haiz...... just start the thread then get shoot already!!!! So far i still dunno how to delete or remove the duplicate post yet!!! anyone can help?
i'm not always online put in my post!!!
SonicGear good or bad thats depend on the user!!!

I pretty happy that other competitor very concern about this brand when i was at cebit fair!!!

I have been with Sonic Gear more than 3 years, this brand are growing up and become better( at least when we found out that the speaker got problem, i can sound to factory to tunning or modify it which is other branded speaker supplier cant do it, and just wait for what will coming next from the factory).

i am sure that sonic gear will grow bigger in the international market in this 2 year and produce more good and affordable speaker.

This is just my 2cents on Sonic Gear after i back from international Fair and market feedback.

their designer will have to modify their product because of info from distro?? =P first time hear that, perhaps just ask them to fired the designer group and just use your opinion to guide their design then... well ya. first thing i will suggest, that can't SG use their own design? rather than just copy other's outlook. internal part i don't dare to gurantee. but don't you notice that SG produce have some which looks so similar with ALTEC LANSING?
blue thunder 3 woofer is almost the same shape as altec lansing ACS45.1 / ACS295.
and there's numbers of design from sonic gear that mimic older altec lansing shap.
while morror 521 woofer look like creative woofer, satelite using logitech design...2GO design almost look a like with edifier MP220
that only makes me feel it's cheapo speaker as it copy other's design.
sound wise? i don't expect it sounds like B&W or AEGO M. but just at first, come out somethings flagship that can beat MX5021 / klipsch GMX or Edifier S2000.
all other brand has their own flagship. ranging from higher end to lower end. while SG product were all ranging at cheaper range, and all were same category/ range with different design only.
and do you really think add some LED screen at the front of the woofer is cool?
who really sit there and watch the eq dancing?
why don't just make it for listen, not to watch. you can save some cost there too. and not making it look so cheap.
try to think for customer too, some speaker doesn't come with grill. that's especially not good for children / home with small child.
as they will attracted by this vibrating thingy and eventually poke it.
to control volume, there's some model don't even have a wired remote control. all setting must done at the woofer. what if some one stuff their woofer under desk?
think about it again. consider from consumer point.
maybe then SG can sell better.
else point will pretty much rely on the sound quality...... this one, i can't help. perhaps SG desiner should go and listen to more speaker like edifier or altec which is their opponent. and perhaps. go for AE / B&W to learn more about hifi entry level speaker sound.

as i said. speaker is for listen. not for look. lol =)
i told my friend, if AEGO M comes in a shitty green colour. i will also buy it for it's price.
that's not LCD display. it's actually LED display. =)

seriously. i said my point not out from nothings. many of my friend back off from sonic gear because of the LED display design. they said it looks like a china brand.
why dont you start a vote, see how many user love the LED design and feel it's unnecessary?
why i said so is because, in the audio signal path. the more component it gone through, then the more negative influence to the audio quality. that's why, i think it's best for sonic gear to directly channel the input signal to the amp section. not going through the "graphical display". it will more or less lead to some bad sound.

i dont think speaker design should related to kids. a lot af other pc speaker or hifi also have a open look. for example MX5021, if the kids wanna poke the satelite also able to do that. if your house kids go to poke ur speaker that is your problem, not the speaker designer. i think the most important not the design look, is the sound quality.

as a new joiner in audio market, i believe improve sound quality and strike for more awards will significantly establish a good image to the end user. frankly speak, sonicgear really dont have a flagship speaker can fight with their competitor like S2.1D, MX5021, AegoM, or even though a Z2300. all those speaker i mentioned also win a lot of award and they also have the quality there. lets see logitech, they are produce mice and keyboard only last time, now every body know logitech. pls take note, logitech speaker are able strike for THX certified since they first join audio market. that is one of the reason logitech can so fast to grow up in the market.

my advice to sonicgear is.. try to improve sound quality, hire some expert(perhaps from hifi brand company  drool.gif ), get more award like what hifi, THX blablabla... try to put some effort in advertising, promote your company to good image, try to find some business alliance to expand the market

i am a sonicgear ex-user, i have bt2 last time when it just launch. that time sg is still very new, not much ppl know this brand. the reason i get to know bt2 is from star paper, they giv a best buy speaker award within RM250.  so... award is very important!  biggrin.gif  cheers

i pretty much agree with the bold part.
regarding the THX. even though it's not all about audio. speaker without THX might able sounds better than those with THX one. but gaining the speaker a THX at least let the manufacturer gather enough knowledge for producing a nice speaker.
how ever.

another advice to all fellow in this forum. there's no point we suggesting anymore. the more we said will lead to more arguement as i feel that sonic gear dealer will not entertain our opinion anyway.
from buying a speaker we can argue to child education.
what else? =)
perhaps if i am a sonic gear user who has the speaker burned out, they can also claim that my house power supply is not stable.

really no point of us to suggest as i notice that your so call user opinion is you wish to read somethings like " i just bought my sonic gear, and it rocks, it's best sounding speaker i ever heard. definitely worth the price."
we are here spending out time typing all this u think is just to make you feel hard?

even in edifier forum also will suffer some former who unhappy about their certain model. not all edifier is good, but at least they have somethings which most formers agree should sound the best for specific budget. and edifier did make afford to hire some sound engineer to come out with their S2000. and that is enough to make edifier more superior than SG. and our Mr. Edifier is truly friendly. at least he doesn't argue with consumer when they give their opinion, suggestion, or even flame at edifier speaker. that superior customer service already give enough reason for people to choose edifier.

i am not edifier fan boy anyway.
if you can't accept our opinion. you can just place up a vote, to see what a user prefer. if most of us voted for "I WANT GRILL" then do reflect it back to manufacturer, by adding a grill it might help sales. no point argue with children education over here.. end up those user still don't like the products that come out from SG after endless argument. even though you win here so what , consumer has the money, they can choose not to buy or to buy.

Mr. Compro. if you feel my post is not suitable in this fanclub. do PM me.
i will remove EVERY post i said in this thread.

Are all of these incidents attributed by low Quality Control?That's why i always avoid Sonic Gear since their speakers are just too darn cheap smile.gif

this is not low quality control. they purposely make it that way to save cost.

even if they design it nicely. they wouldn't put somethings that is a fake tweeter / super cheap tweeter on their product in the first place.
