Hi all~!
I have a friend who wants to buy a new set of 2.1 speakers.
Price range is probably around RM350.
Any recommendations? smile.gif

He noticed an Edifier S2.1M model.
How is the performance for the model and any other competitors to this model and price range?
Mostly will be used for music and movies.
And if the speakers had a front headphone jack that would be a plus. laugh.gif

Thanks~!

If you are looking for RM250 range, I think not much choice lo.
For gaming and movie purposes, Altec Lansing's VS4121 should be okay.
But if you use it to listen to songs, the 1st thing u will notice is that this set of speakers is missing the whole "mid-range" sounds because of its dumb down firing design for its mid-range speakers.
And the bass is definitely over-powered. After using it for more than a year, I never tweaked the bass level pass 1/4. Unless like some of the other forumers here say, you wanna make life hell for your neighbours brows.gif

Like most other people's advice, go check out the sound of the system b4 buying.
Let your ears decide. nod.gif

And about the CNET recommendation, I think the Logitech Z-2300 is way out of your price range.
Judging by the conversion rate from US$ to RM, that speaker should cost around 600~800 in Malaysia.

Errr....no reviews..... blink.gif
The old Promedia got merely a 79% from CNET.
Saying it is overpriced and not as good as the Logitech Z-2300.
How this new GMX model?
Still the same as the old one? hmm.gif

Hi guys~!
Just a simple question.
Is the S2.1M the same as the S330?
Are they the same model?
Or are there any difference? hmm.gif
