Hello there, I have some question for you guys.

I need to find a decent 2.1 Speaker that is mostly WHITE.

My budget is arround RM 300.

Its really hard to find white products nowadays sweat.gif

Really appreciate your comments. If possible state the shop that sell the speaker as well. Second hand items also will be considered. Thanks  notworthy.gif

im not living in the same area with you for sure.
but im sure these "babies" are available in some big multimedia shops.
even sometimes,, shops who sells ipod accessories also sold JBL spyro and JBL spots.

about the Creature and Encounter, these are "not-new" products, hence to find not so easy.
but apart from other two Spot and Spyro, these Creature and Encounter easily found in big computer shops instead.
my suggestion, ask people from the same area with you about local computer shops.
cause i believe, finding "basic" JBL products is not hard nowadays... even imo it's easier than sonic gear...

Good luck rclxms.gif

for the sinnewave. edifier have a program called sound generator too.
no need to use mp3 from different frequency, just open the software and enter the desired frequency level. software very small hence convenient.

for the JBL encounter price, usually near the Soundsticks II price.
about 180USD - 200USD.

i don't really choose M3300 for gaming.
the ATP3 might perform better if it's used for gaming.

anyway M3400 might be preffered upon M3300 if used for gaming.
generally (incl. me) if i want a speaker for gaming, i found the speaker which produce most loosen bass like BT2/3 or Vs4121. but as im listening to music more, M3300 would be better.

but some people want to have both clarity and bass boost. so both can be achieved, but not on M3300 for sure, although its clarity really impressive on 200 tag.

yeah im another M3300 supporter for 200 pricetag.
although it doesnt sounds boomy (as for gaming and movie)
but the bass is tight and the clarity is excellent.

when watching movie. however, loose bass is important, but i rather have the clarity cause all the detail will be spoken up.

better try out yourself, diff individual diff taste... smile.gif

laugh.gif i got try that few time before...
however what im combining is mostly 2.1 and 2.1
2.1 and 2.0 one time only..
but now im stick to single 2.1 config laugh.gif

@ 2pac.
may i know why don't consider a 2.1?
i mean, more -better- 2.1 can be found rather than 2.0
on that price range imo...


Added on September 6, 2007, 8:18 pmcan.
one put to front config and another jack put into rear jack...
is it?

it depends.
original 4.1 is always better if compared to "mix-and-match"
2.1 and 2.0 or whatsoever. it's because single 4.1 is manufactured to be like that. which means all is balanced.

unless, you're comparing 100$4.1 and 1000$2.1 (differ case alredy)

what 2.1 are you using now if i may know?

hmmm...
to be honest, must say that the better is save money till about 200.
i mean, ur Bt3 is around 200 right?
if you buy something below it, there's few chance for you to satisfy to the product...


anyway it's your choice... i may not know what suits you the best...
but returning to the topic, Rm100,
Altec 121i or Edifier M1310? how about it?

imo, logitech produce good sounds.
but the price is not proportionate to the sound that it gives.. that's all.

if the price is cheaper, perhaps it'd be a good choice.
(hard cause Logitech is a known brand today)

just my 2 cents.

that edifier mp300 looks so cute and small. it's mobile but is the subwoofer strong enough?

gotta believe that for portable range, it's one of the best speaker in its price...
sized only 2" and weigh for about 1kg. when i compare it to JBL onTour, mp300 seems to be slightly better...

i got both M3300 and MP300...
M3300 used in hometown while MP300 carry around everywhere if i need it....

of course, M3300 sounds better in all aspect instead of MP300...
but what i like from MP300 is that it has stylish carrying case which allow me to bring it everywhere easily... the design also looks much better than M3300. hmm.gif

that time i bought it at very close price, now i know that Mp300 is designed for portability and design while M3300 is sound quality. depends on your need, i think both products are one of the best in that price and class range.... biggrin.gif

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 (m3310)
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
Altec (

Would appreciate very much if forumers can help me in choosing/ rating
or recommend me an alternative
*
i don;t recommend M2300 and M3310 for Edifier.
get m3300 or M3400 instead...
for me, i like to listen to songs so i get a M3300 that time...

okay.
i read tru each and every posts and threads and i am really going crazy now.

im currently trying to look for a 2.1 system. but doesnt really know how to cuz this is the first time im getting a 2.1 system. my budget will be below rm200 (or above?)

but with a budget like that i dotn think i could get any of the recomandations models in here.

im into gaming and music. tried out m2300 yesterday and it actually peforms better than the atp3, atp3 distorts at high volume. but then again, read tru some post where someone actually doesnt recommend m2300.

i dont know. i really dont know.

really going crazy now. thanks
or should i get something around rm100? man i, am, crazy now

it's not correct to judge speaker by what people recommend....
but instead judge the speaker by your own ears....

1/2 year ago i was asking people about which speaker is the best for RM200.
tons of answers come out and i take a look at the characteristic that forumers mentioned.
it's relevant to the real life....

for example people said altec VS4121 have boomy bass while edifier M3300 is having sharp sounds.
(i was comparing all RM200 speaker listed here)
fortunately, when listening to both of them, i understand what fellow forumer speaks and in the end i ended up buying M3300 that day... months later, i have an opportunity to test some speaker that i want to test previously (but no chance cause no shops did that). luckily, i was very impressed by the M3300 cause all the speakers i'm comparing to are not as good as M3300 in my ear.

so finally, u see, i do not recommend buying speaker on what people say. but instead, listen to the speaker yourself... cause it's the best to avoid unsatisfactory. smile.gif

i think 20db is still normal... below it than its harder...
i mean, when i test the software to "speak" 20hz, still can hear very2 low frequency...
but then if 20000hz... i think its the one which is undoubtedly most ppl cant hear... i try on different speaker and i cant hear a single pitch! mine stop somewhere at 18khz i think... cause 17500 still can hear slight... dunno bout how u ppl... or maybe my speaker sucks,, and when i check this on the internet. "they" said average ppl also sucks at17000 and above, esp. when u grow older...

hi all, i got 1 thing to ask...THX certified is for...?
like example will FX6021 sound better than MX5021 which is THX certified ?
*
i like listening music rather than watching movie,
so i listened to both.
FX6021 is very clear (maybe cause it got lots of tweeter unit) and sharp.
superb for listening songs.
but., 5021 is better when it comes to movie i must admit, because the bass made have different feelings from 6021,
that make the boom suit the movie's needs...

THX certified is another certificate to boost speaker's sale...
cause ppl will thought got thx, will sound good.... hmm.gif
