i am looking for 2.0 speakers because want to save space, I saw T20 and T40 from creative are they any good ?

I am new in this speaker2 stuff, can anyone recomend a 2.0 speaker ?

It seems alot ppl prefer edifier these day. Isit creative and altec lansing brand not good already?

Edifier is not bad, lower range creative and altec not so good these days... and i think at the end of the day its margin..

Edifier prob gives much better spread and margin to retailers / sales people..

The price also nearby a Edifier 2.0 bookshelf speaker but this more reasonable than creative T20
R1900TIII is the choice, better than T20 and cheaper..

I finally cannot stand the sound of the BT3 and give it away already...

T20 and T40 consider is mid end speaker, Creative speaker can perform well if you have tune it by sound card or equalizer. I had a Inspire 2400 2.1 I still love this speaker so much.

While, I suggest you go test the speaker 'gao gao' at until you satisfy and differentiate which speaker is suitable to you just you decide to buy speaker because different people has different needs.

Anyone know where I can get a set of Swans M-200 speaker? Any dealer or distributor for it? Thanks.

So if my budget around rm 300++ i should go for edifier? creative? or altec?

Audition those speaker....
Then decide later, sometimes ppl say this good but in ur own opinion will be different than others...

Hmm. I plan to buy on pc fair.. but u know la pcfair, at that place got ALOT speaker there and macam perang speaker there. Quite difficult to listen and differentiate which 1 is better.

talking about r1900t3 , do i just plug it direct to the soundcard or do i like need to amp it first ?

sorry , never used bookshelves before

Ya, inside the hall there must a lot of speaker waiting for explode so how you going to test which speaker thats really meet your requirement?!
The best is you go to computer shop.

Btw for 2.1 speaker, normal soundcard will do right? Coz my DP35DP intel mobo with sigmatel soundcard cant work properly on my current 4.1 speaker. Only left and right working, rear speaker not working. But test in the program got sound, when watching movie, songs and games no sound...

just plug direct to the soundcard, this speaker got internal amp...
Most bookshelf speaker dont have built in amp..

1st the place so noisy how u really can test! go lowyat also can test without noise
2nd Pcfair actually wasting time you be pushing with people to buy something maybe same price or cheaper rm 2-10. I dont think its worth it
3rd If need warranty you need find where are their shop
4th Waste time waste petrol
5th If to chap lui then worth it

i hv a sonic gear bt3 and a altec lansing vs4121.

sonice gear bt3 - DONT EVER BUY, it sucks after 1 year. the wire got cacated need twist and hold it at the position then only can work normally.

altec vs4121 - got it a few days back. DAMN IT bought wrong speaker d. but nvm bought d so wat to do, the sound quality is NICE and GENG. actually,I wanted to add a double bass and 2 extra speaker. but realise tht cannot put, cuz they use different wiring. (i tot all speakers wiring are the same)

Haha, i know pc fair wont cheap too much. But juz the feel that when u buy item in pc fair u feel more satisfy or something like that. Like got atmosphere to shop for pc item like that. Lolz.

Buy at PC Fair or shop both also has its advantage and disadvantage. Lets say, you buy Altec Lansing speaker at PC Fair with cheapest price. After that you found that your speaker has problem need to RMA, where you should take to RMA?! Normally the seller at PC Fair they suggest you take to any shop that sell Altec speaker and the shop may charge you shipping fees. If you buy a shop, you can direct send your speaker to them without paying any shipping fee but the price may expensive than PC Fair price.

oh , right ....

sweet , thanks man . gotta get one of those to replace my decade old speakers

Ya...but for Edifier I dont think this will be the prob...just send to their showroom...
some prefer get it during pc fair...
somemore, most speaker wont easily spoil wan..
