That means BT3 better than Atp3...but I that there compare side by side I also hear Atp3 better but dont know why I get this feeling that Atp3 turn on loudly will bad than BT3 in loud comparison...maybe this is not true...but can you compare this two loudly and tell me which better...

Between ATP3 and BT3, BT3 is better. I had tested this 2 speakers. ATP3 satellite cant produce the clear and better human voice as BT3. You better go to Lowyat test in your own coz diff ppl has diff taste and needs

Oh yeah, one more thing, I have a Sony STR-K840P amp together with the 5.1 speakers which my dad is willing to give me. Is this better than the Bose Companion 3 Series 2 speakers?

You cant compare 2.1 speaker with 5.1 speaker. But Bose Companion 5 integrate a virtual 5.1 surround technology, may be you can have a test of Companion 5 whistling.gif whistling.gif

Is it possible the volatage of your old speaker may not suit to BT3 speaker?
I means the BT3 sub may cant provide the enough voltage to your old speaker rclxub.gif

So my ancient Logitech Z-540 4.1 speakers just died, so I need to go and get a new set of speakers. Since no one seems to sell 4.1 anymore, I've decided to drop to 2.1's instead (PC & Xbox360 are both in my bedroom, and can't really expand into a 5.1 anyway).

So I'm looking for a really good pair of 2.1 speakers. Primary is gonna be watching video's & gaming (PC & Xbox 360 will be hooked to it, Xbox is thru my PC Monitor as well). It must also be dependable. My Z-540's lasted the better part of 4 years, so I'd like them to last.

I want to say that cost is no object (the constraint is more physical space in my room), but I don't wanna be too silly about it. Let's say I think it's ridiculous to go beyond RM700 for a 2.1 set. Though mind you, if it's really good I'll probably be able to convince myself.

Right now I'm looking at:

Altec Lansing FX 6021
I-Trigue L3800
Logitech Z-2300

One other thing that I'm looking for is easy availability. All three models above are easily available in LowYat.

So, what do you guys recommend? Is there any other 2.1's that I should listen to. I know nuts about Klipsch and the other brands, so recommendations welcome.
*
Ya, why MX5021 not in your list laugh.gif laugh.gif
FX6021 is not suit to play game but major in listen song
Z-2300 with THX certified, for gaming and movie.
MX5021 with THX certified, also for gaming and movie.
Klipsch GMX ProMedia 2.1, for gaming and movie too.

If Z-2300, MX5021 and GMX Promedia is suitable for gaming.
But if you're bass head, you may go for Z-2300.

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.

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.

Your budget hard to get a nice 5.1 speaker that meet your requirement, but your budget can get a very good 2.1 speaker with THX certified that can meet you want.
Klipsch ProMedia GMX-A , Altec Lansing MX5021 or Logitech Z2300.
