edifier m3300!! but it has subwoofer... not very huge though, it's more on the tall side. only 200 plus.


Added on January 5, 2009, 4:14 pmor u can topup rm100, and buy edifier s2.1m, excellent reviews from users and experts. 9.5/10. but if u really dont want a subwoofer, buy a KLIPSCH Promedia Ultra only rm289 at cycom. i never have one, but it's surely better than vs4121 considering the price for a 2.0 setup.

the mp210 has dual power mode, normal or usb powered, great if u're always on the move. by the way, yes, that's the klipsch im talking about. the r1900 looks great too. but im not sure about the price. mp210 about rm 200. the mp300 about rm260, but has small tube like subwoofer. http://www.inter-asia.com.my/prd~images/e7...a7db19d1d9d.jpg
looks cool huh.


Added on January 6, 2009, 11:32 amif u want woofer without sacrificing space, the mp300 looks great, but i've never had one before so cannot comment on sound quality. but should be good. i think ur final choice should be between r1900 and klipsch.

klipsch review = http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,1775431,00.asp


Added on January 6, 2009, 11:36 amby the way, im just wondering, which one is better for easy listening music? r1900 or s330? which one reproduces sound more accurately?

@Hinika

Edifier MP300+ might suit your current work station

Not sure about r1900t3, might too big for you blush.gif  try looking on it
*
mp300 looks cool, but r1900t3 sounds better. so if u're concentrating on space and design, the mp300 series should be perfect, but if u're an audiophile, and u dont mind a 13kg pair of speakers on ur desk, then go for the r1900t3. cant wait to test it out tonite!!

already have the r1900t3!! sounds great even though fresh from the box! build quality also good! but a bit heavy and quite huge. and volume control at the back of speakers. but those are the only drawbacks.

or maybe r1900t3 like mine, since loud bass is not ur priority. the bass from the 2.0 r1900t3 is nice enough actually, quite bassy if u're not a hiphop or bassy disco songs fan.

how come so far no one recommends Creative speakers..?

are they good?

many reviews say they are good but mainly the high-end systems. the cheap ones arent. i only have creative earphone and mp3, and they sound brilliant enough. dunno much about speakers though, almost bought a creative inspire m4500 the other day.

Hello guys, hope to get all of urs advice, im planning to dump in rm400 in a 2.1speaker, try out a few of it in low yat plaza, but still stunning with klipsch gmx promedia. Here is my help i needed:

actually wht the different between Klipsch promedia 2.1 and Klipsch GMX A-2.1?

Any others recommendation speaker within that range, Thanks alot
*
i dont know the difference in terms of quality, but gmx looks cooler! love the chrome grills in front of the satellites! depending on what type of music u usually hear, the gmx is suitable if u want to shake ur house with the amazing bass. if u're gonna use the speaker for parties, or disco music, bassy stuff, go for the gmx. but if u're not, go for edifier s330 a.k.a. s2.1m. the bass doesnt distort the music like the gmx does. by the way, it's just my opinion, u should try out both speakers first before buying any.

ya i try the gmx already, and love the design very much. Really going to shake my condo unit who stay nearby with me haahhaahah. if got the cash 1.5k i sure go fr logitech z5500. Never mind about that logitech way too exp to get such speaker at current situation. so far fr the edifier s330 cant find it to test,do u know any place i can go n give it a try out? thanks again.! icon_rolleyes.gif
*
lots of shop at lowyat have the speaker, u can even go to inter-asia (edifier's distributor). it's also at lowyat. but im not sure which floor, but it's the higher floors, 3 or 4 something. the s330 looks pretty too, simple, black, glossy, pretty much a lasting design. some people complain the gmx's exposed satellites could be dangerous since it's easy to damage the cones. but i guess u'll just have to be careful. pick ur choice! if i have rm1.5k, i'd go for an expensive 2.1 or 2.0 system, i prefer quality instead of quantity wink.gif

Hi there all wanted to know what u all think about VS3251 and also where can i get it around KL? and also the prices? em.. is that 5.1 not suitable for music? or else? thanks i need an opinion on these set of altec lansing please thanks
*
rm379 at sri comp at lowyat. cant give u an opinion as i've never heard one myself. but i dont think u need a 5.1 for music. 2.0 or 2.1 setup will do. i mean, even if u go to a live concert, the singers are only in front of u right? they're not all around u. 5.1 maybe better for game and movies since u can feel the effect all around u. watch Cloverfield in 5.1 in full volume and u'll get what i mean! u feel like like the monster is just beside u! instead of buying an expensive 5.1, buy an expensive 2.0 or 2.1 and u'll probably get better sound quality for music. it's only my opinion anyway, so try asking the others for opinion too!

The T3s at RM598 it's a no brainer - buy it!

Well, there is simply no comparison between the T3 and the Aego. My only concern is if you buy the Aego, you'll live to regret it, once you've compared it to the T3.

i know it's cheap but i still cant afford a rm600 speaker... huhu... i got an idea, why dont u guys donate some cash to my account? rm10 each, 60 person will be rm600. muahahahaha!

if harga tak kesah, call up mr phil jones or mr mark levinson himself and ask him to make a speaker for u! that'll be the best 2.1 or 5.1 ever! even better, u can ask them to colaborate and work together. hehe. get an eidifier s2000 if have the cash, or a sonus faber, bose, ae, those expensive brands. if u have so much cash, mind giving me some for my gigaworks t3? hehe tongue.gif

Now t3 vs s530d.
Is there a great distinction? Which will u go for?

I am a bass head so i think (haven't listen to t3 before) s530d will perform better of cuz the price is also higher by a 100.
*
s530d's subwoofer looks bigger, but the t3 has 3 driver for the subwoofer, one forward, one left, one right. so im not sure.. but for bass, i think u should go for the s530d... if u're an oldies, jazz, or classic type, go for t3!

Yes! I'm using Aego M 3.1 setup. No regrets so far. But have to be sure of your budget. Aego M is not cheap, my Aego M cost nearly RM1.3k.

how come u bought it for rm1.3k? i thought people are selling at half that price.. shocking.gif

Aego M = SGD250
Mid Speaker Aego M Sattelite = SGD130
Atlas Interconnect Cables 1m = SGD150

SGD530 x 2.4 = RM1272, excluding custom made Mid-Speaker interconnect & 2 sattelite cables

ohh.. no wonder.. i thought the 3.1 was either a typo or u got urself a centre speaker.. hmm, the cables are really expensive huh at 1m... must be nice!
