Not happy with my Aego M 2.1

Bad_HatHarry · 23 Jun 2010 at 18:44

Had them for a couple of weeks now but just cant find a good balance with them, gaming or music.
I got rid of my 5.1 setup cos i wanted a more cleaner look on my desk.they sound like there in a can if that makes sense.
Tryed the three settings on the sub.
im running them with my x-fi titanium.

Been thinking of getting rid of all including sound card and trying diffrent setup.
Anyone found the same or any ideas.

What 5.1 speakers did you have before?

Bad_HatHarry · 23 Jun 2010 at 19:17

I had the creative megaworks.

could be faulty?- i had a faulty set...

Bad_HatHarry · 23 Jun 2010 at 21:58

How did they sound ojrules. when faulty i mean?

ojrules · 23 Jun 2010 at 22:51

it was one of the satellites, sounded distorted, took me a while to realise at first, it wasnt like in your face obvious( i was just dissapointed at first). Listen to the satellites independately, and try and see if you think one in particular is broken. Also, i kind of want to say that it sounds like there may be a dodgy connection. - Like if you ever put a headphone socket in halfway, if thats all you heard you wouldnt quesiton it, but when you push it in fully you get the full sound, i dunno just a thought...

Oh ok thx ojrules will have a play around.

Speaker position can play a big part too, I found them to be really good.

TALON1973 · 24 Jun 2010 at 18:36

I have had aego for 2 year now, I never realised how good they were till I move the satellites further apart

well after your top tips all, moving them around has made a huge diffrence to the sound, just listening to some del amitri at the mo and its lovely.

many thanks all for your help

Speakers need to be 'broken in' as well, they should get better after 100 hours+ of use

A complete myth.

Anyway, I've got nothing but good things to say about my pair of Aegos. They could possibly be faulty, but I can't understand how anyone couldn't be impressed by them.

When you say further apart, how far apart are you saying?
