yeah, cause edifiers are very sensitive to the sound source, it play exactly what the source sounds like, so a bad source will reveal it's flaws with edifiers...the higher end ones especially...starting from c3 up to their S-series

wow
polls make things tight
you all really highly recommend s330???
lol
i thought of getting the 8 Inch sub would look cool.
I guess I can't choose c3 as I don't have enough $ to buy good soundcard
(let me think of it first)

actually both are good speakers, go audition them with a cheap china mp3 player or something to compare what they both sound like with cheap source... which is better?

then try use something higher end like sony mp3 or at least an ipod to compare how they both sound like with a better source...

most important thing is TRUST your ears. cos different people different taste.

ok


this sit shows lots of pics bout s330

Sourcesauce, you say?

Does it refer to the noise level or bitrate of the signal input?

hahah. Yeah source, actually everything counts in audio reproduction, from the source file mp3 and bitrate...best to use is FLAC... to soundcard...soundcard capacitors, opamps, EMI sensitivity of the card....to the cables to the speaker etc etc...

I'm planning to buy 2.1 speakers for my newly purchased PS3.

After doing some checking, it's now either s330 or c3. Which one of these speakers would sound good paired with a PS3?

And also S330 has the digital version. Does digital make any differences for this purpose?

For PS3, i will recom u S330D, It can connect to u digital output.

oh i see. S330D is a good option then.

Anyway i just bought a 24" Dell ST2410 with HDMI input and audio output (3.5mm jack)

I'm wondering if i connect my PS3 to my monitor via HDMI ( for video+audio) and then output the audio from the monitor to the 2.1 speakers, how would the sound quality be. Similar to digital output?

hey
I see my post is revived again lol

s330 is good but in my opinion if connecting to PS3 it will be a headache to control the volume

so C3 wins in functionality because of the wireless remote

thanks for the help everyone. I've bought s330D (white colour) at about rm439 from a shop in lowyat plaza. Decided to go for this since it has optical

buy both u got the best of both world

RM439 only huh ?

rm439 only? mind to pm the which shop u get it from ? cos im also considering this

The shop is called The Hub (plastic bag says powered by Viewnet).

Anyway seems like different salesman quoted different price. One quoted RM459 and the other RM439.

Thread resurrection..
I have the same question with the TS,
in dilemma here,
Which one to choose, C3 or s330?
I more to music and playing game than watching movie.

both of em almost in same price range,(s330 +rm40)
What i know about the speaker is
S330 pwn C3 in bass, simplicity but lack of function
C3 pwn s330, got moar function, got remote control, but the bass is weak compare to S330 and need a good sound card aswell good cable.

TS is here to save you
in my opinion S330 isn't really that good for overall performance... the treble will kill you slowly day after days~
get the C3 and a good soundcard like Asus Xonar U1 (if you can still find it)... ignore cables as it does nothing huge...(unless you change them to silver cables)

if you can't find any good soundcard available then go get this
it's good and cheap at the same time


but still... allow your ears to judge them as we can't help you in that part.
(or you can top it up and get an Edifier S530D or S730D )

yes! thanks for saving me!! almost drowned in All IT today,
Already tested the C3, compare to it little sister, C2+(hcs2330), the sound is totally difference, the audio much clearer, the bass is tight but weaker than C2+,(this baby boom the All IT today, haha, sorry... )

Then Tested the logitech, forgot which model, but it THX certified, well, from my ear, it sound better than C3 but, after tune up the C3, GAWD, almost like the THX model

But sadly i couldnt find the s330, so cant tell which one is the best.

Over all, im going to get Edifier C3! HAHAHA!

Btw, TS, as C3 user, do you recommend to upgrade the RCA cable? yea, because the speaker cable look fine to me, but the RCA cable is.. well.. cheap.. not like an audio cable at all.
About the sound card, Asus Xonar U1 and Creative 5.1 usb. which one u prefer?

c3 has better bass depth, but lacks the decay if i'm not mistaken. hence the bass sounds dry yet very accurate, more like monitoring kind of bass, not soft nor relaxing

hope this might help a little bit
