You mean using the speakers only and discard the amp/DAC? Wouldn't it be waste of money since you are paying for the unit as a whole? I guess at the same value of RM1k, you can get a higher end unit of HiFi bookshelf. If I still remember correctly, there's a model call Diamond 9 or something which has been reviewed by TheStar before and has received a good rating.

that's wharfadale diamond 9.1 =) i don't quite like it's sounding. but it's not bad for it's price.

....
bookshelve is almost same as floorstander la
just slightly not tat much bass compare
PcWork addict with 1 of the bookshelves from Sonus Faber n he say floorstander also not as nice as it

really depend
dun categorize booksleve is lower than floorstader, coz they almost the same level.

is not about wat the point of getting S2k if wanna get amp or watever
from the begining till now
i just repeating the same thing n question
is, how far can S2k Bookshelves go?
ppl always desire better, dun u wanna let ur S2k b much better?
tat y need to find it out ma
then ur guys keep repeating " then wat the point of getting S2k" pula
zzz
*
floorstander are meant if you have a really huge hall, or if you are really willing to spend to do room acoustic. or else. it will sing loud. but not balance.
easily get bass problem. while bookshelve has less this problem. and who ever said bookshelve has less bass then a 2.1 / 5.1, u should really come and visit me, or even coolerthings.

It seem like you dont get it.
If I ask you to get rid of your AegoM sub and replace it with something bigger and more powerful. Rip off the amp and fit in something more powerful. And then hook it all up. And then what you get? AegoM on steroid?

Besides how much would you spent on the amp anyway? Rm500 amp? What was that!!?? A decent one would cost around 2k at least. My mom got a Denon amp downstair. But I wasnt interested hooking it up to my S2000. I hook it up b4 with my CDT 6.5 component and its 80W proved more than enough to prick the whole speaker upside down.
*
anyway. those amp like denon and the speaker alphine speaker you discuss is about AV amp and car audio, it doesn't actually categorizes in hifi speaker / amp. anyway. it's good to discuss. however i found that people tend to protect certain things they own. AEGO M is not best. so do S2000. i am not talking S2000 not worth. just my personally taste, i don't like it.
however, what ever float your boat, it's your bank account, you shall be happy with your choice.
and you might bang coolerthings for what he have (aego M) and think that he is skeptic. however the truth is he owned a not bad entry level of HIFI speaker (from germany) way before he ever bought AEGO M. and he even owned marantz and cambridge audio amp. =) hope that justify somethings.
and if i am not remember wrong, he also hard bang AEGO M when he first bought it, it's way below his expectation anyway. lol..

Haha.. i also want to join too.
so.... Anyone can bring the Bring the AegoM??
*

Ya, surprisingly once you turn the vol to 50% or more....wow, it really sing man!!  Now, I really know what it means when you say even when you turn vol to max you also won't get the annoying feeling  rclxm9.gif    B4 that i was playing only around 30-40% of the vol, scared to disturb neighbour ma as my place is usually quiet at night.  Tested over the weekend, turned the vol to 50%, shut my main door & take a walk on the corridoor outside, still can hear the music quite loud but not irritating at all thumbup.gif  but still loud if my neighbour doesn't listen to my kind of music sweat.gif  Actually, I was looking for something that cud deliver details & clarity even when in low vol...are there any??  I not bass head at all, I didn't miss the bass from my S2000 at all eventhough i only set the bass knob to ard 30%.  Can Aego M deliver that kind of clarity at low vol?? hmm.gif

Prior to my purchase, I hv only check out the Sonic Gear A6 at Sri Com, its vacumm tube really caught my attention but the more I listen to it the more I felt its lacking in something which I dunno how to describe, so I read up all the speaker  related threads in this forum & I that's where I got all the poisons biggrin.gif If I can remember correctly, beside you, brother IaHoS also owned the S2000, rite??  I must say I missed the AegoM's thread though becaused all this while, i tot AM is a 5.1 doh.gif  doh.gif  doh.gif  Otherwise I would hv check out the AM thoroughly b4 committing.

Anyway, I'm quite happy now although I still wanna find out how good is the AM compare to S2000 drool.gif
*
u know.
thats the reason the sound didn't distort when you play it loud. so you won't feel irritating. and most hifi speaker "HAVE TO" have that characteristic. it's a basic anyway.
if i blast my speaker full volume, i guest two blocks of ppl can hear it.. =P
anyway... Mr. coolerthings had warned twice by security for blasting too loud, and neighbor complain.. hahaha luckily i am not there.

Hi guys,

I am an Aego M owner, bought it about a year ago, i think it is really nice, good soundstage, depth, imaging when paired with quality DAC. But i do get the same frustration, the high are to me slightly bright and can sound fatigue at times.

I've paired my Aego M with a Citypulse DAC using BB PCM 1796 via a Trends Audio USB - S/PDIF converter through USB ASIO and Foobar. The results not to say really Hi-Fi, but its good for entry level.

Always wanted to get a bookshelf speaker, hoping that it would provide more natural bass as compared to a 2.1 system. Had my eyes on the ESI nEar for quite some time until i came across this Edifier s2K today. Anyway, i wanted to get a set of 2.0 just for music and leave my Aego M for multi purpose........wanted to know if the s2k is any better in terms of sonic quality...... i will only use it for music, generaly vocals, jazz etc. Cause there will be no point for me getting it if it is more or less on par with the Aego.

I don't mind bringing my systems for the benchmark test.....haha.........but you'll have to wait.........i am still in the UK....coming back next month......

Waiting to hear from the results of the test you all doing soon...... thumbup.gif
*
S2000 is on par with AEGO M. and IMHO, nEAR > AEGO M > S2000
however, nEAR is studio speaker, it's very detail, and balance. AEGO M has more fun. S2000 is boring flat.
anyway
if the gathering in yuheng house is a go, i might bring a floorstander (Made in denmark, other info secret) , coolerthings brings bookshelve (germany brand, made in germany. =P other info secret) , and if possible akabane Dr.jacker will bring old model of nEAR to the gathering. while yuheng has AEGO M.

QUOTE(yuheng @ Jun 28 2007, 09:17 AM)
bro, i wan to join bring nothing but zhaolu D2C, ok ah?
*
perhaps u don't even need to bring a things. just prepare enough foods, hot wings, french fries, and yada yada.
if possible maybe we use your place as speaker gathering. after i back from sarawak.
