Specification:2.1,can also consider 5.1 but 2.1 is better for music right?

Was looking at Edifier S330d since many said it's good.What about the new Logitech Z523?

Guys

I'm pondering boutmy speaker purchase.

So, C3 vs S330?C3 has a much bigger satelite thus better sound effect and more room for sound vs S330 which has better bass.And yes, C3's satelites is made of wood and thus giving it a more "bookshelf" look rclxms.gif

Need some expert's help here as i don't really trust the quality of the songs played at the computer shops doh.gif

Usage: Music,gaming,movies icon_rolleyes.gif

imo, the C3 sound better than S330. probably because i prefer C3's midrange more over S330's clarity. both has its strength. but still, having heard of both, C3 gets my vote. however in the end i settled for R501 which also sells at the same price.

and for the C3 weak bass. im sure there are ways to improve it (i.e soundcard or software or mod).

Thanks for the useful post smile.gif

But somehow, i couldn't really test both of them properly.Most of the time the demo units are just too old already and yeah...the songs they play aren't even 320kbps i reckon sweat.gif

Any place where i can really audition them properly?I don't wanna make the wrong decision sad.gif

haha yea shops dont even play 320kbps mp3... some just use any songs that they have to demo.. anyway i dont know much about which shops provide best listening experience. just wait from some others' words. anyway, links for you, the frequency graph and what's inside both speakers : C3 and S330D
*
Honestly, i don't know head or tail on what the graph is saying sweat.gif *Bangs head on the wall*

But hey,the C3's "innards" look delicious to me

Probably i'll test the 2 units at All IT at Ikano Power Centre since its newly opened and certainly the units there are also brand new eh laugh.gif
QUOTE(power911 @ Feb 4 2010, 08:55 PM)
both c3 and s330 is made of MDF wood
it's just that the cover outside is different

I'd say choose C3 for great listening experience and S330 for portability
*
Both made of MDF wood is it?Certainly unrecognizable from the naked eye tongue.gif

Yeah..i liked the way the C3 handled the sound better than the S330.While mid range is better, it certainly lacks a bit of bass power heh.But yeah, the S330D has clarity - very clear to the extent it almost sounded a little bit squeeky tongue.gif

With my current C3 + Asus Xonar U1, would it be better than a Edifier S530d without sound card? rclxub.gif

A dedicated PCIE sound card is definitely much better than on-board smile.gif
