M3300 SQ is quite not bad for music at the price RM230. if u can increase a bit your budget then try to get S2.1M RM399, really good SQ. the tweeter look like better quality one

yea.. what i can say is M3300 provide "adequate" bass for movie also, but if u want more deep bass and good SQ also there is no way to get such thing at this price range. positioning is very significant too, i saw most of the shop put M3300 at the rack hence, the bass can't reflect from a solid surface. that's why ppl test over there then conclude M3300 not enough bass. subwoofer need to be put on the floor then only feel the bass

i will take M3300 over VS4121 any time due to better satelite SQ and well controlled bass. but whether which one is nicer u should try it by yourself because my personal preference might different with your preference, same to others.

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.

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.

i think u better don't get creative although the sound quality is good, go to their forum u will know the number of returning S750 and G500 set to Creative for repair. most of them just dead after use 2 month only. this is the example of user review, although they give very high score on the sound quality part => http://www.pcworld.com/product/userreviews...serreviews.html

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

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?
