I'm hoping bros here can recommend me a 2.1 speaker? This will be almost 100% for metal/rock music and using as an amp for guitaring. I'll be plugging this from lappy.

I have a smallish-medium sized room, with paper thin walls (can hear ppl fart from the living room). And I listen to heavy metal (Metallica, Bullet for my valentine, trivium, inflames type). I'm looking for smooth/controlled bass, preferably not floorshaking type.

I'm currently considering Audioengine A2 (very good weight), Aego M (I have heard they're not suitable for complicated songs like metal?) , Edifier M3300, Edifier C3, Edifier S330D.

I recommend the Edifier M1310 or newer version of it, or Altec 121i.
Evo3 sucks big time. the small 4 inch woofer and incompetent bandpass woofer construction sounds terrible.

Hello all, was wondering If you guys could recommend me a good 5.1 speaker around RM500? I'm more of a gaming/music kaki guy. Any help is much appreciated. I was thinking of getting the Logitech X-540 or one of those Creative 5.1 speakers but don't know if they're bang for the buck tongue.gif

hello experts,

my name is siva.

i have a budget of say rm500 tgo rm600.
i'm looking for a 2.1 but i wouldn't mind a 5.1.

i am an old guy and not into gaming at all.

all i want to do is listen to music on my pc.

i like to listen to my music loud but that is secondary to the fidelity of the sound meaning can i get the full sound range.

my mis manager says he swears by edifier.
cnet says buy logitech z-2300.
some other people say altec's mx-5021 or fx-6021

i have no clue.
all i want is a high fidelity speaker system on which can play loud (very loud) classical music if i want and also play avril's girlfriend loud.

please help.
budget can be adjusted slightly higher if needed.

thank you.

@ siva
I recommend Edifier S530D, AEGO M, or Altec MX5021. FX6021 not bad but its too bright.

@eRock
i'd think majority would prefer M3300. just like me. E3300 only design nice. use external power adapter, and so-so sound. Better get M3300 or M3300SF.
M3300SF still not yet avail but coming soon they said.

@siowchabour:

well, amplifier is used to drive passive speaker. ur S2.1M already have an amp, but its inside the subwoofer box. if u're not using computer then get a DAC. having double amplifier to drive a speaker can kill it within seconds.
