Can't boom at nite la..... Even is 8pm something, I also not dare to turn on the speaker in loud status....

how much is the exact price for z680? As i know it is below than 1k. Any shop to recommend?

maximum u should pay is RM980. Get lower than that if u can... if not just walk out.

Get it as fast as you can now....heard some news that said lowyat is out of stock(Dun fire on me if this news is outdated or not true....I just heard SOMEONE said).

Use the same guide as the one for Z-5500. It is around the same.

RM999. It's promotion now.. that's the offer., said one of the staff there.

Got mine @ C-Zone.

aiyooooo u simply kenot talk to the staff if u want to buy stuff .. u must talk to the boss directly ... my also from c-zone .. two years back ....

I don't know who is the boss, vice versa. All I know is, Scooticus is the name being mentioned here in their own shop's thread in lowyat.net. Furthermore, I don't see his batang hidung today.

Well, imo.. it's pretty worth it given that few months back, it costs 1.3k?? save couples of hundreds..

Now now.. how m I going to survive till end month?

Finally, finished setting up my z680.....at here, wanna thanks to g5sim! He sure helps me a lot....

Wanna ask you all guys, what kind of wired you using for your z680, coxial, optical or the stock one? Is there any major difference between these?

Normally which u all using? stereo, stereo2, music, movie or 6 channels?

Maggie mee, perisa kari RM2.5 for a pack of 5 (Giant Supermarket) x 6 = 30packs (ngam ngam 1 one) for RM15/month for lunch. Sleep until 11.00 am so that u can skip breakfast.

dinner - nasi lemak biasa RM1.00 - RM30month .

Total - 15 + 30 = RM45/month


One more thing, since its going to be puasa month this week. DO NOT go 200meter near to any Gerai Ramadhan. if not .. finished lah u ...

"6 channel direct" for any analogue signal from PC. If in case u can't hear the dialogue clearly while watching certain AVI movie files, change the input to "movie"

wowo so many z680 user nowadays hehe...all got a bargin price...so envy u guys..hehe....

have been a Megaworks 510d for about a year (until it died on me.. ), and now i'm using z5500. i was surprised to hear that the crispness and clarity of the logitech is actually much superior than the megaworks, and the bass is not as boomy as the megaworks.

Not sure wat kinda bass u r looking for, but the logitech's bass is somewat tighter than the megaworks. the bass is well defined as u can hear the change of bass node as compared to the boomy bass from the megaworks where i can't tell wat node is being played. The bass i get from megaworks is a bit over-emphasized and undefined..

If u ask me, i would prefer the z5500 to the megaworks.

the z5500 has included a comprehensive Quick Start guide in their massive packaging, so there's no worry in setting it up.. let's worry instead about moving that massive package into ur room..

did u went for an audition for the gigaworks? why not?

btw, how long have u been using the megaworks before it died on you? somehow, im beginning to question creative's speaker reliability

edit: also, if its been a year, have you spoken to creative about getting them to 'fix' the megaworks for you or anything like that? or did u just left it alone?

thanks

Have not have any chance to audit on the Gigaworks here in Penang, though it was 2nd in my list after the Z5500. the promedia 5.1 ultra is simply too expensive to my liking, their GMX series on the other hand does not impress me with their lousy control pod design and boomy bass.

i listen to music a lot apart from movie watching, and i would put my priority to music when i make my selection as i believe a reasonable powerful / good set of system should be sufficient to drive the movie watching without the need to specifically emphasizing on bass.

so, call it phobia if u may.. the megaworks didn't actually went 'dead' as it still powers on, but getting pretty close to that state..

the megaworks i got was a refurbished set sold by a fellow forumer. been using it for about 1 & half year, then somehow the volume starts to go high and lows all by itself, until recently the sound went crack/distorted when i turn my volume above 1/3 of the whole range.

been doing some research of the matter, and i end up finding a lot of such similar cases in a Creative's forum, where i seen a lot of case of the forumer with their dead / bad subwoofer-amplifier.

the cause of the problem were due to some badly designed power circuit. there's a case where the transistors even cracked into half.

http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/bo...ard.id=speakers

can't remember the exact thread, then again, do some searching in this forum, u'll see wat i mean. i do realize that these cases could be some rare case that only happened to the forumers in there. but since i myself is caught once in such situation, i figure i'd better pass the Gigaworks and go for the logitech's highest range ( i still have a set of z640 which served me fine, of which being used by my gf later after the upgrade to megaworks).

i'm a happy user of z5500, even my gf can tell the diff of the sound quality for it's crispness and clarity. the control pod combined with the infra-red remote is working well, the reception of the remote is good, the set up is easy, the Stereo X2 mode is good for music, i use foobar to play DTS-CD and the staging of the speaker set is superb...

hmm.. this is getting very long, ask me if still got anymore questions...

tips: Find the easter eggs in z5500 by doing the following: while the z5500 in standby mode, pressing combinations of buttons on the control pod for 6 seconds will switch / enable some hidden mode. for instance, pressing all buttons except the "Level" button will trigger a Second Skin, which would change the LCD display scheme and even the color of the power button (Red --> Purple).

tried to get it repaired through the local distributor, the answer i got was:
Sorry, can't be fixed, the 510d is an obsolete set. and even if it can be fixed, it's better for u to get a new set, as the repairing fees is gonna be close to that.

also went to some electronics appliances repairing shops, ppl there have no idea of the design and dare not to fix the damn thing.. probably i've not search hard enough for a repairing shop, but i'd be leaving it aside for now as i'm happy with the Z5500.

haha .. luckily my Z680 comes with a three year warranty

my housemate (ex-housemate) creative inspire 6.1 oso dead without warning. He upragraded the set to Gigaworks and put the inspire in the box. A while after that, he found a prospective purchaser of the inspire set. The poor thing came to the house to try to test the system ... and there was the system... totally dead, couldn't even power on. my housemate (ex) was soooo embarassed ...

ah, i see. so it was more of a i-dont-want-another-creative kinda thing you had?

your priority was on music and in that, the gigaworks beats even the PMU. ive considered the PMU heavily and even if the prices werent inflated to such an extent, i would still have gone for the gigaworks. though, when and if it dies on me, ill certainly remember to stay away from creative in the future. the megaworks, the gigaworks, theyre both high end stuff. theyre very little of them out there and even then, there are countless cases of them dying. this would most certainly suggest a high failure rate. ive seen many times in a couple of forums where gigaworks unit would arrive either dead on the spot or with a few deffective satellites.

that reply sounded abit cold
why didnt you speak to creative directly? im guessing people at creative would be more helpful than the distributor?

i thought logitech had a standard 2 year warranty for their speakers?
perhaps they had different warranty lenghts for different products. my 5300 had a 2 year warranty. speaking of logitech, the mx700 mouse has a whopping 5 year warranty! it is to my belief that every mx700 is faulty [logitech discontinued it, it is no longer on their site, you can barely find a ingle page with 'mx700' on it]. when i sent my mx700 for an RMA, an mx1000 poped out magically.

does z680 have hidden backlight? hehe~ or font change:P
