correction - One thing i don't like about S750's is that (maybe its because of my housemate's treble config) .. the treble is SOOO loud that sometimes my ears hurt during car explosions scenes for example.

well i have to agreed, logitech's bass is loud ,but dont have tat long throw woofer 's solid feel, tat ooohmmp, as u might say...
but its very decent enough for the price man, we have to agreed price VS performance it all come to value of the product,

i choose (i think mostly also) logitechs speakers mainly on the value of the speakers,

if i want performance i frankly wont choose creative, nor logitech, i move to ta next level, proper home theatre amps and speakers, ANY brand also can beat ta heck out of any pc speakers any hour or time loh~~

so buddy , i have to think for ur self loh, wat u buy the speakers for? no point comparing cause all speakers HAVE limitation, nothing is perfect.

so by buying pc speakers of course u are on budget right, so....
if u want music ,clearity feel, get ones with proper driver like creative or klipsh,

on the other hand, if u want bass and conectivities like optical, spdif, coaxial, get logitech loh....

regards, good luck on ur choice....

hello - one thing i think users of Logitech sets that are thinking of getting mega or gigaworks. Hmm i have the luxury of having z680 and gigaworks in one house (another housemate owns giga). If u are used to the multiple input of Z680 and Z5500, please be advice that the feature is NOT available in S750 (unless if u are willing to fork out another RM599 for the creative decoder DDTS-100 - as my housemate did) As u all probably already know, the Logitech Control Center for Z680 and Z5500 have FOUR inputs and a headphone output. One of the reason i bought Z680 was because - i connect my dvd player, my sony mini compo to the Control Center. i also pc connect my PC analoguely and digitally to the Contro Center therefore .. the four inputs are totally used .. i think that is why silon said that for RM999... Z680 IS VERY VALUE FOR MONEY... i totally agree. BUT THEN I GOT MINE FOR RM1430 .. DAMNNNNN shud have wait another two years .. tongue.gif
*
oh. did i say that? i must admit, my memory aint that great, but for what its worth, i dont remember saying that unsure.gif shocking.gif

QUOTE(g5sim @ Sep 18 2005, 05:31 PM)
silon - just for clarification - i said that z630's woofer is smaller than Z680 and Z5500 and not S750? because i just checked, S750's sub is bigger than Z680. 

BTW - but then if u only use a single input on our logitech ... and want better sound ,,, go for S750 or PMU. Want think i don't like about S750's is that (maybe its because of my housemate's treble config) .. the treble is SOOO loud that sometimes my ears hurt during car explosions scenes for example.
*
bro, im confused. what are you trying to say? sweat.gif

hmmmm the s750's sub is bigger than the z680? youre absolutely sure about that? it looks smaller than my z5300's sub tongue.gif

this sounds interesting. please can you go check the settings? id really like to know laugh.gif

QUOTE(g5sim @ Sep 18 2005, 05:34 PM)
here is how S750 inside of the sub look like .... ( and i did not secretly open my housemate's sub and took photos tongue.gif )

LOL

QUOTE(terencetoo @ Sep 18 2005, 05:34 PM)
Ohh silon what a fast replied~

Make my day intresting~ after long hours work *sob sob*
So i can made a conclusion tat every speakers have their own pros n cons~

Such as creative gigaworks have good sound n extra satellites but creative engineers never try to implement a digital pod for controller

Wheras for logitech...have big sub n boomy bass speciality for games i think but sound wise..i think cant perform well compare to gigaorks [since gigaworks is the most exp one] tongue.gif

Act i dont really need a 10" sub...dont really dare to BLAST at home nor back my hometown~ too bad price tag for creative gigaworks..cost a lot more then Z5500~ haha [u really lucky guy bro~hope u really enjoy yor gigaworks]

Thanks for the pic too~ the device look plain...yeah is really plain compare to mine z680...but overall...still is *Gigaworks*

Ohh yeah...does the satellites of all Gigaworks produce equal sound quality nor surround? Can gigaworks switch the multichannel mode effect?

eg:
=7 channel direct
=Stereo
=PL2 music
=Pl2 movie and more from the controller?

Thanks!
*
you dont really have to buy the gigaworks to blast all your neighbours to hell man [hmmm its nice to know i can ph34r.gif ]. you can buy the gigaworks purely to enjoy its sweetness... when im done with my exams, im gonna use my 7.1 edge in HL2 online thumbup.gif
oh yes, im really enjoying them. i use them at least 6days in a week thumbup.gif

yea, all 7 sats are exactly the same. i once damaged one of the tweeters, but i wasnt very worried, i could change it to the other 5 locations whistling.gif [dont ask me why, and yes, i almost felt like crying]. i dont know about those stuff, i dont use them, i just enable CMSS2.0 when i game and disable it when im done sweat.gif

id like to share one of my most memorable moments with the gigaworks: when i loaded HL2 Online and started to shoot, i felt as if there was no bass whatsoever, kinda dissapointed but then i heard the detonation... OMG it was a punch to the heart. dissapointed no more! then, when i started to fire with the machine gun and moved forward, i could actually hear the bullet shells dropping to the floor and the sound fading away to the rear as i walked forward. that was one hell of a moment thumbup.gif

thanks. was about to ask you already. for a moment i thought you were a star collector biggrin.gif

so youre basically saying that all of us [the people who bought and are planning to buy the gigaworks and the PMU] are just fools? biggrin.gif rolleyes.gif

i dont know if this is true, but it is to my belief that HT Systems are tuned for bass and effects, not *that* suitable for music.

PC speakers? any brand can beat them? the gigaworks and megaworks were built by the engineers from cambridge soundworks. C.soundworks was started by a person [the late henry kloss if im not mistaken] who was very much involded in hifis. the PMU were from Klipsch. they make hifis all the way down to pc speakers. i dont think theyre 'easy' to beat thumbup.gif

sweat.gif sweat.gif not to be sarcastic here, i didnt know i step on your toes boy, sorry loh, i did know u were feeling like a fool for buying pc range speakers . i didnt even try to state or indicate that.... i'm feel u man,,, i'm simpatise u too~ sweat.gif

first of i'm just helping ta dude to choose wat speakers to buy, not insulting u nor making u feels like a fool for buying pc range speakers.....,which i have some doubts now,

just because u think chambridge certified soundworks means absolute perfect for every range of usage dude, its just merely marketing tactics boy, i'm sorry u cant afford to experience proper home theatre sound stage, but tat does mean pc range are bad, man, i just means there are no perfect speakers around boy, its more to personal taste on how u match the built to your listening prefferences....

and klipsh are good no doubt , erm but maybe u and i are on a different level of audiophiles, but thier pc range totally sucks, why would someone built a 5.1 pc range without giving analog 5.1 in? well i believe they sound sweeter than 680 but dont u feel its a very ametuer approches to pc range market by not giving better connectivity?? as for logitech its is powerful in bass but lack multiple driver to makes a more dynamic sound than kilpsh, but its cheap kay....

so like i said nothing is perfect , like u for example, u might not be in ta big league but that doesnt make u a noob, i repect u share ur opinion but peace lah dude, i did say u a noob or an idiot...wats with the fury? doh.gif

everyone here is just trying to help ta chap to make better choices in buying speakers he dont have much chance to test,
so .........cool boy.... sweat.gif

oh... i sounded angry? then im sorry, i never meant for it to be that way. i thought the multiple smileys were enough to indicate my tone? rolleyes.gif smile.gif sweat.gif

nop. i didnt say that cambridge certify stuff are perfecto, and you dont have to be sorry for me, i dont have much interest in surround sound and stuff, once in a while yes, but not all the time. im more into listening to music and for that, the gigaworks does the job nicely for me smile.gif

the klipsch speakers youre talking about it, the GMX series?

once again, like i said, im cool about this, it was a misunderstanding. you got my tone all wrong. ill try to include even MORE smileys next the time tongue.gif

awwww now thats really sweet man. my mommy hugs and kisses me 10 times a day since i was born, i think ive enough attention thank you smile.gif

in fact if anything, i too am contributing my *thoughts* [hmmm my weak mind in its n00bish state was able to spell that correctly] and opinion on this matter. everyone has their own opinion, if this wasnt the case forums wont exist. if you agree that multimedia speakers above rm1000 are not worth buying at all, then thats your opinion, im fine with it. but Hwoarang45 and others who think alike ought to see what other people think of this, i was merely trying to do so. this is, a place to share *thoughts* and opinions. you seem just as unwilling to open your mind to opinions as youre accusing me of.

nah, the GMX aint that great. they were designed for consoles [thus the digital connections and the pie shaped control module meant to be put on the floor or something]. the prices of klipsch speakers are all inflated here in malaysia. the GMX 5.1 should be selling for less than a grand [its currently selling for 1~1.3k] while the PMU should be around the gigawork's price, but its over rm2k.
