Dun listen to the noob above me... he knows nothing of good bass...
Go for clean tight bass anytime... it doesnt overpower the rest of the sound. I have a Z5500 and i use it maybe once a month when im lazy to power up my integrated amps. |

Yes.. listen both. Check the setting the speaker is in. Make sure the demo unit is not crank up the treble or bass setting so u can get a better judgement.

QUOTE(Hou_JaI @ Jul 3 2011, 07:01 PM) for a 5.1 speaker system like z906, how big is the difference of the sound when using an analog cable VS a digital cable? I am using creative XFI titanium which actually has optical out, just wanna know whether there will be clear difference if i switch to an optical cable. Stick with analog better. Cos ur soundcard doing the decoding work. If u use optical, ur speaker control pod does it. But its good to still get the optical cable, cos you need it for DD or DTS (in movies tat support it). For stereo sound in music or anime or sitcom. stick to analog. Dont have to get too high end optical cable as the speaker itself has limitation and u wont really hear much difference.if so, can recommend me a good optical cable and where to get it? and i need to get 2 stands for my back speakers, where can i get that or it has to be customized?  |

Why do malaysia bring in stock from sg... and not go direct to source?
Sg price also reflect the cost to bring to Sg + their profit. Also, im sure they get dealer pricing, which is lower than selling price. |

Did you consider edifier 5.1 range.. 1.5k is a budget which allow you to reach the top model.
logitech more to bass head, also it lack tweeter, furthermore discontinue, i audit its replacement model, quite dissapointed. |

QUOTE(ben3003 @ Mar 27 2012, 11:02 PM) Nice review bro Stratos? i am interested in the clarity, cos even in music, i am looking for clarity and details I think SP2500 will be a good buy for me i will not hand carry it, i will ask my fren to send it to KL sentral directly so i can direct check in at KLIA Ekpress.. but dunno la.. cos it is selling rm799 at my hometown... ><btw, what soundcard is good for this speaker? i got T-muso DAC and i really love it, but it might not perform for gaming and movies usage.. CUrrently i am using xfi xtrememusic, but it is spoiling, need a new replacement.. probably budget around rm300. Is asus xonar dx a good buy? Added on March 27, 2012, 11:10 pmBro, may i know where u bought it? |

QUOTE(vivakarna @ Apr 27 2012, 12:07 AM) for the sound quality i would go for s530d and yess u should buy a decent dac/soundcard to pair with this speaker. why buy 2? also wondering for 4k, why not go for hifi setup?not really an audiophile price, but certainly put a hole on my wallet. LOL can do a mini comparison of the 2 speaker? This post has been edited by dlyz: Apr 27 2012, 08:01 AM |
