sub RM200??
hmm got alot of competiting speaker around that pricetag...

i'd suggest ATP3., Edifier M3300, M3400 and even E3100....

since u don't want VS4121 cause it has no clarity, then try M33/400...
but fyi, i dont think Mseries have boom2 bass.
their bass is simple and tight.
so if u want to make it boomy., either use good soundcard., or nice decoding software to tweak it out...

but since sound is very subjective., lets hear what other LYN ppl say...
and of course., dont forget to listen to some speakers "live"... biggrin.gif

hmm then you should consider Edifier M3400, E3100,
Altec Lansing ATP3 or VS4121, and Sonic Gear BT3...

hi think for basshead, full gaming and earth-shaking,
AL VS4121 or SG BT3 will be the choice...

hmmm..
im not sure...
but under 200only atp3, vs4121, and bt3 will be the better choices.
i don't recommend getting Edifier (unless X600+ good soundcard) since majority of their product are not designed to produce heavy bass like others.

anyway. take a look at your soundcard also, or decoding software.
i have a set of very old Sony hi-fi that involves 2 6.5inch woofer.
at first the sound (from line-in) was terrible, especially the bass part. no point cranking it up until loud. the bass cant be felt...
then i changed my sound decoding software and set in lot of stuff such as LFE crossover and Bass boost. after that digitalmod, the speaker sounds much better, and it shake my room terribly until the mouse can move itself. well of course, if i get a new hi-fi with dual 6.5 inch it will pawn the 12-years old hi-fi i mentioned far far away. but rather than throwing it. i make use of it.

just plug in the "aux or line-in or video" input behind the hi-fi.
not all hifi has this, but fortunately mine has it although its 1996 production.
then the selection, between radio, cd, tape, i choose the line in menu.

i add bass-boost and increase LFE crossover (from ffdshows decoder)
then play P.Diddy & Nicole - Come to Me. try crank that loud
(until the limit), for me is the bass is like triple of Edifier M3300 bass'
laugh.gif laugh.gif

i wonder how the big subs in clubs cranked to limit playing that song. doh.gif

i'd strongly encourage you to get M3300 especially if u are not into dance or techno songs.... i have it and it sounds sweet at its price. but sometimes i dun feel it has good bass to tune techno songs...

nono... no techno songs for me!
i heard a lot of ppl suggesting m3300 as well! juz thinking of asking more first before summarize.

so no other model suggested by any other???

what about sonic gear? i never own any of this brand speaker... are they good?
*
yes its good speaker if u dun want techno...
but do u listen to songs that has deep bass?
such as hip-hop or jazz...
if u did and u really concern about the bass, please listen to Edifier E3100 too.
the bass is smoother (lower)

but if adjusted from computer M3300 can also produce smooth bass. even better than E3100
its just matter of taste... for non-bass part, i have no complain about M3300...
(although u may need to know that new M3300SF is coming...)
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/388274/+1600

nvm though, i like the SF too, but it'll probably come out long time from now... im not in the waiting list...
speakers are important for my ear... tongue.gif

oh.. that sf is a beauty! haha... i havent see them in the shop yet.
I went to shop today and i found out that the M3300 treble is bit high. N i knew there is no treble control so wonder if its just the song or the speaker itself.
I've listened to C2 also... found it to be quite good.

Now thinking between them M3300 n C2. Which one should i get?

Is C2 equally good in music?

* I dunno if it is the staff who play the music too loud or what... i find 3300 sound too sharp! the C2 sounded better with britney song playing...
But got few forumer said its an under perform speaker, not worth the price tag. I'm getting 239 for m3300 and 285 for C2
*
yes i also find it that M3300 sounds too sharp at first...
as i used to set the EQ to dance or techno usually... for other worse speaker,
the sound will be more crisp. but for M3300 normal EQ will be the best...

i once listen to C2. its not so good imo. some people also said that.
but as u know, sound is very2 subjective. cant really say that M3300 is the best.
but here we're just telling the "characteristic" of the speaker so that it may guide u b4 u buy...

imo, it's better for you to go to Edifier FanClub V3 to ask some pros about this...
there are comparison in previous pages that you could browse too.... smile.gif

Altec Lansing ATP3, or Edifier M3300 or Edifier E3100.
avoid Creative, and if possible, sub-200 logitech...
logitech done good only in their high-end products imo.

yeah E3100 is also very good. but it's not so easy to find it anymore...
laugh.gif just realized your profile picture to avoid VS4121. i dun have it but nearly bought it last year.

no...it just make annoying sound....the bass overwhelming, even a gently guitar string plucking and piano key pressing will humming and shake the room, completely unrealistic, the damn down firing midrange just make the vocal sound like idiot...hate hate hate vmad.gif

My course mate had one, everytime i go to his room i feel wanna destroy it, but unfortunately the speaker too solid, even brute force also can't destroy it.. sweat.gif

please do not attempt to do this to any VS4121 (like this moron below) although u hate it like hell laugh.gif
Destroying R501 1
Part 2

~edit = typo, R401 not R501 imo.

portable one? need battery or not?
if no then Edifier MP300 or MP210
if yes then MP230 or MP221.

Plz suggest me which shall i tk, my following option

s. gear evo7
s.gear enzo500
altec 2421
altec 1121
*
avoid Sonic Gear if possible. Altec is much better. 2421 is not bad choice. it has bigger driver than 1121. summore 2421 is from class 2. where 1121 is from class 1. so 2421 should be much better. and i've listened to 2421 and its not bad for that price.

Hello all.

wanna ask about whether any recommendation about 2.0 speaker <100?
it must not be so big..., because i need a speaker for other desktop which in a narrow room. (otherwise i've put my jobless M3300 already wink.gif ) so far i used to have genius Q06 and Q12 long time ago. but unfortunately since i like 2.1 i gave them free to my cousin.

so any recom? i saw logitech s150 quite good as well. but i prefer not usb powered one cause so far i know the sonic gear morro one is lousy (i tried in lan gaming place laugh.gif )

thanks in advance.

first of all, this need to be amended :
QUOTE
both 75volt RMS


no such thing as volt RMS. its Watt RMS. laugh.gif

basically both products are the same, BT3 vs A5. just different colour only.
u want blasting speaker i suggest get Altec ATP3, Edifier M2300 / M3300.
Altec VS4121 also can. but surely regret buying 4121 if u like to listen music. it only good at fps gaming imo.

not absolutely better. but in my point-of-view, i would prefer these instead of BT3 and A5. no doubt u need to audition those speakers yourself. see which one can suit u better... my taste wont be the same as yours,. smile.gif
