my next speakers, if my sonic gear dies would be edifier or altec anyways

im a music listener, game yes but my game is just gun shots and shell explosions.. couldnt be that bad

thanks 4 the heads up

Hmm.... I think the "bass impact" is subjective to one's preference..

Some like (loud and) boomy type of bass which makes gaming sounds have impact at the slightest nuance... While others like deep solid bass (I call it the "thud" factor) which doesn't muddle the highs and mids and is more suitable for music and movies.

the problem is that most of the newbies don't care about the muddy bass, as long as it trembles your desk at loud volume will do.
they call it powerful speaker.

i agree with your Thud factor and im finding those speakers with this deep solid bass.. as im just music listener and watching movie only...

erm....i nt so agree with that...last pc fair...i went to edifier booth and altec lansing 1...two of them are almost same range product...although that edifier speaker spunned to max...but da sound like it hurting my ear
when i go to altec lansing speaker it has different sound as i heard

i mean wow so many speakers blasting together, u differenciate which sound good which sound no good ?

dude... we have to right to switch off other speaker just to listen one by one right?

close 1 ear and listen to 1 speaker

lol

If you looking to compare speakers and test them on the spot (ask the salesman to demo), then I suggest try ALL IT Hypermart and ThunderMatch (highest floor) at Low Yat. I don't recommend Sri Computers because its just too noisy there...

Anyway, that is how I picked the Edifier M3300 (and went overbudget) ... Originally I was looking at the (lower price) Sonic Gear Blue Thunder but was disappointed with its sound (especially the bass).

ya.. i dont like sonic gear's bass as they are a bit 'fake'

pcfair is not a good place to testing speaker, it is for bargain. All the player will tune the spk to the max.

for me~~~~edifier is the best n affordable

I'm using sonic gear blue thunder IIX and the sound was never failed me.
Astonishingly powerful, superb crispy clear.

It's depend on what type of speaker did you buy, price range RM150 and up are better choice. No matter what brand.
I also have used Altec lansing, and the quality of steady bass, even at slow volume is surprisingly astonishing.

i have never use edifier, but i would like to try ...

using sonic gear apocalypse
after 3 months use, amplifier goes kaput, dunno what happened

my fren lost the receipt some more

now using the two speakers with new amplifier

heard quality of both an altec lansing and sonic gear
altec lansing much better with high notes
kinda makes me mad, cos the sonic gear (my sonic gear, in this case...)
cos much more than altec lansing mid range product.

but of course, the pros of my sonic gear, one is that you can turn up the volume without the noise breaking
but still the sound produced not quite satisfying for an audiophile like me

You mean no sound at all from all the speakers? Is there any power indicator? Is that the one with the vacumm tube?

You mean the satellite speakers? What amplifier did you pair them with?

Next time... Test first before buying.

Depends on personal preference. Generally most audiophiles like (dull) flat sounds (natural sound), some like "bright" sounds (high notes), some like "impact" (strong bass) sounds.. while some like "colored" (strong mids, some frequency deviations) sounds. Not sure which one is your preference...

altec lansing VZ 4121 rocks!

all this 3 brands are big brand.. but for me test before u buy because not all people have same taste..

for me, 1. altec lansing, 2. edifier, 3. sonic gear

it is VS 4121 if i'm not mistaken.
have one before (VS 4121), great sound with great woofer.
wont regret it.

Add one more..
