imo, logitech produce good sounds.
but the price is not proportionate to the sound that it gives.. that's all.

if the price is cheaper, perhaps it'd be a good choice.
(hard cause Logitech is a known brand today)

just my 2 cents.

yes.. just like 'BOSE' and other branded, well known/established products

Wou man.......I'm spamming? maybe...
I really not a audiophile, this forum allow audiophile replying only isit? Sorry lo taiko
I didnt spam, 5.1 compare to a 2.1.....totally different for movie...
a 2.1 cannot plays the sound effect of a 5.1....I never audition bose speaker b4 but I pretty sure it will lose in movie nt in music....about the sound? I have no idea...but in music bose compare to Aegom...which one better?

yah..strongly agree with ur comment....same with my thinking...

Bro, from your post, guess that you had listened to both the Bose Companion 3 Series 2, and obviosly your dad's sony + 5.1 speakers as well. Since u said it was orgasmic to listen to Bose, did u get that feeling when you are listening to your dad's sony + 5.1 speakers?

Just as jazzy939 said, almost none of us heard your dad's speaker system, so it's very hard for us to comment anything about it. Again the same saying, sound is subjective. Therefore, trust your ear (after all, the speaker will serve your ears ) and get the one that suits your need

Hi all,

I need ! I'm looking for a 2.1 speaker, and the numerous options are giving me a headache
I want it mainly for music. I listen to all genres, from orchestral scores which require good treble, to hip hop and techno with pounding bass.
I also want it to give good sound for movies, especially those Star Wars type action flicks
No gaming though.

The brands i'm considering are Altec Lansing, Edifier and Sonic Gear. Any recommendations? I know its important to test the speakers with my own ears and choose what i like, but its difficult to do so when there are a dozen other speaker models blaring different tunes in the same shop. Edifier is the only brand i've been able to properly test, and i like the M3300. Does this model have any problems/weaknesses?

I'd also like for the subwoofer to be of a reasonable size as my room is quite small. The AL models i've seen have HUGE subwoofers.

My budget is maximum RM250 (but I might consider a more expensive model if you can prove the speaker is worth it )

Thanks for the help folks

M3300 is good but I think will lack a bit of bass....if you like it that means it suit you....for some people M3300 is lack of bass..for me is ngam ngam....clarity is there also...

Just bought myself a Logitech X-530...
Sounds good to me even when I'm using onboard sound... I think will soon upgrade to Audigy...
X-530 seems good to me when watching movie and playing games... But when it comes down to listening music(I listen to classic), I felt it's too bassy...
Hope this helps

logitech z-2300...a 2.1 THX supported speaker....im just loving it....
it cost me around RM550 but its the quality that matters..

I do still recommend you to survey at the shop 1st before making ur final decision.If u go to lowyat,just find thundermatch 5th floor,ALL IT Hypermarket or Sri Computer to test it.About the tune all come out issue,u just turn off d volume of dall speaker and open d one u like to listen,by that u can listen 1 by 1 for d variety of speaker. And with side by side comparing, u can easily get d best sound performance that suites you need.Altec,Edifier or Sonic Gear are all well,AL is more to clarity, and Sonic Gear is more to bass.

for me, its depends on the size of your room. let says you are living in a small room, 2.1 is enough already. However, if you want 2.1, you should be looking for a good one such as logitech Z series. if you have bigger room, then buy 5.1 or home theater. hahahaha

Like me....My room quite small....I like a home theater inside the room
More syok la....Actually Z series is more on movie,gaming...bass more loud than other logitech series...

take out my very old.. amp spoiled Cambridge Soundwork 4.1 speaker.. plug the satellite to my unsatisfied BT3 Sub.. wakakkakaa... it sound much better than the Original BT3 Satellite..

it is only wt 1 x 3" driver compare to BT3 satellite.... it have much more higher mid high and sound more nature compare to the Ori BT3 plastic sound... although the cambridge using plastic compare to the BT3.. wood...

anyway.. it tend to have lower high..tweeter sound.. but this is pretty normal since it only have 1 driver...

Added on September 15, 2007, 9:43 pmBut of course.. 1 driver are good for nearfield application like computer spaeker.. since we sit so near to the PC... compare to the BT3 3 drivers....

Is it possible the volatage of your old speaker may not suit to BT3 speaker?
I means the BT3 sub may cant provide the enough voltage to your old speaker

hahahahaha....

both of the satellite are passive.. all the amp for computer speaker are in the sub.. what u worry friend??

what u have to worry the the Impedance of the speaker.. u worry.. just use an impedance meter to measure the speaker impedance will do..

most of the time.. computer speaker.. u get 4 ohms or some time lower.. slightly higher may the case sometime.. but very less chance la...


the only concern of different impedance is when u attached too low impedance speaker to the amp.. u may blow the amp provided u really blast it la... some more.. my old satellite cannot be low as 2 ohms or 1 ohms la.. if it is 1 ohms. I throw it to the dushbin now..

---

Added on September 15, 2007, 10:05 pmBeside.. for ur knowladge.. if u loop speaker.. the impedance will go lower .. say.. u have 2 4ohms spaeker .. then u loop it.. .. 1 amp output.. go to 2 speaker.. it impedance will become 2ohms...

very simple parallel Resistor logic... looping 2 speaker just the same like parallel 2 resistor..

this will bring harm to ur amp becoz it drain more power from ur amp...

Oh, thanks for the lecture

So my ancient Logitech Z-540 4.1 speakers just died, so I need to go and get a new set of speakers. Since no one seems to sell 4.1 anymore, I've decided to drop to 2.1's instead (PC & Xbox360 are both in my bedroom, and can't really expand into a 5.1 anyway).

So I'm looking for a really good pair of 2.1 speakers. Primary is gonna be watching video's & gaming (PC & Xbox 360 will be hooked to it, Xbox is thru my PC Monitor as well). It must also be dependable. My Z-540's lasted the better part of 4 years, so I'd like them to last.

I want to say that cost is no object (the constraint is more physical space in my room), but I don't wanna be too silly about it. Let's say I think it's ridiculous to go beyond RM700 for a 2.1 set. Though mind you, if it's really good I'll probably be able to convince myself.

Right now I'm looking at:

Altec Lansing FX 6021
I-Trigue L3800
Logitech Z-2300

One other thing that I'm looking for is easy availability. All three models above are easily available in LowYat.

So, what do you guys recommend? Is there any other 2.1's that I should listen to. I know nuts about Klipsch and the other brands, so recommendations welcome.

that edifier mp300 looks so cute and small. it's mobile but is the subwoofer strong enough?

MX5021 is not in your list ??

Ya, why MX5021 not in your list
FX6021 is not suit to play game but major in listen song
Z-2300 with THX certified, for gaming and movie.
MX5021 with THX certified, also for gaming and movie.
Klipsch GMX ProMedia 2.1, for gaming and movie too.

If Z-2300, MX5021 and GMX Promedia is suitable for gaming.
But if you're bass head, you may go for Z-2300.

Just my 2 cent
