Klipsch Promedia GMX D 5.1 Speaker System is good? looks very promising for small room home theater.. saw someone selling RM800 for used set.

Not bad but a little bit too bright and metallic sounding.Harsh at times. Fatigue sets in quickly with extended listening..

Klipsch speaker so far is the most expensive speaker for PC so far. So i expect the sound should be great.

If u goint for value and a nice surround i recommended a Creative X-Fi soundcard and a Creative Inspire T7900 7.1 Speaker Roughly about RM1100+.

Make sure to get a nice sound card (Creative) if u wan maximize your speaker sound

Great for movies and music. Any questions I can answer?

both creative sound card and creative high end surround speaker can get at very cheap price in garage sales section,not only in LYN,other malaysia forum oso available.

Altec Lansing ?

to allornothing.. i see some ppl here complaining bout bose companion series wor about the midrange thingy. haiz...

harloo. user of AL vs4121, mx5021 and Edifier m3400, m3300 here ^^

here are my comments...

Altec Lansing Vs4121...hmm...this speaker, as many ppl say it sounds imbalanced. I bought it long time ago cuz it was one of the speakers that stand out BACK THEN. vs4121's bass is loose. loose means..lik the bass u hear in cinema. NOT heart-thumping every note(tight). Takan every bass note in the movie u wan your body to feel meh like in a concert...by the time exit cinema whole body numb numb edy

The woofer doesnt go as low as it claims (25hz). By the time 38hz it struggles and reaches its extension limit easily. The mid range is down firing(facing the table) so its subjective to the surface your table is...if glass it would sound harsh, if high quality wood it would sound warm, if low quality wood the midrange would sound very "tin-can"ish. Tweeters...well ntg much to say...it doesnt go that high lah. The major letdown of this speakers is the bass to midrange...not smooth at all. When soft the woofer is dominating the sound and when blasted loud the satellites distort leave the woofer behind by miles. The sound quality will really depend on the room enviroment too and will change on your listening position.

Altec Lansing Mx5021...hehe. Can smile edy not too much mx5021 well its THX certified so it generally sounds good but to me it could hav been better. The "presence" of the treble can get annoying. esp if u listen alot of rock,metal with alot of electric guitar or techno/rave music with alot of electronic sounds and ambient. If u're 3 or more meter frm the satellite its ok but if ure nearer it can get annoying after prolonged listening. For pop, rnb, rap the bass is very very well mannered but for techno the bass isnt tight enough for the oomph. However its perfect for movies. Placement of speaker and room enviroment is not so important cuz i think we can agree that all mx5021, if we stand 3 meters or more they tipically sound the same throughout the room. i think thts y it got THX certified

well...to me thts how they sound...just my 2 cents loh.

Is there any speaker which has at par or better performance than Creative Gigaworks 500 but at a lower price? (I refer RM500-550 as the price of G500).

theres another question here.

does 5.1speaker need a DAC to support?? possible or not??

i seen so many threads about 2.1speaker+DAC but not 5.1speaker+DAC..

hi i need advise here,i wanna buy a 2.1 pc speakers and budget is below rm400.Can anyone recommend me witch one is good?thank u.

hey pros.. 5.1speaker need to use external soundcard/DAC or not??

look no further than Klipsch ProMedia GMX 2.1 dude. Wouldn't say it's the best but for sure it is a great choice for the money. from wat i've known, a new set sellin at RM350 in pg (bet would b cheaper in kl) and this baby kick arse! useless to explain more, just walk into any pc outlet n try it out, let the powa do the talkin dude. n yes, i'm currently pairin 1 with my lappie for hd movies esp transformers n iron man.

I'm using a Z-4 now. For me, the Bass is too strong but overall watching movie or PS3 experience is really good. Looks futuristic too

sifus around help me abit

this bose c5 is meant to be a computer speaker that put very near you since u r going to sit near to your pc. how bout using it as movies/games on lcd tv?? since we r going to sit further from your tv and will the sound of this c5 be weakened??

haha hope u guys understand what im asking here..

The front speakers ...left, center, right speakers usually sound best when their tweeters...(treble driver) is elevated to the same height as the listeners ears...keeping the center speaker near the same height as the left and right speakers would help also...for movies the rear speakers usually sound best when positioned higher than the front speakers but for music it sounds better when positioned at the same level.

However if i've not mistakend the bose c5 is a 2.1 speaker delivering 5.1 sound with virtual surround...it is usually done by using head-related transfer function (HRTF) or relections of the wall (like a sound projecter) it's really hard to explain how those works but here is a link that will help alot - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_surround -

...its not necessary the sound will weaken but the surround effects will definately change. Experiment on listening position and speaker placements for the best effects ^^

LOL i donno wads mine actually but been using for few years

It has 2 big front , 2 rear , 1 center, 1 subwoofer , 1 amplifier which has Dolby surround pro logic

Looks like for Home theatre , but im using it with my pc all the time
