your rear sats are so close to each other... and so are the front ones too...

@silon

I have no more space to place my satellites... i need a big table ~~

thanks for advise

those rear satelites placement really worth u some bash..

a little sharing of how i set up mine.. i have 4 speaker stands that can't fit my logitech sats.. so in turn i bought 4 foldable chairs (sanded plastic) with rubber feet, and there i have my speaker stands, cheap and nicely position height due to the fixed tilt angle of the z5500 sats..

so, forget the speaker stands, consider getting urself a pair of those, and u'll have distinctive rear surround..

terencetoo, are u on an air-cond room?

i cannot let my z680 on in an non air-cond room cause the sub's heat sink will get extremely hot. Fear it will get kaboom..boom.

is your sub hot?


p/s: wah lau PSP will get a PSP myself in future hehe

i presume by not stuffing it to the corner of da room with no air flow, the sub shouldn't have any overheat kinda problem?

mine is in one hot tiny room .. blew the old unit once but the new one works fine even in a super hot condition. the circuit is not inside of the sub.

mind to show how u place the chairs? i got mine speakers stand for rm 240...wasted..cant fit Z680 wonder iz the same for Z5500?

haha mind works prefectly..not too hot..just normal.."mild" hot...i left a gap of 5" facing the wall..

cool...get a psp n some fantastic games, so v can play wifi together.

p/s: if keba boom get a new Z5500 bro...save money till dec..v get it together
from robyncom maybe have discount

the usual rear left and right corners, put the speakers on the chair, put some tape to hold it in position if u want, a pair of those chair is cost <RM20. for sure this is not the most elegant design, but it's flexible and cheap. and most of all, i can't mount any speaker stand to the z5500 sats as there r not thread or hole for speaker stand mounting..

and if there're guests in the house, those speakers are always ready to give way to the guests if u get wat i mean.. hehe..

ok .. just notice that Thunder is listing its Z680 set at RM988

do what Skevelim did lah ... mine are wall (drilled and screwed) mounted. All four sats are wall mounted. The two front sats are place 2 fts from the side of my monitor. Center sat below my monitor (i computer table is a old chepo one got to layer one). Surround speaker one on the left and one on the right of my seat. nothing placed at the back. its a 5.1 system not a 6.1 or 7.1 . therefore no rear sat

rented apartment with pre-cast wall, so wall mounting is the last thing in my list that i would do to mount my speakers. that's y i opted for foldable plastic+ aluminium chair mar.. btw, got those chairs in Tesco, and i have not heard any audio distortion/vibration caused by the chairs.. they have about the same foot prints as the speaker stands that i have.

those surround speakers ARE the rear speakers that i mentioned. rear speakers for rear channels, no? the point is to put the two rear ones at a location distanced enough so that positioning of different channels can be heard distinctively..

just got my z680
anyone can brief me on speaker settings?
such as subwoofer volume, satelite volume.. that kinda stuff?
thx

awwww it seems like everybody is getting themself a Z680 ... ... its like MyVi oredi ... early next year .. its going to be everywhere on the road ... other brands oso have to drop price to compete liau

My setup....

Front


Rear

Hrm.. it seems that both (left and right) speaker for front and rear are close to each other.

Btw.. wouldn't you placed your speaker.. abit lower?

Reason y i place my speaker so high is because I can't place the rear speaker at lower (See the window).... so I rather place 4 of the speakers at high place....

so it means is better to place the speaker far appart la?
actually one newbie question, u guys sure notice when u watch movies or listen to songs, the woofer produce powerful bass that will eventually shakes everything? for example it vibrates glass panels? want to ask a stupid question, will the vibration cause the house to collapse or crack in the long run? sorry for asking this, just curious..
