how u knw its way better then all others? unless u hav used it all...dun simply said ITS BETTER THEN OTHER

Haha, bro Kino I thought of the same when I first heard acoustics songs on Aego M. Acoustic is Aego M's specialty indeed.

But my playlist consist alot of Metal songs with the likes of August Burns Red, As I lay Dying, Children of Bodom, Underoath, At the gates, between the buried and me, Incarnation and many more. Aego M changed my prespective in listening to Metal songs.

The satellites produced a sharp sound, the treble part especially the Hi Hat sounds more crispier, it's not piercing like many multimedia speakers out there. The bass is not either soft or blur because I can hear the double bass clearer and the integration between the satellites and the subwoofer is the best part in this speaker, I just love to hear the combination of both. Vocals are more upfront and It's more organized. Alot of Metal heads won't agree with me but like I said, it changed my perspective of listening to Metal songs.

I wanna start this post by saying that I'm not and audiophile and I'm sorry if I didn't use the correct terms.

@bro kino
It's not your fault though when you think I'm saying something that I don't know. Actually I do know a bit about those speakers and those genres you're talking about. I didn't test all the speakers at shops, I simply borrowed them from my friends. My previous neighbor own that Klipsch and it's a great speaker but it didn't impress me, I borrowed it like for like 2 weeks and I played all kinda of songs that I like, I have to admit it sounds better than others when it comes to metal songs but like I said it doesn't have that integration between the satellites and the sub. It's like both were doing their job without caring much about the combination of the sound produced. The speaker was meant for bass heads with loud and piercing sound and I hate it. It's a love or hate speaker.

The same thing goes with Edifier S530D but with a decent satellites. Again klipsch is a winner if you think loud and piercing is nice for metal. Edifier brought something different to the table which made me favored them last time. S530D satellites were not piercing most of the time but shame when they didn't produce a more punchier sub. Klipsch and edifier are good for movies and games especially edifier. A lot more speakers like vs4121, atp3, creative SB series (but never got the chance to try the Gigaworks though), Sonic Gear(I'll buy this brand only if a guy point a gun to my head and force me to buy one), Logitech z5500(freaking awesome for movies, of course I have to take a couple of hours to complete the speaker placement), Logitech x230 (boleh la, haha~) and EP II (my 1st speaker, I love it though it's crappy )

What I really like is separation. I love to listen to a song and be able to separate the drum from the guitars if you know what I mean. Don't want it to be messy plus I'm not a fan of cloudy bass which will drown every other sound. Why do you think I always mention the satellites-sub integration part? Aego M answered my question of why and when to use the double bass in a song.

In my book, your idea is wrong when you said metal songs doesn't need clarity. Clarity is important, many confused with this clarity part when they think adding more clarity will make the song sound too noisy. Take that piercing sound off and replace it with crispier produced sound and I bet you'll feel less tiring listening to metal songs.
For example between the drum rolls, some drummer will hit the cymbals (which the bass drum will come together uniformly) before they shift to the toms and they'll do the same before shifting to the next tom and surprisingly with Aego M the sound didn't messed up between the rolls. (one of my speaker testing method) I can even tell you that the hit on cymbals are slightly uneven for it has such clarity and not clouded by bass and that piercing guitar riffs.

It's about perspective and it's subjective and even if I'm different, I'm not feeling the pressure cause I love it this way. hehe~

//Hurm.. Funny, for me I don't label any bands as culprits. As long as they produced a good material for me to hear, I'm happy and when they don't I'll search for other that can satisfy me. //

I did critic it (aego M) badly once, I even went as far as to say it's a gay speaker (dunno why I said that, hahaha)

I have the uttermost respect for you bro Kino but I hope you to understand that I just wanna point out my opinion, no hard feelings

Shifting it to level 3 will only make it worse since the bass will be more clouded, that's one the drawbacks of Aego M, if you prefer punchier bass, please seek for other alternatives. Hehe, like bro clawhammer, I have the Aego M and the Klipsch at the same time and I still think that Aego M edged in most of the songs but in movies and games the difference is clear - Klipsch is the true winner.

Actually we're different not in terms of listening music, nor in terms of which speakers we bought, we actually have different principles in accepting something (or anything), because I was once heading to that direction - being passionate about metal songs, being arrogant about my knowledge and belief, making all sorts of thing that gonna make me noticed in the local metal scene and many more. But luckily I'm also a passionate musician though I'm not that good at drums and guitars, but I still can play most of the songs I've listen to. I prefer drums, that's when it made all the difference. Songs with awesome drumming always catches my attention. Metalcore have such bands that catches my attention for time being. Back then I love Melodic Death Metal but then as the years pass by I really didn't care for that genre, only good musicians with good material will be in my list.

Speaking of which, actually I abandoned the option to know about the root for any music genre. I'm seeing a bigger picture, different perspective from you. I love music and I prefer metal and one of my friend said one have to be true metalhead to truly understand the metal songs but I answered, what if I just want to listen to a material that made me happy? What if I just wanna listen to the talents that have some knowledge that i can learn from? What if I'm just listening because I wanted to listen to it? Do you catch my drift?

I emphasized on clarity solely for the instruments, sorry misinterpreted that line .

I think it's good to agree to disagree, any more of this off topic discussion will only make us look bad.

Again, I hope you understand I'm not guiding you in how to listen to metal songs, I'm just pointing out the difference. I'm sorry if I did that again and again, just that I came across old timers like you a lot, and I like to share rather than create a flame between us. Well at least I gain something from your post so thanks for the knowledge.

Jamo is nice, seen once but the price tag, adoyai~ hahahahaha...
