I saw this speaker system with an i-Pod dock included, very nice and very expensive!

I couldn't really listen to it.. but by the looks of it you can tell its not an ordinary set of speakers! :lol: or is it only the crust? I don't know! :lol:

some say its the worlds best speakers..
and most of the models are handmade ones..
our office conference room had a 5.1 system..
i cant tell how i felt the sound..
you have to hear it..

Hmm..really? Actually when you go into these shops its very hard to concentrate on one set of speakers, because some other buyer will always try different speakers in the same place!

hehe..
in here its different..
most of the high end sound shops..
are rarely visited by the customers..
so if you are lucky..
you can get a demo of each and every....
speaker system in the shop without a problem..
:P

    Hey fallenzeraphine can u remember the inspire 2500 2.1? How solid it was......N now look at the M2600.....Only some style......
    I bought a M5300 over a Inspire 5200...Now i regret it.......

    yes chanster that is a very cool sub (inspire 2500) it had a very very balanced sub and Satelites (u cant tell where the sub is by listening to the bass, cause the maximum frequency of the subwoofer is blend perfectly with the minimum frequency of the satelites ie the Crossover is almost perfect) and it had some very baddass loudness i loved that sub it was just awesome for its price...the newer subs are just plain crap specialy the i-trigue series, we have a few i-Trigue 3200's @ the office and they are horrible (considering they worth about 10K each) and distorts sound like hell...yes chanster M2600 is just a pile of bull crap..its a utter waste of money nobody should buy it..

    better to build your own sub ban...
    use a car sub system if you can..
    thats the cheapest way to do it..

    u sure cant build a sub for 5000 RS, and if u cant spend more than 5000 u should consider buying a 2.1 sub for arround 3500 there are lot of them there and..im sorry to say they dont produce enough bass..so if u can find another 1k somehow and get a Altec Lansing ATP3..that would be ur best buy

    this is my mx5021...

    yeah, because you end up in jail i guess :P

    wondering if i should upgrade my speakers too. they are almost 5 years old. no idea how they compare against these new stuff. it's a labtec pulse 424 btw. maybe a pile of crap...who knows? i don't have people who have proper speakers near me anyway....so i'll just think mine are OK. but i need a new "something" :D

    ayyo its simple ban..
    just buy a cheap 2.1... (around1500)
    buy a at least a 6" double magnet woofer.. (normally around 1000)
    make a box for that.. (another 1000)
    buy a matching amp for your speaker.. (max 2000)
    :P
    what i was did to my second pc's speakers is...
    just removed the small 4" sub and replace it a new 6" sub..
    and make box like the original 4" one had..
    total cost was around 4k in those days..
    :)

    Whats your price range?
    you asking me? i don't have a price range. i might not buy one at all. remember i'm using onboard sounds. also, i want to know how my current speakers compare with these good ones you mentioned. (like, utter crap, crap, it might not sound much different if you are not an audiophile, it is ok, it is good enough, it is good, it is great....like wise :P)

    depending on them, i will decide if i need a new set of speakers...

    and, also i'm not supposed to turn up the audio high...even 50% of this will drive my mom crazy and will mumble curses for the whole day :lol: (that was exaggerated, but you get the point)

    maybe i would be better off with a highend (sub USD50) headphones. :)

    labtec pulse 424 is actually a quite good product..its subwoofer has a 8 inch driver right...but its amp only have 35watts so the sound pressure level might not be good, any way if ur willing to upgrade whats ur price range

    labtec pulse 424 is not bad......compared to the creative ones like M2600 its fairly good.......But a thing like ATP3...wel thats another story.....thought u were happy with onboard sound........
