I already did a comparison with my bro AegoM so count me out. Besides Im very busy, 6days work.
My impression of AegoM is a bit like Akabane. Its good but for me, its just as good as it gets. S2000 offers something different. Thats why I said taste matters. It offers refinement, details and smoothness over the AegoM. Though it might lack a sub, but honestly if you ask me, comparing to AegoM, I dont feel I miss the sub.

They would rather buy a cheapo 5.1 speaker set which has lots of bass and boom boom boom. I was like that too lastime, boasting ACS48 + ACS45.1 when I first introduced to 4.1 with SB Live.
ACS90>ACS45>ACS45.1>ACS48>BOSTON BA7500>S2000.
lol
my jumping is something
i last time use a creative SB 2.1, duno wat model, cheapo
then suddenly own a bookshelve, n the bookshelve much power than S2k

but i still satisfy with AM sound, tat y i will like to take it to compare AB
n tat the reason b4 i asking, since S 2k is a pasive speaker, as u said the decoder come with AMP, i assume the S2K wont sing if without tat amp, wat if pair with better amp, how the potential will go?, tat wat i really like to found out
i try arrange n see how

might can do a audition next saturday if i manage to get some free slot
