I got my Aego (not M) back then from MikeChai for approx RM600+ (can't recall exactly). I suppose 2 x Aego (M or otherwise) will cost RM1.3K. It has served me well...
Added on February 5, 2009, 12:11 amI am now auditioning my Edifier MP300+ compared to the Bose Soundock (1st Gen) which probably retails for > RM1K in the comfort of a 5-star hotel room I'm in.
The Edifiers present a more open soundstage. The mids are certainly forward and not recessed, flanked by sweet highs that are clear, not harsh. Vocals are clear, instruments distinct and a plesant tonal balance.
Bass from the 2" aluminium tube, while present, is definitely limited in extension. However, it is sufficient, and certainly works well in unison to the sats. There is sufficient bass - just don't expect booming deep bass. Overall, impressive bass from this 2" tube.
Judging from the sitting distance in the hotel room (it is sufficiently damped with a thick carpet and drapes), I am pleased to report distinct and solid imaging from the Edifiers. Ramping up the volume shows the quality of components used. It reached a ludicrious level before I decided it was enough (I don't want the hotel manager knocking on my door), yet maintaning a balanced output from the bass tube and the sats. Not harsh or distorted. Impressive.
The Bose seems louder at first, on further listening tracks from Sissel and Dave Koz, I realize there is limited high frequency extension. The imaging isn't as wide as the Edifiers, namely because the two drivers on the Bose are closer than the max spread of the sats on the MP300+.
Bass, while seems stronger, isn't deep - there is more emphasis on the 60-100Hz band, playing tracks with deep bass yields chuffing from the ports. It is obvious, the Soundock employs sound equalization & enchancement. Imaging, while decent, cannot compare to the Edifiers. But what is severely lacking is the high freq extension. That limits the overall tonal quality of the music played. Sounds like something is amiss.
The mid range isn't as pronounced as the Edifiers. I relinquished listening to the Bose after a few tracks - much preferring the clear well portrayed mids/highs from the Edifiers to the Bose.
Not bad for a RM250 speaker.
reading to your post, i think it should be slightly better than the former MP300. i had no idea how is it compared to a Bose Sounddock, i only compared it to a JBL OnTour and Astone Versa 200. i still prefer an MP300 rather than an OnTour. i guess i really need to audition an MP300+ while possible.
hye there guys. I'm planning on buying a 5.1 multimedia speaker, but I can't exactly choose one since I'm such a noob in choosing speakers. My budget is from 300 - 500. For your info, I'll be using the Asus P6T deluxe's on board sound card.
Most of my friend ask me to go for Edifier r501 (RM399), but I'm kinda interested with Logitech G51 though it's way out of my budget with a current price worth RM650.
So can you guys suggest me one that better for me (a metal; speed metal to be exact and rock songs fan). The quality of the bass sound will be the major factor for me. I'll be also using this speaker for gaming purposes (COD and FAR CRY 2).
Any series from any brand will be excepted as long as it is certified by you guys. Thanx
u can also try a Creative G500.
