lol. quite true.

so how? u would like to sponsor the showroom with a better soundcard?

well, if u love the clarity and richness from the S2.1D, i suggest u go for it.
better sound quality is always a better thing to have than surround, IMHO.

you can go to electrical departments of most departmental stores like Jusco and Giant.
most likely, you can easily find it there. XD

Get at least the cables that are thick like those given with the Edifier
S-series. The copper inside them is thicker, thus giving you better sound quality.

And compared with the R501's standard wiring, once u change to the better quality ones, you can definitely hear a differnce.

u can set the bass setting on the speaker higher when you are watching movies.
also, you can tweak your bass settings (if you are using a creative sblive/audigy) higher. the 1900t3 will perform like a breeze. do try it out. but try not to max it out.

LOL. yeah. this is because the bass of speakers can be powerful enough to disturb the refresh rate of the monitor. o.0
and yes, where the speakers sit does have an impact. according to Hifi enthusiasts, the less contact the speaker has with the surface, the better the performance. which is why u see high-end Hifi sets and speaker stands have sharp/edgy bottoms to reduce loss through vibration to the ground or table.
speaking of putting the speakers around your room, you have to test it out yourself. as for me, if i place my 1900 set's back close to my wall, i get more bassy sounds. then if i move it further from the wall, the sound will not be so bassy. so do test it our for yourself. try different positions and see which suits you best.

wow the first pic's subwoofer unit looks neat. like a shiny black ball.
i wonder what are the specs like. XD

wow. got alien there in the first pic. cool.

damn. these speakers look hot.

Would you mind posting a picture of your setup?
Since you've found a good way of setting up the speaker positioning for better listening, would you kindly share with all of us here?

Thanks.

Bro, i suggest you don't trust reviews.
You from Sarawak or something right?
Maybe you could go to one of the Edifier dealer there to test. If you can't find there, let me know and i see can help you or not.

Put it further away from your monitor to increase soundstage-width and to give better stereo-separation. Also, try to place your speakers' back as close to the wall as possible, i find that this helps the sound from the speakers to easily fill the room and give you a better listening experience.

My setup with Edifier S4.1:


Well, it depends a lot on the sound source also. If they use some crappy CD to play on a crappy player, even the best speakers would sound like crap. XD
Maybe you can come KL for a visiting/holiday then can test @ the official Edifier Showroom.

Will get back to you on the dealers information for Sarawak. Need Mr. Edifier to explain. lol.

UGPM.

There's only Edifier stands for S and R series (those with subs). The R1900TIII, you have to get those different stands. Like from those Hifi shops. or maybe from IKEA. try checking out IKEA's ones and see if they can fit the R1900TIII. It's RM99 per pair, IIANM. Or DIY. hehe.

Try 'adding' more furniture into your room (and especially near or on your table). XD
When there are more furniture around (like cupboards, chairs, boxes, etc), they can help to provide their own resonances, thus, eliminating the bad resonance from your table.

Hmm. Yeah. The new big-speaker stands from Edifier are nice as i've seen them before at 'someone's house.
But no idea when coming.

W00t. Nice-looking setup you got there.
How much you bought the table? Damn. It's nice.

Not bad. Maybe you could put something underneath your S2.1D satellites to bring them up to the same level as your ears like what i did (in my picture in the previous post). But if you chair is those 'low-type', then no need.

According to Mr Edifier, this is already in stock. :thumb:

Is your Loudness setting set to 'On' or 'Off'? Usually i find the 'On' setting to give much more boomier bass. Maybe you can set it to 'Off' if u haven't.
And if it is already at 'Off', try placing your sub further from the wall (towards the middle of the room), and also, you can try to rearrange your table so that you yourself is not sitting so close to wall (test this out by tryin to play your speakers now and you try standing in the middle of the room, you will find that the bass is not as over-powering like when you sit next to a wall).

Yes, i find that by trying different placements with different furniture does make a difference. ^.^
But one major thing. If there's a cupboard that has some loosely-fit doors or drawers or are thin, it might cause a problem. >.<
So far i've tried with some solid wood furnitures (shelves) and some boxes (full of stuff inside them), to enchance the bass effect of my sub. As for clarity, i'm not so sure as it's quite hard to tell the difference (if there is any).

Wow. 1 whole page talk about stands. XD

Ok. The S2000 Speaker Stands are in.
Check here: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=290453

Sneak-peek.


Available @ Special Introductory Price: RM199 per pair (For a limited period only. And while stocks last!)

Maybe there are some dealers in Penang that have the S2000.

Which part of Penang do you live in?

dya_ungu,

If possible, try not to read the documentation provided with the R501. As for the Line 1 and 2, they both are additional inputs for the R501, which means that you can plug your discman/mp3player/another music device into the 2 extra inputs. It's a function that was added into the R501 MKII (as the R501 did not have this feature).

as for your DVD player connections, possible for you to take a clearer picture of it? try to get a picture that shows the connector-ports' names correctly. my advice, try to keep your hands steady while taking the picture.

Ok like this.
For those stereoplug cables (both ends have the same type of plug - the single plug type), just put them aside first.

For those RCA-to-stereoplug cables (one end is the stereoplug and the other end is two RCA [red and white] cable connectors), this is what you are gonna use to connect to your DVD-player.

Now, at your R501 back-panel, connect the RCA-to-stereoplug cables accordingly as follows:
- FL/FR [on R501] connect to Front-L and Front-R port [on DVD-player]
- C/SW [on R501] connect to C and SW port [on DVD-player]
- SL/SR [on R501] connect to Sur-L and Sur-R port [on DVD-player]

Make sure that the red-RCA connector goes to the red-RCA port on the DVD-player and the same goes for the white-RCA connector. Follow the colour-coding for the RCA-connectors.
And you can ignore the colour of the stereoplug cables. It's not important for your setup.

As for the Line 1 and Line 2 inputs, i've answered that in my previous post.
