II/
Let's take AL ATP3 (the best price i may pick it up is 49$) as the base line for this little battle on speaker. (my friend's small but powerful speaker).
Have a see @ these speaker :

--1/ Logitech X-230--> 55$
--2/ Edifier M2300 --> 42$
--3/ Edifier M3300 -->42$
--4/ Edifier M3400 -->49$
--5/ Edifier M3310 --> 46$

Which one will outperform AL ATP3 ? (In clarity and bass reproduction - I care much about the clarity ). Which one has the best ratio Performance/Price ?

IMHO Klipsch Promedia GMX A-2.1 is not that good. Disco type bass for basshead, missing midrange and very bright sound are what you can get from it. And anyone of the speakers in "section I" pawn GMX A-2.1.

lol, I was waiting for your reply.
No offense, just sharing my opinion here.

I have tested the GMX A-2.1 with Philips PSC 805, Prodigy 7.1 LT, Chaintech AV-710 and Audigy 2 ZS. All these sound card are considered a quite a good source for this speaker. Mostly test it with high bit rate mp3 and some .ape, .wav format songs. Testing enviroment is in my room, mostly at night which is "quite". Beside that, the Klipsch GMX A-2.1 is consider burn in already since it has been used for year. The bass contoller was set depends on the type of the songs, some songs need more bass while somes need slightly lesser.

First of all, the bass is considered powerful, but most of the songs don't need that kind of disco, heart punching type bass. Regarding to the missing midrange, don't you feel like you are listening to the songs in a "tin can"? It sound hollow and thin.
And lastly the brightness, it is so bright untill I can't even sit in front of it for more than 15 minutes. Btw, the satellites was placed approximately 26" apart and 24" from listening position. For subwoofer, I have tried placing it near the wall and also not so near to the wall. Overall, "it is not that good". I used to have a Edifier S 4.1 which pawn this GMX A-2.1 anytime. Wait, except the disco type bass when listening to those techno/disco type songs.

well, in fact what is the definition of tight bass? perhaps the tight of ur meaning is different with other's definition.
by the budget price, i really won't think you can get a superb setup with wide sound stage, transparent sound, well define treble, sweet vocal, and tight bass all in one. else why we bother to spend couple thousand to buy an ENTRY level of hifi speaker? even AEGO M were f**ked up by people claiming it's emphasized on vocal, treble, lack in bass, yada yada...
IMHO within price range of RM 1000, all we can do is to find a speaker sound that suit our own taste, we can't get an nice all rounder with that price, as it is mainly design to use as multimedia speaker / computer speaker which end up playing majority MP3 or loosely format.

i had two MP220, with price of it RM 99, i can buy an creative 2.1 speaker already. but heck i know there will be some sacrificed. i want vocal, it gave me vocal, that's good enough for the price, i won't blame it for unable to produce bass. just same theory, buying somethings within a budget price, we should be prepare for some "flaws" that had with it. and what you should really do is to test it out, to see u can detect the flaws, or u can tolerance it or not.

i had chance to compare the difference between M3300 and VS4121 side by side. For the Vs4121 i found that the mid's really bad and the bass is powerful and not good...somehow it may produce so much bass but in form of "u..u.u.." <- Did u mean that "not tight" ?
