Hehe, yeah that's truly a let down for creative's speaker.. because some fo them they are using the BASH amp and it produces a lot of heat.. or maybe it's because of the electricity that blow the cap.. but actually the problem isn't that serious too..
We have some sifu here to repair them too bcos normally it's bcos of the blown cap, if some channel doesn't produce any sound, it's 90% caused by the loosen cable inside the amp (they have cables for every channel to connect to the amp). Just open it, and tighten the cable, or fix their position by some UHU gum or what.. But still, not many ppl are willing to open up the amp unit as it's a bit risky (void warranty? im not sure hehe).. Anyway, it's still a let down point  |

Choose Logitech Z5300....if you prefer G500, you also can buy it...if the speaker sub spoilt maybe you can ask pc work...

QUOTE(DotA 5.84C -AR @ Jul 8 2007, 01:40 PM) a good sounding 2.0 usually is bookshelf size speakers, but it usually advised to put it on speaker stand because of two reason: the side is bigger thus it might take space in your table and the woofer in 2.0 is responsible to produce the bass so u need to put on speaker stand for better sq and wider separation. a good 2.0 is never need a sub woofer to do the bass job, they even can have better bass than those with sub woofer. i doubt the 1900t3 will suit since those sets r monsters but some ppl might not prefer on this way, they want something smaller side speaker. hence, satellite speaker come in. satellite speakers are small enough to fit in your table but it is too small, not able do the job in bass, so it need a sub woofer to assist in the bass part, this is the idea of 2.1. so 2.1 u was eying on M3300, for 2.0 u can have a look on R1900T3. for me i always prefer 2.0 for music(except aego m  ), 5.1 for movie.recommend to get klipsh 2.0 or creatives 2.0 prices 399+- no sure bout creative one but the klipsh ones r not bad |

Without a soundcard it's like putting a cloth in front of a speaker, do you understand how it will sound like? A sound card will improve it but then, M3300 is still clearer. I have to agree VS4121 is for trance music and movies, not for musics. |
