The absence of a digital port in the unit is not a bummer either since this is a stereo system. There are 2 aux. ports as well and the small pod with the display looks killer.
More like the perfect MX5021 replacement. No clue about the availability in Indian retail chains yet. The SP2200 is retailing around the 5~6k mark IINM. If this unit is priced under 10k, this will be pure win.
Dang! From a DRAM module manufacturer to flash drives, high-end power supplies, water cooling units, computer chassis, SSDs, speakers, headphones, Corsair seems to get everything right in the first shot.
Altec Lansing MX5021 was in another league, after it no 2.1 were gud, couldn’t even came close to MX5021. But I would say almost all multimedia speakers after MX5021 were/are not gud in music reproduction. I can also say that multimedia speakers are not for music lovers/enthusiast. Go for the powered bookshelves like AE5 or above. If u want better yet low powered bookshelf than AE5 then get the Aktimate mini as it is much better than the AE5. Music lovers should choose Bookshelves/stand-mounts Active or Passive as per their convenience and budget.
The other option for a sub 15k budget speakers system is the T3 Gigaworks from Creative and i am not too happy with em. Steel drivers are good for metallic instrument sound only it seems. And def not beyond 60-70% volume level.
This is stricktly my opinion.
If i had the option of the Corsair SP2500, i would have taken them def. Only grudges seem to be the enormous woofer footprint, and the tack-ish looking control pod.
Take a leap of faith. I mean for how long u gonna hold urself back..?
Gotta be THE man here dood. I ll do my bit to help u out.. i m there for ya
Let me reach India first and then lets see what can be done .I have many plans on paper for a audio system but did not get green signal from finance minister :(.
The bass is on the heavier side, mids are ok. Brilliant highs though.
The best 2.1 PC speaker I have ever auditioned. Including MX5021. But this is my opinion.
Never expect multimedia PC speaker systems to be in the same league of a separate amp + speaker combo.
My humble Norge 1000 + Sony GN88D speakers can put the SP2500, MX5021,Z2300,MX6021 upside down any day in terms of performance & SQ. But this is for music only.
Yeah i know
Thats why i didn’t even bothered checking the local stores as i know all they will say is “bhaiya intex le lo dekho kitna accha bajta he corsair me kya rakha he”
The reviews for these are really good. Good sound quality with ground shaking bass. The sort of combination i really like
For me at-least, SP2500 is much better than MX5021. Not by leaps and bounds, but a good shift in the positive direction. And more power. SP2500 is the most powerful 2.1 PC speakers.
My MX5021 was one of the crappiest speakers I ever bought. First the buzzing sound in idle, man it made me climb onto the ceiling, then it got bust in 3 months time with no warning.
Went to the service center, only to find out this model is no more available and they have no spare parts. So, i opened the subwoofer myself, and found the ripple filter capacitors were blown. So much for the quality.
I have also seen the amp of my Logitech Z2300, and it uses much better quality components than MX5021. But sound quality is a completely different issue though.
