Why no one recommend alter Lansing? Is this brand better than edifier?
*
because new Altec Lansing is not as good as the old ones

ok brough this speaker . . . . but now i notice some problem. . . . . in the manual guide it mention better put the bass on floor . . . . but the power button is ON the bass , somemore at behind comparing with aego M . . . . . .
*
it's normal to have more bass if place subwoofer on the floor.

in fact most computer subwoofer have their power button on the subwoofer behind it... making it tough to switch on. It's a normal thing icon_rolleyes.gif

Bro beggarmaster2000,

Regarding the C3 bass, it is very subjective, diff people got diff preferences , for me i feel it is more than enough, may be i'm old smile.gif
*
lols...

in my case... metal songs SUCKS when there is too much bass... that probably explains why I wouldn't mind getting a C3 XD

Even my S530D didn't get full blast on subwoofer haha. Always set everything to zero (except volume of course, which is around 45 at constant)

Ok..now i have 2 options which is either Edifier S730 or Logitech Z5500.. How about other options?? I heard HK SS2 is good in terms of sound quality but lack of bass...Do we have any model which scores good points in term of sound quality(for jazz songs) and bass (for movies and hip hop)??

Another thing is currently i'm using macbook and i cannot pair it with a good soundcard. Does this mean that Audio quality playing from macbook will never beat audio quality playing from desktop with soundcard???
*
other options mentioned was

Edifier S530D
Creative Gigaworks T3
Aego M
Corsair SP2500
Razer Mako

@power911: among options below, which is deemed the best choice??

Edifier S730
Logitech Z5500
Edifier S530D
Creative Gigaworks T3
Aego M
Corsair SP2500
Razer Mako

Another question is Logitech z5500 is 5.1 while Edifier S730 is 2.1. Would it be better if i go for Z5500??
*
Aego M would be my choice...
but that doesn't mean it's your choice. you have to test it yourself to know which one is good

for second question... don't forget about Edifier S550 (it's a 5.1 speaker)

it's based on individual preferences, its best to trust your ears than the other thoughts. For me, i trust 100% on review because they have high end gear and good environment for serious listening,if you go to lowyat, the environment will be against over you and you dont know what kind of sources they feed the speakers. So the outcome of audition will be vary. The most important is, if your taste in music sucks like me atleast according to beggarmaster2000  laugh.gif  i recommend you to trust established reviewer.  icon_rolleyes.gif

haha that fool tongue.gif

mind to explain more on the functionality for S530D and SP2500?
I normally using it for music and occasionally for gaming...

thanks!

S530D have all the basic EQ functions like volume for Bass, Treble, Subwoofer (and even LCD backlight contrast XD)
S530D got both wired and wireless remote thumbup.gif

Corsair SP2500 got more functions other than the basic ones mentioned in S530D
useful sound enhancers like late night and karaoke are the best imo, others enhances the sound into fun purposes just to show off only tongue.gif
I'm not sure about the Equalizer part... but I think it has 5-6 bar custom EQ that you can tune it yourself to your taste (correct me if I'm wrong)

wired remote included but unfortunately no wireless remote (well it's not useful anyway)

@power911

no, you cant tune the EQ there is fixed EQ such as classical,pop,jazz,mod x,action,drama??,FPS,action gaming,headphone and reference(no EQ).

and according to manufacture, corsair at its best when you pair it with hi end SC and classical EQ.

owh okay

and that soundcard thingy, that actually applies to any speakers XD (soundcard must always be better than the speaker)
if not later your high end speaker amplifies all the rubbish clicks and pops from your crappy soundcard icon_rolleyes.gif

my budget = around rm300
use of speaker = attach to my PS3
current speaker = normal TV speaker
room size = small room
recommendation speaker = 5.1 (prefer logitech)

please help me to find suitable one.
need to buy it.

Edifier M3500

but if you can top up till RM400 you could get Edifier R501 MKII
the best you can get for cheap.

logitech is only good if you're going to buy the expensive range, the cheap ones are so so only wink.gif
