Low Yat Plaza has them, be it Edifier S530D, S730D, S550 you named it, except S750 xD They hv all of them there smile.gif. There's also Edifier Showroom at 4th floor, near the elevator there. All-IT hypermarket all hv them, also 4th floor, then Sri Computer at 3rd floor I think, also hv them, they hv Edifier and Logitech Z5500 as well, you can make ur choose the speakers you like smile.gif BTW, All-IT has altec lansing and aego m so it's the place that i suggest you to go thumbup.gif

Interesting... May I know how you what did you set the settings? Volume, Bass, Treble and SW? Because the Edifier S530D shouldn't be so lousy. Did you connect it with the soundcard?

Added on April 10, 2009, 7:16 pm
so u mean s530 bass is poor than the 5021?
*
I think that's incorrect. Edifier S730D bass is very strong, there's no doubt about it. I used to see some case where those people set the SW to 0 that's why they complain that the bass is weak sweat.gif I only set my SW(subwoofer BTW) to 6 with vol 25 and my landlord already start complaining, If set to 10 then God bless me tongue.gif You can come to my house and test it if you don't believe me rolleyes.gif Anyway, the price for Edifier S530D is Rm699 and for S730D is Rm999.

How is edifiers bass compared to Aego M? If not mistaken, aego shud be more musical, tight bass? I know this type bass not suited rnb, techno, etc... but shud be geng in instrumental and vocal.
*
Edifier bass is stronger than Aego m one. Both Aego m and Edifier are suitable for music actually. It's just that some ppl say that Aego m speaker is more suitable more jazz that type of music. Speaker thingy is kinda subjective. As for me, I prefer the sound signature of Edifier than Aego m. However, if you're going to use the Aego m speaker for movies, then it's a big nono.Edifier will be ur choice. That's the another reason i choose Edifier coz their speakers are balance in everything.

Perhaps because the shop one is totally burnt in alrdy?

I think you mean those speakers in the shop are not burn-in yet because once the speakers are fully burned-in for about 200 hours , they tend to perform better than those that're not in term of SQ and bass.

I think the Aego M is similar to hifi sound signature  brows.gif I am starting to move towards that type of sound since i got my hifi which is very musical.

But different ppl, different taste. I do agree tat using hifi lacks the oommp for my Crunk musics unless i add a sub into my hifi. I use my Z5500D for those musics. When i play Celine Dion or Celtic Woman, i use the hifi  rclxm9.gif

Since, you mention Aego lack the bass quantity, i dont think i will change my Z5500D, cause im running 2 speaker from my pc and there is so many cables  rclxub.gif My original thoughts was to sell off my Z5500D to get a smaller 2.1 for gaming and movie since im more into music and movie and gaming audio is not important to me.


Added on April 11, 2009, 9:58 amI am interested in this question by shinzhizhu also cause i never own edifier and never trust any series lower than S-Class... yet i never listen before these speaker except mx5021.

So, overall how the s730D bass actually?weak? is it tight and better than the 5021? and what is the price for the s530 and 730?
*
Yea, the Aego m bass is not very strong. Ur Logitech Z5500D is way better than aego m boss sweat.gif but I heard the logitech's subwoofer ventilation system is not good, they said it gets heat up quickly, is it true?

If you're looking for Edifier S-series, i would personally suggest you to consider only either S730D for 2.1 or S550 for 5.1 coz I don't think other edifier speakers can satisfy you since you're using Logitech now( I also wonder whether you'll like Edifier sound signature or not actually xD May be you should go for an audition for both of the speakers that i mentioned above). Edifier S730D bass is definitely not weak, it's very well controlled. How should I put into words... The bass is clean cut, It's like you can hear every subsequent beatings of the bass clearly doh.gif Haha, dunno how to describe. For me, I obviously think the Edifier bass is better than the Altec Lansing one, for at least I can listen to the musics for few hours continuously without hving the feel of getting migraine or irritated unlike Altec lansing one. Price for S530 is RM699 and S730 is Rm999.

My bro and friend keep attack me to buy it.... I wasnt too keen at first but love it now... The boss was demoing a ProAc speaker RM8k.... then he hook my speaker up.... wow.... it was better than the ProAc.

Actually, i was thinking to sell of my Z5500 to get the Diamond 9.1  drool.gif or just a 2.1 Altec or Edifier. Cause i am moving into 100% music now.

Is that Hi-Fi you guys are talking about? I dunno much about Hi-Fi, but my brother bought this er " JBL" i think speakers that costs around 8-10k but it sounds crappy xD May be it's cheap Hi-Fi.... Coz my uncle's one that costs around 200k sounds very gd damn freaking good but I dunno what brand is it sweat.gif

Funny,
Initially i was thinking of buying aego m as it receives a lot of compliments from forumer so i went to Plaza Low yat and tried to listen to both S730 and Aego m. I changed my mind after listening ,i found otu that i like the sound of Edifier than aego m. The reason is i heard those hissing sounds emitted by the Aego m speakers when i turn it louder sad.gif . i dunno whether it's the speaker damaged or what. but in the end, i purchased the Edifier speakers instead rclxm9.gif It still served me well until today icon_rolleyes.gif So my advice is, go and tried the performance, and u will noe whether aego m or edifier is ur cup of tea rolleyes.gif ~ 6 Dec 2008

Too bad i can't bombard my room with my Edifier S730 coz i'm staying at apartment, haha. Anyway, TS, if your budget allows, get S730, its great. Audio 8, Movies 9, Gaming 9 biggrin.gif I dunno how you guys define "bass". haha. but i feel that the bass of my Edifier S730 is already very strong when i only adjust it to +2 for satellite speakers, and +6 for the subwoofer. Too much of bass then all you can hear is Boom Boom Boom sounds, can't hear the instrumental sounds, singer voice is covered, i guess i had better off playing with fireworks instead tongue.gif ~ 13th Dec 2008

Yeah i agree with you, I went to Plaza LY for audition of AL MX5021, Aego m,Edifier S530D and Edifier S730. I turned all of the speakers volume down and listened to the AL MX5021 1st, for the few mins i feel it's okay but you can't listen to the MX5021 for very long. I personally feel that the bass is not balance, it's like it's totally covered the musics, all you hear is the bass produced, can't really enjoy the musics. Then i tried the aego m, the clarity of the satellite speakers are gd, yet it's lack of bass, and i can hear those "hissing" sounds emitted by the speakers when i turned the volume louder (may b due to broken speakers). The last one i tried is Edifier S530D and S730. S730's satellite speakers are more sharp in comparison with the S530D i would say, then i tried to compare MX5021 and Edifier S730, i was shocked that i can hear the huge diff in term of clarity of both of the speakers, for the Edifier S730, you can hear the lyrics clearly but for the MX5021 it's muddy, only the bass is gd( too loud for me though) ~ Dec 28 2008

You may go for Altec Lansing MX5021 if you're a basshead, but the clarity of the speaker ain't that good. If you're looking for greater clarity with medium bass, Aego m and Edifier S530D and S730 are delivering, though Edifier S730 exceeds ur budget, it costs Rm999. Edifier S530D wise is around Rm600++. Klipsch 2.1 is also within ur budget, you may want to put it into consideration as well.~ 22 March 2009

I've nvr heard of audioengine but I did know little bit bout Aego M. If you like classical/jazz those type of soft musics, Aego m will be the first that you should consider, For movies like those type of action and war, Altec Lansing MX5021 would fit in, but for musics, the clarity is not gd enuf, the bass has covered everything so basically all you hear is boom boom boom, I don't really like it because I can't enjoy the musics at all, hearing it for long time also causing irritation/headache. As for Klipsch GMX 2.1. I heard that the latest version is not as gd as the previous version, cutting cost problem. Anyway, I would also want to introduce another brand of speaker which i found to be pretty gd, which is Edifier S530(D). this speaker is balance for everything, regardless of moveis/musics/gaming. You might want to look for this speaker as well as it's within ur budget. Hope it helps. Happy researching.If your budget is around 1k. You may consider Edifier S730, more info on Edifier S730 see above xD ~ 30 March 2009

May missed out some, but this is what I think about Edifier S730D smile.gif

Yea, It's always better to test at home coz you can listen it slowly, furthermore, you get to pair it with soundcard as well smile.gif You'll notice quite huge diference before and after pairing with SC.

Haha, gd thing not cheap, cheap thing not gd is all i can say. No offence boss. NGBH is the lyn seller from Low Price Shop. They hv branches in SS2 and Subang Jaya SS15. Low Yat is still the best place for audition, they got almost every speakers there. may be you can audit both Logitech Z5500D and Edifier S550.
