I think my M3400's wired controller is gonna spoil soon, there is some cracking and hissing sound when i turn the volume knob.

Does Edifier sell replacement knobs for M3400?

1.5 years +- ?

Hey can you help me check is there m3400 replacement volume controller?

Which one? Showroom@ lowyat or HQ@ Kepong?

going to PC fair soon, what is the BEST edifier speaker below rm300?

give me 3 choices
for me its

HCS > M3300 > ???

NO, not normal. Suggest you rma that set immediately lor...

It would probably make some obvious improvements. Did you position your speaker correctly? Try put the woofer at the corner wall, on the floor. Try search google.com on "how to position speaker" or "how to position woofer"

In general,
Never put a subwoofer on a table
Never put a subwoofer in the center between 2 walls

WRONG
Left Wall (corner) |--------------------------woofer----------------------- | Right wall (corner)

Those sound cards you mentioned are great cards, almost top end for normal PC consumer grade sound cards (non recording purpose).

So yeah, you can go ahead get any one of them, no problem.

Alternatively you can get Audiotrak Prodigy HD2 (2.1 channel only) for music playback, it's about the same level with the Asus card's, but much cheaper, and it lets you change the opamps used on the card, just like the Asus(s). Basically it's 3 opamps, and you can replace these 3 small little chips with others, which can give you better sound and it enables tune the sound to your liking ; ) but i have to warn you, once you start playing with opamp upgrade/sound customization, you cant probably stop anytime soon ;p

I'm seeing a rise of Edifiers having problem nowadays in LYN, is it just me or .....

X-Fi Extreme Music is selling at garage sales music and audio section for rm180...that's the best you can get for low budget.

Dont get audigy or the SB Live series, wont make much of a difference

Bright: High-frequency emphasis. Harmonics are strong relative to fundamentals.

Agreed, S330 is bright and slightly muddy. The location of the woofer and material around the woofer (wooden floor, wooden table etc) will determine it's sound, muddy or tight or thick or low. The problem is there is no treble control for the satellites, so you cant really "match" the sats and woofer when the bass is too boomy or light etc...

Went audition kao kao di, planning to get one of them soon ; )

Yeap, but i'm no bass head, i like quality bass just enough to support the music ; ) treble control would make it better if you wanna match the tone of the sats with the woofer, and the woofer's sound and tone is always affected by it's surrounding material... so yeah a treb control would be nice. Sometimes i find the s330 has very boomy bass on Shop A, then in Shop B it sounds solid and full etc ( my own source, i do play with the settings )... so yeah that's just my concern if i get it. How would it be in my room? hmm... it's interesting to hear how different it sounds from environment to environment, then you can see the material around and position of the speakers and try to analyze why does it sound like that. LOL. call me a freak

Considering the C3 also... both are good speakers, but need to think and predict carefully which would sound the best in the room ; )

yeah very true, but they are still really good speakers when compared around the same price range ; )

i usually set mine to 2 or 3mm pass half-knob. my room & table somehow makes the low bass resonate a lot... if i increase it more, pening kepala

Bigger is better than smaller, when it's big it can deliver more when you want it. But if you start with small, that is that and it cant be pushed further...

How does the R2000 compare with R1600?
