Hey there!

I'm looking for a 2.1 speakers for listening to music. My budget range is between RM300 to RM400. Looking for clarity and great bass; a speaker that don't just "wommmm" but "POMMM!!" during low frequency and don't distort while able to deliver high frequency sound without stressing the speakers. Currently target Edifier S2.1. Does anyone think it is a great choice?

Does anyone know how heavy is the speakers? (there should be a label at the box that states it) If the speakers is light enough, then maybe I can bring it around like a portable for dancing, entertainment, etc.

Thanks in advance!

xk2, thanks for encouragement. Is the clarity good?

Nismo91, C3 ar... Little bit weird with the external amplifier. Hehe. That's why I preferred S2.1M. =D


Does anyone think that S2.1M is worth the price?

By the way, does anyone know the price of S2.1M currently (and in pc fair)?

@siowchabour:
well, amplifier is used to drive passive speaker. ur S2.1M already have an amp, but its inside the subwoofer box. if u're not using computer then get a DAC. having double amplifier to drive a speaker can kill it within seconds.

har? Aiks... So what should i do to make my mp3 player louder? Hook it up to a mixer (big and expensive T.T)?
Is there anything that can act like an amplifier for my mp3 player to speakers?

btw, whats a DAC?

hi all,

i am looking for a 2.1 speakers and currently struggling in picking this, shortlisted Altec and Edifier as below
- VS4121
- Edifier M3300
- Edifier E3300

which wil be your ultimate pick?
*
M3300 is gud in bass and treble at the same time... vs4121 quite bassy (not solid though)... From the list given, I would definitely pick M3300... Unless you looking for design, then E3300... or looking for just-bass only, then vs4121...

hello experts,

my name is siva.

i have a budget of say rm500 tgo rm600.
i'm looking for a 2.1 but i wouldn't mind a 5.1.

i am an old guy and not into gaming at all.

all i want to do is listen to music on my pc.

i like to listen to my music loud but that is secondary to the fidelity of the sound meaning can i get the full sound range.

my mis manager says he swears by edifier.
cnet says buy logitech z-2300.
some other people say altec's mx-5021 or fx-6021

i have no clue.
all i want is a high fidelity speaker system on which can play loud (very loud) classical music if i want and also play avril's girlfriend loud.

please help.
budget can be adjusted slightly higher if needed.

thank you.
*
Either Edifier's s530d, s2.1M or Aego M... These speakers are balanced in treble, mid range, and bass. =D

in sg, u can try challenger @ funan to listen to some speakers.
or simlim sq - alphawave 6th floor. and one shop in 5th floor in front of escalator. they have plenty of speakers to try...
*
cool! thx biggrin.gif

btw, can anyone recommend me a speaker below sgd100 (rm250)? I wanted to get edifier's M3300 SF, but so hard to find (although I havent check out sin lim and funan yet).

Any other models or recommendations? Strictly 2.1 dat has good bass. For music purposes. (will be carrying it around my uni's campus for dance practices tongue.gif )

u wan 2.1 with meanest subwoofer then get VS4121. also its subwoofer is damn light, u can bring around easily. most probably vs4121 sub is only with particle board. its around 110SGD, but if u can bargain im sure u can get it for $100.
*
Heyz there! Thx for the recommendations, but I felt dat vs4121 is too bassy... besides, the speakers easily get distorted at loud volume.

Is there any speakers can produce good bass (not necessary bassy, but i like solid bass, like edifier's M3300 or M2300 or creative's T3 =P), and also durable and loud (using laptop as the player, the music can fill the room the size of 5mx5m)? budget can increase to sgd150 (roughly rm307.5). =P

lol VS4121 sound is terrible. heard one clothes shop using it, can only hear boom from a distance.

how about edifier S330? its only about $129 in simlim if u are in sg.
*
I have a S330 bak in msia, but I believe S330's bass is not quite strong. It is designed to play music beautifully and accurately. And besides, very scared to play it loud volume, cos takut the cute tweeter will blow up. =P

Neways, thx for recommendation. biggrin.gif

M2300 and M3300's bass is great, but most shops in sg out of stock. T.T
