I think he'll prefer Corsair's bass. It's sort of boomy yeah? My S730D is on the process of burning-in. My housemate's doing it since I'm on holiday. Hopefully 200 hours when I come backĀ  biggrin.gif

the corsair can be boomy or tight depending on the setting u put in the controller.For music i normally put in default so the bass "blends" with the music(thanks to sealed port design).

And when gaming there is this "action gaming " EQ which makes the bass boomy,thunderous,monstrous,.......


Basically makes the room feel like a real battlefield(oh god,so fun playing bf3 beta with this....*drool*)


so music,movie gaming,they are all good.But i reli wanna noe how the s730d sounds like,I dont reli wanna look or hear the ones in the shop coz they are either broken or play nonsense songs or are just not in an optimized room condition.

too bad i dun have any audiophile frens.... sad.gif

corsair sp2500 vs edifier s530. which is better? both in the same price range

50% music 50% gaming, so i prefer an all round speaker. going to use onboard sound card, but if too lousy plan to buy asus xonar dx
*
definitely sp2500! thumbup.gif
its juz crazy nice for musics and even more awesome for games.The bass definitely can shake your house,and for music maybe u can lower the bass and since this speaker uses sealed port it will sound seriously nice on musics,it just "blends" with the music.And the trebles,seriously,i dunno how crisper can it get lol.Even movies juz sound explosive with it.Definitely the best purchase I've made so far. biggrin.gif

it's only when your expensive speaker(anything that costs RM800 or more) sounds like crap then it's time for a better soundcard.

but even cheapo speakers sometimes do benefit from good soundcards...

hey~ rubbish in rubbish out, kinda make sense that you need good source to be able to amplify up the good sounds eh?
you duwanna amplify trash into more trash rite? cool2.gif

I can NOT find anywhere aego m 2.1.
Even amazon.co.uk does not send to my country.
The A.E supplier here told me that he needs 2 months to get them.
So i am stuck.

Is there are any better option for music only above T3?
Even in higher price but with small size speakers ?
Can you recommend me some 2.1 to check ?

u can never go wrong with corsair sp2500,rocking it right now and i dont think i can find any flaw with it.There are very few users of this speaker currently not because its not good,but because there are virtually no display sets at all anywhere,so most people that actually have this speaker just depend on the online reviews and i can darely say,have not regretted their purchase smile.gif

Try aking vivakarna(the guy who post above me tongue.gif ),enjoiflip,ukimaro(all lowyat users) what they think of this beast wink.gif
