S530 is a great choise but since you can push to 1k, i think you should just get the S730. its one of the best speaker no doubt. sound card can be purchase later if necessary coz this speaker already hve nice sounding without expensive sound card. i used to play music a lot with S730 connected to phone, feels good mang...
watching movie also great, clean and solid bass while clarity keeped clear. i recommend S730 over S530D coz later you dont need to worry upgrading ur sound system coz your next upgrade shloud be a HT system
*
I was thinking of that too,

S530D + Xonar D1
or
S730 + stock sound card

But then, I'm scared that my housemates will be pissed lol. For music listening, the S730 is better than the S530D? More clarity, soundstage etc? Or just louder bass? hmm.gif Btw why did you sell yours so early vmad.gif

QUOTE(power911 @ Sep 5 2011, 11:24 PM)
unless you want tight bass then I suggest S530D over S730D cuz it gets slightly boomy and delayed. (only if you compare it side by side tho)

I want S730D just because of the passive radiators XD
*
Passive radiators = louder bass? I think I tried the S730 before but only about 1 minute, yeah the bass is a bit boomy hmm.gif

passive radiators doesn't mean louder bass.
it's just a different way to design a speaker, no big deal

but if you really want sq go for s530d with soundcard
go for s730d if you know you can still upgrade in the future brows.gif
*
Yeah I'm not focusing too much on bass, SQ comes first. Don't want the excessive bass to kill the mids, clarity and etc because I will be using it 80% on music. Though I want the bass to be nice. What about the satellites? Is it better that the S530D?

What do you mean by upgrade from S730D? To HT? Far far away I'd say tongue.gif

the S730D bass will not kill the mids as long as you tune it down
same goes to the S530D

satellites, they're the same imo. they sound the same too lol tongue.gif

lols when I say upgrade I actually mean in soundcards XD
did not state properly tongue.gif sorry blush.gif
*
Same satellites? So paying the extra money just for the extra voltage and bass? What about the bass from S730D at low volumes?

Yeah, if I buy the S730D, I'd probably buy a soundcard in the future smile.gif

Btw, about the satellites, will it make a difference by placing it angled towards the face, and the height at head level?

definitely. but the speakers are quite heavy so make sure you got solid base to elevate the speakers
*
Tried elevating and, wow! Better sounding and increased soundstage, my opinion that is.

S730 has wider soundstage? Mannnnnn really can't wait for the speaker, this C3 is so awesome already drool.gif



@bulibulizaimon

Bro, how was your feeling when using the S730 before? brows.gif



Add = Somehow I stumble upon the review. Aural Showdown - 2.1 Multimedia Speakers Shootout (http://www.hardwarezone.com.my/product-edifier-s730)

It recommends the Klipsch ProMedia GMX A-2.1 & Creative Gigaworks T3 over the S730 icon_question.gif But I guess I can't trust 1 review, is there any shop that has all these models? hmm.gif

Awesome for music? I'm using it 80% for music hmm.gif

Sound quality, the T3 or S730D is better? Not gonna listen to it that loud I guess. Comfortable listening volume smile.gif

Personally, i like S730's sound signature. No distort on loud is kinda important expecially on gaming, blast it all the way smile.gif)
T3 a bit warmer than S730. I suggest you audit them 1at to decide which one you like. Try them at All IT at Ikano Power Center (IPC). Mostly theres less ppl there compared to Sri, Viewnet and All IT at Lowyat Plaza.
*
I see, All It have both T3 and S730D? At first I thought the S730D is more than RM1k coz my budget is RM1k only.


QUOTE(power911 @ Sep 7 2011, 02:23 PM)
personally I prefer S730D too mainly because it has potential,more functions, and better sounding mids

the T3 though, had better bass imo
*
Probably because of the 3 bass drivers. But the S730D's bass is not as bad as Z5500's right?



Thanks a lot for all the replies guys. I think I've decided to get the S730D. I have to block the sound from going out of my room first tho. I have a thick cotton blanket, planning to cut it and place it between the door coz there's a gap. Does it work?

This guy selling at RM1050 free delivery @ selected area. All IT hve both of them them to test out if not mistaken.

Both T3 and S730 hve 1 driver and 2 passive radiators. S730's bass are much cleaner and solid while Z5500 are producing boomy bass  icon_idea.gif

Thanks bro, pm'ed him already. That's a good price already right? Btw, about soundcards, are they really important? Probably get Xonar D1 soon if it's gonna make some difference hmm.gif

What's the difference between S730 & S730D? Optical input? Is it important?

Hurm, so instead of spending RM200+ on a normal soundcard, I guess it's better for me to use the onboard soundcard first, then save some money to buy the higher end soundcard right?

CD quality wins normally.
but sometimes 192kbps does no difference (only sometimes)

to stop sound from going out of the door one has to buy expensive dampening materials to absorb sound
*
I see, but only a little difference eh? What would be a huge difference then?

What about filling the gap with cloth? I have a thick blanket that I'm not using lol.
