I went to the 2004 PC Show at Singapore Expo… and returned with a new set of speakers.
They are selling at a cost of $99. Aesthetically they are beauties. All but the projection portion of the boom box is wrapped up in dark wood, perhaps like the shade of teak. The controls are mounted on the right speaker, and come with treble control in addition to those for volume and bass.
Three extra capabilities and such eye-catching beauty for $99. Unbelievable.
And it comes with a free trolley to cart the bulky weight to the car, and to the house.
Oh, I forget to mention, the speakers are from Creative Technology's Inspire Series. The model is the M85-D. They now sit proudly, flanking either side of my laptop. One day I shall take a picture and post it up on the net.
When pop music is played, you can really feel the beat and bass, as in the case of "Where is the Love" which I played as a test piece. For classical music it is just as good. I can detect almost every corner of the orchestra as it plays through the piece I select.
It's not disappointing when it comes to MIDI either. I played the orchestral score of "I Tried" on Sibelius, and it turns out like it was already played by the musical's orchestra already. The bass is crystal-like, which is very gratifying.
Ahh, the perfect sound system for making music! ¶ 6/06/2004 06:02:00 pm
