M satellites would be comparable to the one of S2.1D sweat.gif. Really quite like S2.1D myself just that the bass has not enough punch for me which is kind of a let down to me.

Least but not last, does anyone knows if S2.1M has built-in 96KHz/24BIT audio decoder? I read all reviews i could get about S2.1M but none mentioned any built-in decoder whatsoever. Hope someone could share some light if this built-in audio decoder offers much better sound quality?

PS. Sorry for being a noob. What is SQ?

Thanks.

Nope I don't own the S2.1M. But I do spend quite some time audition the S2.1M tongue.gif  I have the S2.1D though.

If I remember well, the S2.1D sounded a bit harsh when compared to S2.1M. At low volumes, the S2.1m sounded nicer. Not really good at loud volume. However, If you wanna blast, I'd say S2.1D ftw tongue.gif

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? tongue.gif

Yes, 100% it is the right speaker. I test the speaker few times already  wink.gif
The bass owns in terms of tightness and being more musical than the S2.1D. The bass from the S2.1m is more clear. The S2.1D is more boomy in other words, loose bass as I said in the previous post. If you are gaming, you will definitely want the bass from the S2.1d.

if you don't understand what I'm saying, its like comparing vs4121 kind of bass and the m3300. Except that the S2.1d is way better tongue.gif

At a very loud volume, the s2.1d doesn't distort as much as the s2.1m.
*
Seems that S2.1M doesn't live to what it was described in the review sweat.gif . 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.

Actually, you don't quite get my point. I put it out in point form:

1) the bass produce by the s2.1m are tight, musical, not the boom boom loud bass.
2) the clarity, is good for its price. Can say better than the S2.1D at low-moderate volume. If you you want to blast it off all out, S2.1D have stronger power.  At low volumes, it is not that enjoyable to listen to the S2.1D, you have to turn it out pretty loud to listen to music. Else there will quite a lot missing in details.

4)The 2.1m offers more clarity, sounded smoother, have tight bass.
5) 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 wink.gif
*
Where you stay? Maybe i can go over your place and listen to it first before buying drool.gif . 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 tongue.gif.

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 wink.gif" 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?

I do agree that the S2.1M feels underpowered. The loudness output isn't that loud. I only push the volume up when I'm taking a shower though, gotta listen to music every time man.

So far, its performing well, very good instrument separation and the bass is pretty accurate, though it isn't the tightest bass, but it is still pretty tight. The sound staging is quite freaking wide, for gaming, when I play CS:S I can really hear the opponents footsteps from far to near. Which is gives a good advantage.
Mids are strong and sweet, the highs are clear but not shrill [a major improvement over the VS4121, which the highs is really shrilly.]

One thing I did really like bout the VS4121 down-firing design is that it directs the sound multi-directional, but it drowns the mids a little.
The S2.1M has small design flaw, they should have angled the midrange driver and the tweeter slightly upwards, cause we won't get to hear every single detail if the sound is directed to our shoulder.

About the distortion on higher volumes, so far I only experience that on less well encoded digital audio, no such problems with most of my lossless audio and higher bitrate encoded digital audio formats.
All in all, an excellent buy. I'm a satisfied user.

That's a very great review you have there thumbup.gif .. I would have bought it if you posted it earlier tongue.gif. But i've lost confidence in S2.1M ever since most user comment it that it lacks power. I'm waiting for S2.1 Mediapro instead drool.gif

At first i also like S2.1M design alot. But later found out the specs. and user comments didn't really meet my expectation. I've yet to audition it myself, but i'm now waiting for S2.1 Mediapro thumbup.gif

If it's not as good as S2.1MK2 then i'll probably have to take MK2. Would rather buy something good than regretting later sweat.gif

Wow out of a sudden there are few that who are so fond of M3300 or M3400 tongue.gif. Anyone knows if S2.1MKII will beat S2.1 Mediapro? What i've so far from this thread is that S2.1MKII the bass is boomy.. which i felt really bad though. Really hope they launch mediapro as soon as possible. Really can't wait for the reviews and get one myself tongue.gif
