Entry level hifi/ht Same feel only better, tigher, louder

Basshead go for Z5500 It has the power when u want it though seldom can utilise it unless your house is like mine. Behind is sungai, left is empty lot, right is plant nursery, front is road. No neighbours to complain me... haha. But the songs i listen too is not basshead type anyways so outside my room is not very noisy in the first place.

Different people, different taste, you cant say he is right or wrong. Just my opinion.

I do agree with him generally headphones are musical compare to Z5500 but dont mean Z5500 is bad, i had try a entry level sennheiser and hated it haha. Depend on taste.

Back 4 years ago, when i was research Z5500, i did come across negative reviews, mostly complain bass.... i can say, after i start play hifi, i understand what they mean. But 1 sen product 1 sen performance.... i accept Z5500 and i still love it. I change the sub level to 2 and 1/3 bar. Just my opinion, dun flame me.

Distance and room accoustic makes a difference.

But generally you get better SQ from headphones cos there is no room accoustic affect headphone and also, cost of components i guess. Speaker cabinets is also a factor in the cost of a speaker. Example, my speaker has bitumen in it. I think tats the stuff they use to make roads lol. Then labor cost, according to dynaudio, 80% of the cost of making speaker cabinet is labor cost. That why to get a speaker of good SQ, there is a price to pay.

Never try HD650 before but i believe it. Price to performance ratio too far... even tho we are comparing durian with nanas.

Bro, this comment unnecessary . We are discussing, not arguing. Besides, i dun feel chingwooi said anything to provoke you, just read it in positive view. Peace.

Btw, i work for every cent to buy my toys since secondary school. I have been a dishwasher boy even

Now, i know ppl say dun compare apple and oranges. But for me, i still like to compare with the condition keep in mind the price and type of fruit we are comparing.

Car and plane ah, can compare speed, smoothness of ride, noisy engine etc. Anyways let get back to topic.

Fawkes, i recommend u try Z5500 and Edifier S750. Im not sure the price for edifier, but i have tried it before and its a nice speaker. I like the tight bass and fact it has a tweeter. But u must go try urself. If you have ipod with familiar songs... shud request the promoter to let you use it as source.

For Z5500 is it the newer batches got more problem with control pod? mine still problem free for nearly 4 years.

Such a big budget, please consider hifi system. 1k or less for speaker, 1.5k ish for amp, sub i not sure 700-1k? a couple hundred for cables.

1k... try seach audio engine powered bookshelf.... hifi.. hard to do unless everything 2nd hand, but ussually very old.

If you go for old stuff, proly 1k can get you started with amp, speaker and cable. But if you want new stuff 2-3k. 2k you need to hunt really well.

Yes always audit and logi subs are always boomy. Altec old models are far better than the new ones too.

how can tat be... i have 2 set of speakers running beside my cpu and never hang.... strange...

im more worried tat i overload the wall socket...

just move the subwoofer first and see what happens...

What floorstander u using?

I too have floorstand + z5500, no prob.

if it stands on the floor then its a floorstander/tower speaker lol, how many watts is ur amp? if u change ur speaker, might yeild better sound...

the first number stands for how many speaker the 2nd number stand for subwoofer.

2.0 = 2 speaker
2.1 = 2 speaker, 1 subwoofer
5.1 = 5 speaker, 1 subwoofer

mp3 320kpbs or mp3 LAME still acceptable on your speakers. add a soundcard for a more controlled sound. but flac is better.

converting flac from mp3 is useless and pointless.... whats lost can never get back.

ya, i know, just adding a point.. sorry if it sounded wrong

HD onboard i have tested before on my office PCs vs my psc805. The soundcard is much better. Bass is more realistic and tighter, highs more sweet, etc.

If your not high demand user, maybe it would be enuf, but, if you feel you want more, SC is a good thing to add to your pc.
