I tried this before at an Apple shop, however I was not that impress. Maybe because the shop was noisy and I couldn't test it properly hmm.gif

squeeze for Edifier S530D or Corsair SP2500 or Harman Kardon Soundsticks III or Creative Gigaworks T3 or AE Aego M

or maybe upgrade your Edifier C3 to C6 (aka HCS5640) brows.gif
Edifier DA5000PRO oso not bad wink.gif
*
Hurmmmm, C6 looks good. Upgrade to 5.1 would be nice. How much is it btw? Performance for music is the same as C3? So now it's S530D vs C6 sweat.gif

what I've recommended there is around RM700-800 range for your ease.

Performance wise of C3 vs. C6
C6 performs better overall especially in terms of subwoofer power and crisp clear refined trebles (unlike C3 plastic sounding trebles)
I tell you the mids are thick and full of power biggrin.gif

S530D on the other hand, performs differently (in a good way)
*
I see, thanks for the explaination. How does it perform in terms of 5.1? It's good for movies and games I suppose. Is it far off from S530D?

I don't know about performance in 5.1 but

HCS5640 can work very well for bassheads (recommended for FPS games or rumbling movie explosions)
you can set the HCS5640 speaker/subwoofer ratio to reduce the volume on sats and increase SW and overall volume, giving out more powerful subwoofer depending on situations like movies and games
almost as powerful as logitech speakers but with tighter bass
you can almost mute the satellites and leave only the sub bumpin hard and vice versa if you want only the satellites to work
the S530D can't do that much for bassheads... satellite power maybe a little too powerful sometimes (only sometimes) leaving the subwoofer weak and useless on large areas (I didn't really cared much about this part though)(it performs well with games too)
but do note in terms of clarity I'd prefer the S530D over HCS5640. So test it out first before getting one if possible. icon_rolleyes.gif

Thank you for the explaination bro! Really appreciate it. One more question, how's the bass of the S530D compared to the weak one of C3? I'm looking for clarity, yet with the bass there smile.gif

much more powerful compared to C3 with instant win...
you get double the bass, subwoofer and satellite bass rclxms.gif

(might get muddy if satellite got bass but meh, I like how it sounds this way biggrin.gif)

I see, better clarity as well? smile.gif

Still in dilemma tho, upgrade to 5.1 or stay with 2.1. Haha. C6 will give me the same signature with C3 eh?

The Hub, Viewnet got those speakers if i'm not mistaken. Don't forget to checkout at All IT and Sri Computer also  icon_rolleyes.gif

Thanks icon_rolleyes.gif I think I'm gonna go for the S530D soon. It's twice the RMS power compared to my C3. Hopefully it's gonna be a good and satisfying upgrade smile.gif

Guys, currently I'm using Edifier C3. I decided to upgrade, was looking at the Edifier S530D, but forgot to ask for other speakers. Which is recommended under RM800? Especially with good bass hmm.gif

ask your ears.

my choice, Edifier S530D... but that's my choice and I may be biased because I like Edifier tongue.gif

I see, I love the C3 too wub.gif Will be spending twice the price of the C3 so expecting twice increase in performance. Will get a soundcard too, now only using on-board card doh.gif

Hurm, I guess I can't go wrong with Edifier since I'm loving my C3. Probably my C3 helped me decide that I should get the S530D sweat.gif

Meaning you placed it wrong, the placement now is for you to sit 2meter away. Try and move around the woofer smile.gif

Hurm Logitech Z623 is THX-certified. Should be good, I guess? hmm.gif

@bulibulizaimon

What's your say on the Edifier S530D? Worth it if I upgrade from my C3?

Going from built-in sound card + C3 to Asus Xonar D1 + S530D hmm.gif

That will be a huge upgrade from your previous system. Also, that will burn a deeper hole in your pocket.
