hey besaid,
thanks for your opinion. Really appreciate it.
I guess, it goes without saying that M3300 is the best choice.

I went window shopping in KKinabalu and found lots of M3310 and M3400... but no M3300

I called PC City this afternoon and the lady said M3300 is available.
Plan to go there (maybe tomorrow) and audition the M3300.

Thanks Edifier.

ok, manage to hear edifier M3300, M3400 and Altec lansing vs4212 (if Im not mistaken) side by side. (I cant remember which other Altec Lansing models I auditioned).

For a boom boom effect, altec lansing vs4212 wins but sound is muffled. IMO for gaming sounds, and techno musics would be good.

M3400 - bass ok but sounds very loose (not defined). I do not know how to explain but I think that was my impression. Clarity less than M3300.

M3300 - Very bright sound, clear. Subwoofer need to turn the knob (at the back) to full to feel the bass. Bass is tight and defined. However, the boom boom feeling is not there. Treble is bright.

2 qns on M3300:
1- the subwoofer is facing the side. Would adjusting the subwoofer to face front make a lot of difference? or is it better to let the subwoofer to face its side.
2- the speakers I heard I believe are new. Would there be any noticable improvement in sound quality after their burn-in period? Would the bass improve and the treble not too bright?

Wish there's a place in KKinabalu to audition the S2.1MKII

I auditioned Samsung speaker (cant remember the model number), but it was in a different shop (ie not comparing side-by-side with the edifier). IMHO Samsung is too bright, didnot feel the bass. So, a better pick for me would be M3300.

nb: didnot auditioned the edifier at PC City (edifier's Sabah's distributor) but at another pc store.

hi killdavid,
thanks for the reply.

I just need to make further clarification as Im not an audio tech guy. Just a layman, hence my explaination and terminology used are not clear.



Looking at the picture above, the subwoofer is rectangular in shape and has a hole (air hole? I do not know what thats called ) at the 'front'. Looking from the front (ie facing the 'air-hole'), the subwoofer is facing the side. Hence that was my query is, if I change the orientation of the subwoofer 'box' so that the subwoofer speaker be facing me (ie the 'air-hole' facing to the side)... would that make the bass sound quality be better than having the 'air-hole' facing me? Which would be the preference? (sound 'quality' in general terms as different individuals have different preference)

Which would be the 'recommended' orientation? facing the 'air-hole' or facing the 'subwoofer speaker' ?

I think M3300 is a good buy. Just that comparing it side by side with Altec Lansing VS4212 boominess, I think M3300's bass is very tight (maybe a lil bit too tight). But (as killdavid explained in qn 2) after burn-in period, one should expect the bass will loosen up a little bit, which I think I prefer. I like the boom-boom effect of vs4212, but muddiness of the sound coming out from the speaker left me a lot to be desired. In my book, its a thumbs down to AL vs4212.
