Thanks. Btw stupid question here. Would a 5.1 system where the rear speakers placed in front instead of the back stimulate the same sound as a 2.1 system?

Reason being can hardly find decent 2.1 system and the 5.1 system has blue ray somemore, future proof also because who knows might buy blue ray and fully use the 5.1 tongue.gif


Added on July 1, 2012, 8:56 pmBtw do you guys think a Logitech Z906 would be good HT set? For about 13 feet listening distance

in better wise... both are somewhat... standard LOL

Z906 have more speakers for more midrange power but meh...

S730D will only boom you up with bass and nothing much.

choose wisely XD

or if you can still find Pioneer EV 70 micro hi-fi then it would do a better job as a speaker for big room

Any idea where I can get a Z5500 LOL Seems like everywhere and everyone is saying Z906 is worst than Z5500 due to many reasons mainly because of cost cutting measures.

I'm looking for a new set TBH smile.gif

If really don't have, then nvm loh, I can just get Z906. Not like the difference is HUGE between the Z5500.

Just need something reasonably decent to listen too for movies and music smile.gif

Btw this review:

http://soundnews.ro/2011/05/29/logitech-z9...nglish-version/

Translated though. It mentioned:

PROS:
- Good performance in movies and games
- Good connectivity and versatility
- Slick design
- Competitive price
- Ease of usage
CONS:
- The sound lacks any sort of refinement
- Lack of dedicated tweeters
- Lack of high definition decoders
- Severe lack of improvements compared to its predecessor Logitech Z5500
- Mediocre integrated amplification (bottle-necking the loudspeakers)
- Questionable quality cables (can be fixed)


Added on July 2, 2012, 1:28 amEdit: I heard many people say that there are hardly any mid range in the Logitech speakers? Is it true?

I believe it should do the job 'if' you do not mind what I mentioned in the corsair thread tongue.gif

but I believe the Z906 is a few hundreds over your budget.

good luck negotiating with the seller wink.gif

@power911: I think I'll get the Edifier S730 as it is an all rounder, good in music and movies. If there is a lot of details lost, I'll just pump up the volume:

Video here, Z906 really kena pawn kao kao. Mid range is almost non existent doh.gif : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4L_UW1tob34

Audioengine is also close range.. it's good but not good enough for some far range.
well it has a flat like response (if I could remember) so movies will be a lil less interesting

1.5k... Edifier S550? LOL
nah... seriously... some floorstanders and an amp would be better?

the choices highlighted is the good stuff people around here chose
Altec lansing is good but it isn't as impressive for the price. Quite... cheap sounding

Logitech Z623 is also good biggrin.gif (if you're into boomy gaming XD)

The soundsticks is good I gotta say
JBL creature is also good

but I highly recommend Aego M but since movie is also in your list, this will be off
Edifier S530D and Corsair SP2500
the only two that is a good all rounder for the price
Edifier S730D is also good if you want POWER

Not enough budget for floorstanders and amp sad.gif

Thinking of either the Z906 or this:

http://www.sony.com.my/product/bdv-e490

My take on the pros and cons of each:

Z906
Pros: Good system, got 4.1 stereo(which I will use), compact and small
Cons: Lacking mid range

BDV-E490
Pros: Seems like a good deal. Has 3D Blu ray player, powerful RMS,
Cons: Probably cant configure to play 4.1 stereo

I think if you're gonna use 4.1 stereo for sony, you gotta play with the cable work by plugging via aux/portable 3.5mm I guess (if they have{normally in front})

instead of 4.1 you'll get 5.1 XD

Is it that bad or weird if playing 5.1 sound where all the rear speakers are in front?

if it's in stereo,should be okay.

just disconnect the center channel to avoid loss of stereo image.
