Razzd,can T3 win MX5021 in any ways?
Now I'm planning to get another 2.1 system and I'm interested in T3...while other people around me suggest MX5021 which is THX certified,but I think it did not equip any THX technology,right?

Is there any other 2.1 system can compare with T3 with its price and performance range?

S330 win over MX5021?!
The MX5021's satelites have 1 tweeter and 2 mid-range,right?what funtions for that?T3 only has a mid-range?

QUOTE(Razzd @ Feb 2 2009, 11:10 PM)
I'm not saying the Edifier S730 isn't good. It is. But ask yourself this, why would excellent audiophile grade speakers provide separate bass & treble controls?

what does that mean?separated control is not good?
and I notice that MX5021's remote has control for treble too...

~Sorry for asking noob questions as I am newbie and need advice,Thanks notworthy.gif ~

I have heard the MX5021 before, but not in direct comparison to the T3 or the S330/S2.1M.
I do admit the MX5021 sounds good, but fails to deliver as a audiophile speaker. It's more suited as a general PC replacement speaker. The bass while impressive, isn't tight. It feels a little missing in delivering a forward midrange. Treble while present, isn't focused, and at times, sound overly too bright.
It does not come close to the T3 in overall music quality. In fact, the Edifier S330 fares much better musically than the MX5021. For that kind of money, I'd buy the Edifiers anytime for RM295. Save the extra $$$ over the MX5021 & upgrade your sound card.
As you are aware, the MX5021 has poor signal-to-noise ratio approx S/N of 80db. You can almost certainly hear the "hiss" when nothing is playing & in quiet surroundings.
The T3s exhibit excellent S/N. You cannot hear any form of hiss even when you place your ear next to the driver & in quiet surroundings
At the end, have a listen before making your decision.

Razzd,how to check the speaker's S/N?
is it depend on soundcard?because I notice that soundcard's specification has S/N.

wow,thanks a lot Razzd notworthy.gif but still have lots of thing need ur help rclxms.gif
Speakers have its own S/N,and it also will affected by the input?I mean if a speaker has good S/N while the input-soundcard has bad S/N,then it will sounds "hiss" too?
Every speakers have its own amplifier?

agreed with xk2,Sonic Gear cant really provide the quality of sound because its product line is focus more on economical but not quality...if u have the budget why not u go for something that worth what u paid for...
