Hi,

I just dont understand why spend around RM1.5k go for Logitech gigh end PC sound system? Why didn't go for receiver type sound system?

Is there any secret using PC type speaker in order to achieve the rock sound which is may stunning the room? brows.gif

S750 and d best 5.1 multimedia speakers Klipsch PM5.1 Ultra were using the BASH amp which is famous in overheating...

Logitech is famous in burning fuses, so its more reliable(cheaper i'd say) and u can easily swap it wif those slow burns...

That is why after very long time consideration. I has been decided to leave all High End pc speaker such 3 top brands:

Logitech Z5500 RM1499 Cons: When do listen music, a lot ppl said its sound crap. I read review from Mat Salleh also said that too doh.gif

Klipsch PM5.1 RM17xx Cons: No dts decoder. Sound i din know. As u guy say, overheated issue doh.gif

Gigawork S750 RM1xxx Cons: No dts decoder. As u guy say, overheated issue.

So, I made it for Yamaha RX-V361 (5x100 watt rms) dolby, dts decoder etc and Yamaha NS-P430 (5.1) (Used spk) for total RM900 + RM480 = RM1380 + 50 (Coaxial cable)

Of course, this set no problem for movie booming at all.....and it is expanable in future thumbup.gif

z5500 doesnt sound that crap actually...
the clarity is there...but the bass was too much

Mat salleh say bass covered the surround sound. When listen music, if with analog signal, totally crap according one lowyater previous thread, he did test side by side

Of course, i used to listen during pc fair, z5500 can booming so loud even in PISA fair arena sweat.gif But like that also bad ma, sub woofer die fast leh sweat.gif

was surfing earlier how to connect a darn digital optical or coax line to the z5500s....sigh. i matched it with my SB x-fi extreme music but no optical/digital out from that sound card directly! they have some funky 3.5mm 'flexijack' that needs a converter.

i have to get their creative i/o module for another ~rm100. what brilliant marketing strategy.. vmad.gif

Haha ya loh, i m fuking sien to find the convetor from RCA male to 3.5mm minijack. Luckily, i got the coaxial cable at the same place i buy the yamaha amp. There do manually for me tongue.gif bcos that field is their expert one ma brows.gif 1.5M + minijack 3.55mm + gold head rca male = RM50 biggrin.gif

so in summary:

co-ax cable + minijack 3.5mm, + RCA male head = Fit SB card minijack hole?
the RCA male head is because of ur yamaha amp needs it rite?

Ya, i got a SB Audigy oldest model SB009x series oem.

yes you are right , 3.5mm minijack for connect to my SB card while RCA male is for connect to Yamaha AV Amp.

hi hi jim,

hows ur amp? sounds gud? thumbup.gif

might wanna do the same if the sound cun. biggrin.gif

So far so good lah, just low sound, i need to turn it till -10dB then soun dloud loh tongue.gif

One thing, for playing game really not good, since you need other connection to do with the amp. So i din do for me.

Another thing with HTPC, it is more flexible lah IMO, it is expanable..
