I've tested the edifier M3300 and HCS2330. seem to like the HCS more..
the clarity is amazing..

but i've yet to audition the logitech z4 and edi m3300sf..

RM290 for the HCS2330 sounds ok?? or i can bargain more from Skyzone?

m3300 and m3300sf they sound almost the same, just their satellites are different. Hardly can find hcs nowadays biggrin.gif if you like it then you go for it.

Really hard to find a shop that can audit z5500 and s550 at the same time in Penang . I hope i can go to K.L , can u suggest any shop that can audit z5500 and s550 in K.L.

here is the million dollar question
is s750 worth the wait?
i intend for my room use will it overkill?
of course there are s550 and the s5.1 mk2 to consider
*
Do you want a surround system or not?? If you do, then go for 5.1.

How big is your room?? If you are placing a monster like s750, definitely the space will bottleneck the performance of s750.

hi to all pro....need help  icon_question.gif ..... edifier m3500 and sonic gear 2R 5.1 which one can produce better high frequency?

low frequency not too concern on it since already bought "altec alnsing XA3001 woofer". my budget is below rm350.

Edifier R501 mk2 is too exp for me plus i use it in my room only. Use it for listen music and watch movie (surround sound).

i research a lot of forum from low yat, most of it support Armageddon and blue thunder (sonic gear). As for the

edifier,most of it recommend r501 or c3.
Before i go to the shop listen for the both speaker quality,i would like to ask u guys suggestions first.
currently using creative xi fi extreme audio.

please give some suggestions.
thanks a lot... smile.gif

R501 is better than that BlueThunder, no matter sound quality or the speaker itself.

QUOTE(alanloo8128 @ Jul 13 2009, 11:57 PM)
except r501....any others speaker can recommend? thanks

searching the r501 info rite now....

What kind of system are you looking for? 2.0, 2.1 5.1??

What is your demand for your speaker...??

im looking for 5.1 speaker(purpose for surround)....i need the speaker can produce high range quality like atp3,at least near atp3 quality(purpose for music).i already got altec lansing xa3001 woofer,im afraid if choose r501 will too bassy or my xa3001 will become useless...

im use it in my room only...quite small room. Just for movie and music.

sorry ask a lot...
thanks.. notworthy.gif


My pleasure dude, actually atp3 is not a high-end, it's a very good speaker with a low budget.

So you are going to use your xa3001 + a set of 5.1 system??

I don't know how small is your room, but if you place big monster 5.1 such as s550, the surround is not gonna perform well.

Since you want a 5.1 system for the surround, and with a budget which is rm400+- (is that right?), R501 is the best I think, cause with that budget you don't have much option.

bro,can u explain a bit for m3500 vs r501(if u know)?i wish to know their pro and con...
Haha I can't help you this, I'm not a m3500 or r501 user.

But the link below might help you out smile.gif
R501

But if you do have extra budget for r501, why don't you just go for it? There must be some differences if the price is different, provided they both are products from Edifier, but you need to audit lah, to see which suits you the best.

hello all experts there, i'm currently using altec lansing MX5021, i planned to change to a new speakers.....

I'm staying @ hostel right now and the room is small so i think 2.1 is the only alternative..... i'm pure dumb when come to audio stuffs....
I listen to techno , emo chinese songs, R&B , and those famous songs like jay chou etc if u get wat i mean depending on my mood LOL....
my budjet is around 600-1k.....

Any recommendations from the experts here?? thanks alot
*
Since you can up to 1k, S730 (rm990+-) or AegoM (rm620+-) would be your option, but you said that you listen to techno, R&B, S730!!

Or just lower you budget, S530.

oh i dun use sound card =( the reason why i'm changing is because i'm bringing back my mx5021 to my hometown for my brother LOL..... amagad i didnt noe that ALL speakers nid SC... i tot only high-end speakers nid......

xD If you're getting S730D, it'll bring you a lot of trouble coz you're staying at hostel... Ur housemates and ur neighbours above, below and beside you will keep on visiting you  <---- LOL THIS IS COOL.... i didnt noe edifier is so good nowadays.... T.T coz i only use altec so far....

and if i get S70D, do u think  it's ok for a small room? i'm living in a twin sharing room, 2 beds, 2 wardrobes, 2 study table and some walkable space LOL.... [5-6m Wide and 7-8m Length somewhere around that i roughly calculate only...

btw..... so overall here experts recommend me getting a s730? so what soundcard should i buy? how much is the sound card? and for my mx5021 what soundcard should i nid for that? any recommendations? T.T

Since you used to own a mx5021, your roommate didn't complain about it??

Or you can get a s530 + a rm300-400 sound card hmm.gif

Haha yea, but to be honest, you need to pair the S730D with SC then only it'll sound good. S730D might not be the best but IMO if comparing with S530D, aego m, and MX5021, it's still the best among them.
*
Of course it's best among them, most expensive what tongue.gif

Regrading the room size, it matters more for 5.1 speaker, surround speaker totally can't perform well in a small room.

Since you study at KL, you can easily get one there what, don't need to buy online, speakers are heavy, so the postage fees will be heavy as well.

Hi,
I still looking for a good stereo speaker with very limited budget (<RM200). After reading some review, I up my budget to <RM250 for Edifier M3300 but unfortunately, there is no stock available at my place. So, my best next choice is V4121. However, after testing the speaker in various shops, I don't really like the sound.

My main purpose is for my working pc. I like to play some soft music such as instrumental, light rock, jazz and surely no music with heavy bass when doing my work. So, from the sound testing, V4121 is very bad at voice clarity. It can produce only acceptable sound when treble and bass set to more than 50%. When the bass at 50%, I don't like the booming sound. Now I back to zero, don't know which speaker is good for me.

Currently I have S5.1, 3-4 years ago edifier model. But I still like listening to music with this set of speakers. Even with my built in sound.

I saw that some forumer sell T20 at half the market price. It is a good speaker for music if compare to M3300?
*
Where are you?? Why can't find m3300? I think most small Edifier booth also carry it.

well u cannot experience real 5.1 with that way. get a soundcard (example of cheap one would be x-fi 5.1 surround usb, but i dont recommend it)

if u put in headphone, all sounds output in 5.1 will only be stereo.
you must use 5.1 capable soundcard to utilize the speaker properly.. hmm.gif

But the problem is he is using laptop.
