mp300 looks cool, but r1900t3 sounds better. so if u're concentrating on space and design, the mp300 series should be perfect, but if u're an audiophile, and u dont mind a 13kg pair of speakers on ur desk, then go for the r1900t3. cant wait to test it out tonite!!

I recommend the Creative Gigaworks T3 2.1 system.

Am using it currently - I replaced my Acoustic Energy Aego system with the Creative and the improvement is very noticeable esp in the Bass dept. The SLAM sub module is awesome - to say the least.

Have a read at this reviews:

Of course the Edifier S330 is a good buy too, but the Creative betters the Edifier in the bass dept. In terms of mid/highs, I'd say the Creative is very close - some songs sound better on the Creative.

RM660 VS RM400, two different price range speaker...anyway, maybe you are the 1st in audiophile section here who use Creative T3 (as far as i know)...maybe you can open a new thread to elaborate more and probably some picture.

Well, I agree there is a significant price difference between the Creative Gigaworks T3 and the Edifier S330/S2.1M, but if you are looking for a more 'compact' size and better bass definition, the T3 would be a better buy.

I have all three - the AE Aego, Edifier S330/S2.1M and the T3s. I use them for different setups: The Aegos were previously hooked up to my notebook, which I have now replaced with the T3s. The Edifiers are connected to my desktop.

I am not saying the Aegos are short on definition, but where they lack (seriously), is in the bass dept. The T3's SLAM sub is far more compact and although my desk where my notebook resides on isn't near a wall, the bass from the T3 sub makes a whole lot of difference. I find the bass from the T3's sub tighter than the Edifier's and certainly the integration between the sub and sats are seemless. A couple of friends kept thinking the T3s Sats were producing such prodigious bass when they heard the system! The T3's bass is punchy without being overblown, and the system is capable of some serious volume without going into distortion. This obviously shows the quality of the components used. I like the bass to be forceful and sufficiently deep, with minimal boominess (to some extent, zero boominess isn't entirely possible on such systems), and the T3s shine in this regard.

And the full range driver is as Creative claims, of audiophile quality, indeed. The angle of the T3's Sats is just right to my ear height whereas the Edifier would need to be slightly angled to produce the best soundstage. The Aego's angle is too much on my table. With the T3's Sats, I am able to hear ample detail and vocals are reproduced pretty accurately. Imaging is very good (surprisingly), detail is excellent, mid range clear and forward, when you sit further away from the setup. Going a bit closer (near field), it's coherent, not overblown, and unfatiguing.

To my judgement, it can go pretty high on the frequency spectrum. There is no high freq "washout". Impressive. The Edifiers sound a little "brighter" with certain kinds of music. With the T3s, I can listen for a long time without ear fatigue.

The T3s shine with various jazz, vocal and piano tracks from Eric Marienthal, Dave Koz, Sissel and Jim Brickman (which were used in my test setup). Movies were handled with aplomb, with clear dialogue and excellent dynamics. The SLAM sub clearly revealed its presence when called for. Outstanding.

Please don't compare the T3s to a separate hi-fi system, and that is not the purpose. However, compared to a similiar product, the Bose Companion 3, the Bose sounds compressed, weak, highly processed sound, overblown and shallow bass, to say the least. This was an actual demo by Creative, not made up by me.

I like the volume knob - silky smooth and when you switch it off, a nice soft relay clicks the sub off without any harsh speaker feedback - the Edifier is good in this respect too, but the silky smooth turn action (which permits fine adjustment) of the T3s knob wins.

I think the reviews speak for themselves. I auditioned the T3s for quite a while before deciding on it. It's worth the price. I used to dislike creative and vowed never to buy their product(s) but this changed my mind (on some of their products). Bottom line, I'd place my money where it's worth.

Audition the T3s next to the Edifiers or the Aego M and you will find a new winner...

already have the r1900t3!! sounds great even though fresh from the box! build quality also good! but a bit heavy and quite huge. and volume control at the back of speakers. but those are the only drawbacks.

For a small room set up, normally what type of 2.1 speakers would anyone recommend? Mostly watching movies, and music

Initially I thought of the Klipsch GMX, went over and tested it in Ikano; very impressive sound but overly strong. Standing 2 feet away I can feel the bass shaking at only 40% volume. I had 2nd thoughts when i want to put that monster in my room.

Then i tried the C3, very clear sound compared to the GMX but seriously lack in bass. Couldn't really feel the bass despite the size of that sub-woofer.

any one have a good recommendation. I do not want to wake up everyone with walls shaking at night. Something that I can really utilize.

edifier s330 a.k.a. s2.1m? looks pretty too!

Try the Edifier S330,strongly recomend for u ,try not to choose C3 if u have the budget that on par with S330's price.

or maybe r1900t3 like mine, since loud bass is not ur priority. the bass from the 2.0 r1900t3 is nice enough actually, quite bassy if u're not a hiphop or bassy disco songs fan.

Is the Klipsch promedia 2.1 avail in Malaysia yet? How much isit?

how come so far no one recommends Creative speakers..?

are they good?

many reviews say they are good but mainly the high-end systems. the cheap ones arent. i only have creative earphone and mp3, and they sound brilliant enough. dunno much about speakers though, almost bought a creative inspire m4500 the other day.

I think you only able to found Klipsch GMX A-2.1 in Malaysia.

Hello guys, hope to get all of urs advice, im planning to dump in rm400 in a 2.1speaker, try out a few of it in low yat plaza, but still stunning with klipsch gmx promedia. Here is my help i needed:

actually wht the different between Klipsch promedia 2.1 and Klipsch GMX A-2.1?

Any others recommendation speaker within that range, Thanks alot

I would like a 2.1 system with good and tight punchy bass. Personally like Edifier's S730 and S530d. They both are good but too pricey.

Below that level is S330. But i need something that can personalize its treble like c3's amplifier can tweak the treble. So wonder can S330 perform good in treble.

i dont know the difference in terms of quality, but gmx looks cooler! love the chrome grills in front of the satellites! depending on what type of music u usually hear, the gmx is suitable if u want to shake ur house with the amazing bass. if u're gonna use the speaker for parties, or disco music, bassy stuff, go for the gmx. but if u're not, go for edifier s330 a.k.a. s2.1m. the bass doesnt distort the music like the gmx does. by the way, it's just my opinion, u should try out both speakers first before buying any.

ya i try the gmx already, and love the design very much. Really going to shake my condo unit who stay nearby with me haahhaahah. if got the cash 1.5k i sure go fr logitech z5500. Never mind about that logitech way too exp to get such speaker at current situation. so far fr the edifier s330 cant find it to test,do u know any place i can go n give it a try out? thanks again.!

lots of shop at lowyat have the speaker, u can even go to inter-asia (edifier's distributor). it's also at lowyat. but im not sure which floor, but it's the higher floors, 3 or 4 something. the s330 looks pretty too, simple, black, glossy, pretty much a lasting design. some people complain the gmx's exposed satellites could be dangerous since it's easy to damage the cones. but i guess u'll just have to be careful. pick ur choice! if i have rm1.5k, i'd go for an expensive 2.1 or 2.0 system, i prefer quality instead of quantity

Anyone got any comments on the Razer Mako? or the Bose Companion 3? Planning of getting something for multi-purpose use (music, movies and games).

Was considering an Aego M and Ibasso D2 setup but i think it is more suitable for music.

Do recommend if there are better options. Wouldn't want to regret spending this much.

u got another options from creative, the new Gigaworks T3 2.1.
