Halo, I have been read this thread until last month, but I din read this thread after that...
Because of my budget’s concern (400 or 600), most ppl recommend Edifier C3/S530 to me (last time I use SB Audigy+Altec Lansing ACS45.1 since 2002)... firstly i plan to get Altec Lansing again(MX5051) in sri comp, but he staff recommend C3 to me coz he said AL is not a good choice compared to last time..

I think in tis thread, most ppl give decent comments on Edifier, but not so on AL.. So I choose edifier n test the speaker.. Maybe im too trust the comments given on lowyat.net(before december 2008 post) so I din manage to test the speaker in details.. at last I bought C3 with sb x-fi xtreme audio..

At 1st I test with my old speaker with de new soundcard n settings, it did give me good satisfaction (but I think because of the old speaker, it din produce the best sound).. but when I test with C3 with some settings, it din produce de “music” taste I wan when I listening to anime/Jpop music(most time I listening to Jpop) n de bass is slightly different from what I want(I have to admit im a perfectionist n im very vErY concern with the music’s details very much.. ).. It did produce good sound when I try with hard rock/disco/classical song..

I think maybe the problem is the subwoofer din give a “long throw” effect compare with my ACS45.1 n seems the satellites is build to mainly on sound clarity but not on bass(I have to admit Edifier c3 sound clarity is quite good with tis x-fi xtreme).. got a ppl mention that all edifier subwoofer is not strong in this thread, n I wonder will the problem happen again when I bought another Edifier(S530) or I should buy the Altec Lansing’s speaker that I admire for yearsss?@@ but desperate with the comments bout altec lansing, it is hard for me to make choice now. Last week, I jus bought the C3. Maybe I should burn-in the speaker for few days to make final judgment? Hmm

lol at last i end up testing at "all it hypermart", coz there is much more easier to test.. dat time they r playing rock music, n i try to test all speaker 1 by 1.. when i test a speaker, i lower most of de edifier's volume, but too bad la got other customer testing other speaker, so i din manage to test so well..

why i choose C3 dat time?
-maybe becoz it is easy for me to change its bass or triple n de sound on there is reli good, i got test S330 de bass sound reli hard.. it is more dumph dumph(but i din like dat kind of bass, it destroy overall song feeling esp for anime song/orchestra song, but tis is my taste la)... but i prefer booommm booom.. so i choose C3 coz it is not sounded like dat.. maybe becoz de place is very broad, so i din listen much dumph2 bass style from C3.. actuli i dun like dumph dumph dat kind of bass.. when i was testing mx5051, got ppl testing s530/s730.. so de result is those edifier "eat" mx5051 sound.. so i din manage to test mx5051 well.. after i reach house n test C3, i onli notice C3 also got dumph dumph dat kind of bass style.. or maybe all edifier subwoofer sounded like dat????
-de other reason should be dat C3 got EIDC(electronic intelligence distortion control) component in their amplifier, n they r not make jus for "look nice".. for me i can notice sound distortion even slightly coz those distortion make me feel not so good/strange feeling(i listen song depend on feeling lolx), n maybe i often go to orchestra concert so i can feel the sound distortion or w/o distortion, n C3 solve de sound distortion well when i playing de song in my "distortion music"list..

btw xk2 im quite hapi with u coz u found ur favorite speaker, but u sounded like u r happily promoting ur speaker lor, maybe becoz tis is love u have for ur speaker lolx.. but i still believe different ppl. different taste, different life style..

thanks for replying my post n told me bout those exception, well this saturday i will go lowyat test speaker again...

i have test AL MX5021/ EDI S330/S520/S730 thoroughly with my musics that i bought to test(320khz).. my confirmed choice will be MX5021.. i not prefer sound from Edifier, altho at high pitch it got clear sound and got the almost same bass style(tight, punchy bass) n i feel its tightness is very annoy for me sumtime coz i keep hear those "dumph" tight bass coming from woofer.. AL MX5021's bass is not same, it produce bass that wont disturb the music...

p/s: where to complain bad service in LYN? I got bad services from sum staff(wearing Edifier t-shirt at a shop @LYP).. they r like onli promoting on Edifier but when i testing AL they told me "dun disturb their sales".. of course i need to turn off all speaker n test a speaker with my friends that plan to buy speaker too.. when i testing edifier they din complain anything, but when AL, they complained! wat kind of services is this?
