All Sifu, please help me to find a best speaker to pair with my OLD Yamaha RX V440 Amp doh.gif .

I looking for 2 front + 1 center speaker. My budget is around RM1.5k and I prefer the speaker is slim, small & black colour.

I'm very like to watch movie's with sound system, because of BLURAY!! HD movies.. I just upgrade my movie system to Full HD LCD TV and PS3, and I also thinking to change my Amp to HD Amp, but my friend said I should change my speaker 1st (because I'm using CHINA brand Speaker.. cheap speaker - full 5.1 speaker worth RM200 blush.gif ).

If possible, let me know where to buy!! TQ VM.

Do you think I can still improve my current set-up with me still be able to use my Edifier S530D 2.1 Speaker? I mean, I'll feel so bad if I will not be able to use after spending that much money with it. Because I just assembled my pc yesterday with the ability of having Home theater quality 8-channel High Definition Audio. I was thinking can buy 5.1 or 7.1 speaker but I will still be able to connect my existing 2.1 speakers to create a home theatre audio system. This might be to ambitious, but if it's possible, i would like to do it.

I'm looking for S530D also but no stock here. I wanna use it with my WDTV since 530D got digital input. The other thing I like is that you can change the speaker cable connecting sub and satellite. You may want to try a good SPOFC cable such as QED Silver Micro.

Anyway, if u want to get 5.1 speakers....sell ur 530D to me laugh.gif

May I know what is the benefit of changing my current speaker cable connecting sub and satellite to QED Silver Micro? Where is this available and how much?
Actually I have no intention of selling my speaker since i just bought it. I bought it before thnking that I'll be using my laptop for playing my mp3s and videos. Now that I just build my own desktop pc, i have alot of options (8 channel audio connection, DisplayPort, HDMI, Digital Optical Audi connection, etc). I was thinking of just using my current 2.1 speaker and expance it to 5.1 speaker system. If anyone of you knows any ways i could expand my audio set-up, please let me know.


Added on November 30, 2009, 12:45 amI bought Edifier S530d just few months back and for the past few weeks it's been working fine. Only last week, I notice that even though I tun up or down the volume using the wired controller or using the remote controller (while paying MP3, AVI, etc etc), the volume being emitted by the speaker does not change. Even though I mute it, and I play some MP3, there is still a sound being emitted in the speaker (meaning the input shown in the controller is not recognize by the speaker). I am connected to my CPU desktop computer using optical fiber audio connecting table. Below is the specs of my cpu
