Greetings  smile.gif

I'm thinking of purchasing the THX speaker, don't really mind if its 2.1 or 5.1, and prefer the black color.
Anyone can recommend me a good model?
About the budget, I prefer as cheap as possible  tongue.gif

Thanks for the guide  smile.gif

im not living in the same area with you for sure.
but im sure these "babies" are available in some big multimedia shops.
even sometimes,, shops who sells ipod accessories also sold JBL spyro and JBL spots.

about the Creature and Encounter, these are "not-new" products, hence to find not so easy.
but apart from other two Spot and Spyro, these Creature and Encounter easily found in big computer shops instead.
my suggestion, ask people from the same area with you about local computer shops.
cause i believe, finding "basic" JBL products is not hard nowadays... even imo it's easier than sonic gear...

Good luck rclxms.gif

Guys, i wanna enquire whether are Creative speakers good? blush.gif

According to my cousin, creative speakers are cheaper in s'pore. Is that true?

If that is true, i am considering the following speakers....
I-Trigue 200 (SGD$ 49.00)
SBS Vivid 60 (SGD$ 35.00)
I-Trigue 2300 (SGD$ 79.00)
SBS A300 (SGD$ 49.00)
Inspire M2600 (SGD$ 59.00)

Which one do u guys think its worth paying for? My max budget is SGD$ 80.00. If any of u have other brand opinion, what other brand of speakers do u recommend??

Gaming/movie need boomy bass and surround effect.
Music doesnt, it only requires stereo and accurate bass.

no offence, but u certainly are the 1st one i have seen in lyn using "damn clear" to describe VS4121  laugh.gif

no doubts, i have tested too many times on VS4121, fren's unit and lowyat plaza also. my fren's unit is the 1st batch oh, heard that altec speaker always the best at 1st batch, the later batch will start cut cost on material.  i have the same feeling with walabies, don't you feel the way of VS4121 sound like taking a cloth cover the speaker? have u notice the mid-range driver are facing the table? such a design how to sound clear? u can try let the speaker satelite lie down let the mid range facing u then u will find it actually sounds better than normal... lolz  this is solely the satelite problem, the subwoofer part if u compare it with atp3 u will find that atp3 have more accurate bass, VS4121 bass is somehow overwhelming the mid and high frequency sound hence it sounds blur in general, unless u turn the bass off then it may clearer but how can we stick with speaker that no bass?  biggrin.gif

rclxms.gif rclxms.gif rclxms.gif Hard to find somebody in this forum who has same opinion as me...I totally agree with ur point...no matter how u adjust and tune the equalizer, the mid range wouldn't give u what u want...if u let the midrange facing u, u will get ready to become deaf, because the mid high(like electronic guitar) will make ur ear very paintful...

my recommended:
RM150-250: Altec Lansing ATP3....Eacan A200...
RM250-350: Eacan A-600II--look very similar to Altec Lansing MX5021,especially the subwoofer unit...50W??sound good...
RM500-600: Altec Lansing MX5021, 90W(of course, i am using currently)...low hum bass at 40hz-60hz, satellite need some equalizer tuning(don't worry, the midrange and high is still under user control)...

not recommended:
logitech Z2300...same price as MX5021, 2X powerful than MX5021, but no midrange sound at all....
altec lansing VS4121...totally unbalance sound....
Sonic gear blue thunder 3....BT2 better than BT3...

all units above are all in 2.1 configuration, if ur currently used speaker is in the "not recommended" list, please don't feel angry, because is only my tested opinion, if u feel good, thats all right, please don't shoot me.....




Added on August 14, 2007, 2:31 amHere i share my limited experience with reader seems like many user are look so serious about the bass response when choosing speaker....buyer always trusted the Spec listed by the speaker manufacturer, especially the bass response, many speaker in the price range from RM200-RM400 claim that the bass response as low as 30 or 35hz...but actually not...go to download sony sound forge 8 or 9 (if no money, just cxxxk it only) from www.sonymediasoftware.com and generate the sine wave from 30-100hz to test ur speaker, u will exactly know ur speaker bass response...here i give rough idea who had listen to those speaker before... Altec VS4121 and ATP3 strong bass response from 60hz-100hz, below 55hz silent dramatically...Altec MX5021 bass response strong at 40-65hz, 30hz-40hz still can hear it, exactly the spec claimed...others test urself if interested...u also can save those sine wave as MP3 or other format and put inside ur MP3 player (good quality MP3 player is needed, bcos ayam brand player almost cut off frequency lower than 60hz), so u can test the speaker bass response at the PC shop before u buy...recommended test frequency are 30Hz,35Hz,40Hz,45Hz,50Hz,60Hz,70Hz,80Hz until 100Hz...so if u find that this opinion is totally useless after u read it, just ignore it, and please don't shoot me... thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

for the sinnewave. edifier have a program called sound generator too.
no need to use mp3 from different frequency, just open the software and enter the desired frequency level. software very small hence convenient.

for the JBL encounter price, usually near the Soundsticks II price.
about 180USD - 200USD.
