Modding Aego M!!!

各位先生小姐仔細看囉! 板子上面有四個 1uf/50V的jamicon電解電容, 我第一次知道這個電容時, 嘔出了幾十兩血出來....

您知道它是何用途嗎? 答案是~~~~~~~~
交連電容

是的, 您我花了一萬多元買的喇叭, 居然是用這種貨色當交連電容!!
Acoustic energy你好樣的!!!
廠機呀廠機, 我真是摸不透你呀.....

Lol... I was thinking how good the amp stage of AegoM is, your link with the pics said a lot of things.

Thx for the link.

Anyone know what kind of speakers would be suitable to serve as a third (additional) speaker for the Aego-M system apart from the original satellite speakers from AE?

By the way, did any of you try the 3.1 setup/configuration?

Hi, does fellow forumer here have imbalance in the left and right channel in their Aego? Especially when the volume pot is at 9 o'clock or below, the imbalance is really serious.

 

[Gausss]

any speaker should be fine. i wouldn't use a low quality one though as that would just ruin your 200+ bucks setup.

That's for line out. The Aego-M do not have headphone jack.

 

[Gausss]

sorry noob here line out = input for mp3 player or tv via cables?

 

[athenaesword]

That's for line out. The Aego-M do not have headphone jack.

ehhh that hole can plug anything one mehhhh

 

[mexuswch]

Is it better to switch off the speakers when not in use or it it OK to leave it on all the time?

 

[trueworship]

Is this speaker beta than altec MX5021? in terms of quality and bass?
Saw that quite a few guys were complaining abt the sub strength...

Hi all,

I bought a pair of Aego M speakers today at SLS. At CE where they demo-ed their own set, it sounded really crisp and melodious.

Now back at home, I fixed it up to my computer. Following whatever little instructions there was on a singular piece of paper, the setup seemed simple.

However, it sounded rather...hollow. Not even better than my old pair of Altec Lansing speakers. Granted my soundcard is generic from Dell, and CE probably used some mad connecting silver cables costing $1k(I'm using stock), it still should be a significant improvement, shouldn't it?

There also seemed to be some slight crackling sound when the beats are heavy.

Questions:
1. Am I doing something wrong here with setup or otherwise?
2. What is the switch for central input meant for? Is it supposed to be at option Yes or No?
3. How can I improve the sound quality (without buying other stuff hopefully) ?

Thanks.

i'm using my laptop soundcard (macbook pro) and it sounds great.

centre setting should be set at no as default

try setting your soundcard output to 75% or higher

Man, it kinda hurts to see current prices after having paid 360 for it over a year ago.

Another bad point is even 320KBS mp3 is going to sound lifeless on the AegoM..

Many, many people (I daresay 99.9%; yes, that's 3 nines) will not be able to distinguish a properly encoded (read: LAME 3.98 at -V 2; bitrate range 170-230 kbps) mp3 file from the original CD track, unless they're sensitive to pre-echo.

You must be referring to those crappy ones downloaded off eMule or Limewire or Kazaa.

 

[triple888]

bombul - ce was using the stock cables during the demo
perhaps you should double check your connections

Either you really have very good ears, in which case you should go for better DACs and headphone amps,

or you are the x.xxx% of people that is affected more by placebo effect.

U play from CD and rip to HDD and play got diff one meh? Actually HDD even better coz no jitter. And that's why people go for EAC - CD is ripped slowly and multiple times to ensure the HDD copy is totally accurate and free from CD reading defects.

Or unless you talking about MP3 vs lossless, or computer vs CDP. Then of course got diff lah.
