Maybe you like warm signature.... i suggest you dont adjust any of the equalizer and bass/treble setting on the speaker, let it neutral.

Also if your using mp3, it could be tat problem. Mp3 if poorly rip can be too bassy, thin sounding and bright. Play from your CD.

Just bought my s730, love it. Have to burn in now, still trying to get the perfect set up though(placing and treble settings etc). Possible yo have more clarity? Using optical out by the way. Or should I use the co-axial? Any help from 730 owner??smile.gif

haha I got c3 also, waiting for u to come back so I can listen to the explanation from him brows.gif by the way how do u tweak the bass on the soundcard. Currently using asus xonar d2x. Or should I swap the c3 with the s730?
*
Why optical, ur bypassing your soundcard and letting the speaker do the digital to analogue conversion. I believe if u let the SC do it, will be better.

Guys, I'm using Edifier M3300 for 4 years liao. Now thinking to upgrade.
Budget wise is not a problem but must be worth for value la hehe smile.gif

I'm currently eyeing on Edifier S730 since its highly recommended. What else is out there?
Anyone can recommend? Mostly using it for music and movies, lil part for gaming.

I read that a change in cable can further improve the performance?
And also I'm using Fatality Xtreme soundcard bought from a forummer here, kucingfight. Is that good enough?
Or should I upgrade? Like the xonar or what u guys mentioned..I never heard before lol. Cos I don't know much..
Thanks

Since your on pc speaker i woudnt recommend you spend too much on cables, in fact i dont think it will make much difference. Others might disagree, but i feel pc speakers are just not able to show cable difference.

@lang4, go for the edifier. It has tighter bass. The logitech is good for movie and games but, unless ur a bass head, u might not enjoy it in the long run.

Back when i got my Z5500, Edifier wasnt tat popular and not many ppl knew about it, if i had the choice then i would take edifier.

How ever best if u can test them urself. smile.gif

My speaker is not as boomy as b4. I have it on tacima and i turn the bass down really low (2 bars). At tis setting, the bass is weaker and it doesnt vibrate nor shake my door even at higher spl....

Anyways will be getting a new subwoofer soon wink.gif Either tat or a Class D amp.

Sonic Gear has poor build quality, not sure the sound of the tube though. Just worried they are a very poor long term investment.

about the s730 passive radiator, will it better than those standard port like s530?
and will it really go down till 20Hz if i place it at the corner of my room?

Impossible for a pc speaker, you need to spend at least 3-4k HT subwoofer then i think its possible to get such low bass.

Specs can be misleading especially pc speaker market.

err..using 5.1 for music is freaking way better than 2.1. Well, its all up to our own ear anyway, whether u like a surround sound or not. i love to be at the center of the sound

This is base on your taste. I prefer the stage to be in front. When setup properly the speaker dissapears and you can hear the sound move infront of you... awesome... not easy to do...

From what I understand, in order to setup a Home Theater, I will need an AV Receiver too.

So any recommendations for 5.1 speaker AND AV receiver below RM800?
*
For you, should go look for those HTiB package, possible, my friend ever buy small system around rm600-700, but you get what you pay for, those speaker are small, lacking in power and clarity, the sub is small.

You should consider getting a decent 5.1 edifier rather than a HTiB that small.

well i was hoping for C5 to release soon since C3 kinda ancient...c3 has been going on in the market for how many years?
i scared when i buy those set then c5 will release which the price is not far different but the specs are entirely different.
you have been using it for how long? and what type of music u listen to?
in what ways THX certified speaker affect the sound quality of the speaker?
is it necessary to get the piece with THX cert for the quality?


Added on April 6, 2011, 2:23 am
chill will let u noe this weekend i will give some review..loll..c3 only 47watts hence s330 72watts...i bet when listen to club/pop song s330 more shaking...
i pray that s330 have controllable bass n nice sound unlike product which came from sonic gears which throws everything together and produce sound pollute.
*
If you like the sound, get it. Dont have to wait for new model unless your buying surround sound speaker. My fren's 8yr old altec is one the best sounding pc speaker i heard. Important is audition.

THX is not important. It doesnt really tell you how good a speaker really is. I have a Z5500 and i hardly use it, .

are you using edifier as well? compare with z-2300 n edifier c3 which one have the most clean sound? or shouldn't compare with it cz ya know rite the price gap between those 2..can u give some review abt ur currently use speaker n what make u rarely use z-5500? i thought that speaker was so damn good by only watch the review from utube..

Cos i have long upgrade to using hifi speakers now for pure stereo music and movie. I like the big room filling sound. The cables alone is more expensive than a new set of Z5500. blush.gif Not trying to show off. It lacks low bass now but i have plenty of bass down to 50hz. Im aiming for a subwoofer now. Wait till get bonus.... lolz Im aiming for something about rm4k

No i dont own any edifier but i did audit b4.
