Currently im looking for a speaker around the RM200-300 so these are my choices.
Generally im a song (general) and movies guy

Choices:

Sonic Gear (Armaggeddon 5)
Eddifier (m3300)
Eddifier (m2300)
Altec (VS2421) - new model
Altec (ATP3)
- i heard the new ones(ATP3) in the market is not as good as the older
ones sold last time - need this verified
Would appreciate very much if forumers can help me in choosing/ rating
or recommend me an alternative

what i used and like before was vs4121 then now i switch to z-5500D.

usually low end speakers have that issue. How much u pay is what u get?

Maybe he test at the edifier showroom and no sound u go back u test on your your audio got also useless right. If u need a high end thing to use a low end thing means more spending $$$.

If a low end works on any low end device means the speaker have good build in technology

what i suggest you do is get a mp3 song 1 with 64kbps bit rate another 192 k bps bit rate take your CD and test on their system there.

Our taste and your taste might not be the same. Like me i use optical for my audio it sound clearer and sharper compare to traditional cable.

Hmm. I plan to buy on pc fair.. but u know la pcfair, at that place  got ALOT speaker there and macam perang speaker there. Quite difficult to listen and differentiate which 1 is better.
*
1st the place so noisy how u really can test! go lowyat also can test without noise
2nd Pcfair actually wasting time you be pushing with people to buy something maybe same price or cheaper rm 2-10. I dont think its worth it
3rd If need warranty you need find where are their shop
4th Waste time waste petrol
5th If to chap lui then worth it

First of all, your monitor's mini jack is stereo analogue output, not digital output(SPDIF) that support multichannel sound, connect through this output to get surround is absolutely impossible.(from the spec, i didn't see any SPDIF terminal from your monitor, so i assume it is just analogue output, please read the manual carefully)

You got two options

1.Get the PC speaker that support digital optical connection.
2. forget about PC speaker, buy AV receiver and home theater system speaker.

i am using logitech z-5500D it support both coaxial and optical input + analog cable

Hey guyz, Im juz wanna ask for recommendation for good speakers(5.1) and hopefully a sound card too for my new gaming rig. I recently finish farcry2, overall the experience was fine except for the audio as I couldn't pin point where are shots coming from and i can barely hear what are the characters are saying which i had to rely on the subtitles; it's as if some1 turn down the volume on the in game voice speech.

purpose of my use is obviously for gaming, music listening and movies. My budget would be anything below RM1k.

Thx in advance. icon_question.gif

BTW, if it helps i'm currently using an onboard sound card and a really old(5~6 years) altec-lansing 2.1 speakers.

consider a 5.1 maybe a z-5500D

i'm not sure, i dont own any 5:1 before, the cable i use for my PC speaker is the green jack one.

what is the maximum that the red and black support? does it has any length limitation like our LAN cable for our modem that only support up to 100m
*
u can buy the cable from outside shop it can really go very long.

High end speakers do not only use green jack. It comes with Black for rear i think then orange for front then green for direct audio. Then like me i use optical out for movies and surround sound.

I recommend if u have the budget go for z-5500D logitech + Xonar d2x u wont regret it.
