Have you heard the speaker? What can you describe off? Not sure if it's the model you mention because when come to Sabah Sarawak, RM 3500 can be up to RM 4000 and above due to shipping.
If you have extra cash to burn, try Aune T1 for Rm460. It's tube DAC with amp. The amp can be used as  pre-amp or in case you jump ship to headphone, you already have an amp. Or get Aune X1 for RM 560 more or less, similar function but not using tube like T1. And share the experience with us. thumbup.gif

Or else DAC only, try from entry level such as T-Muso, UD100 and UD110, a newer version of UD100. I think UD110 will be release within this year. Based on my experience, there's no way onboard soundcard can beat T-Muso and UD100. I wish I don't have picky ear. Since my ear get "infected", I need to spend more for treatment. doh.gif

Need advice from you guys again. My logitech Z-5500's satelite speakers just died. All chipped and rotted away, truly heartbreaking. Sigh so many years of faithful service.

Anyway, need a recommendation for 5.1 Speaker set. Desk space/aesthetics do not matter. It will be connected to both a TV and a PC, so it's for a gaming and home theater setup. Hopefully it's got enough bass to rumble the walls smile.gif.

Budget's at RM2,000. Can consider if it's a little higher.

Thanks!

no bro..definitely not in the rush..heck, renovation havent even started yet... i would say i can only move in by end Sept or so...

And what's the price range?

But eh, 540w...can it be too much for my 3mx3m corner? i dropped the Pioneer promo set coz i think that one's more appropriate for living room.....

Btw, i read around and saw that even if i am to get the 5.1 like Logitech Z906, playing movies from my notebook, i might not be able to get 5.1 sound..and at certain cases, if the file doesnt support 5.1, i might only get sounds coming out from the front speakers..is this any true?

I have tones of movies, downloaded version if u know what i mean, and i plan to re-watch some of those classics when i have 5.1....but if only Blu-ray can support 5.1, is it any use of getting a Z906? INstead of the normal 2.1 like monster 3 or z623?

I thought it all depends on your software. I'm using pc too to play movies.

Hmm... thanks for pointing me in a direction. Was pretty lost. I forgot to mention that I don't have much place for satellites so a 2.1 or soundbar (maybe) might be good?

What you need, AVR and satellite speaker. done.

Thanks man. I guess I'll start looking around. 1k just for AVR is a little pricey though. The S530D is around the same price right?

No problem.

I don't really know about multimedia speaker nowadays.

AVR with a set of 5.1 satellite speaker system, a bit pricey but it solve all your problem.

Wah quite a journey for you. I've been living with 2.1-s for a long time now. I guess its my turn to take the first steps.

You think I could get an AVR but do without a subwoofer first? Just buy AVR and 2 satellites first. Or without the woofer it becomes pointless?
*
Yes you can without subwoofer at first, I started without subwoofer also but I'm using bookshlef speaker. mostly satellite speakers they come with 5.1 already.

Thanks man. Ok then this is the plan. AVR + bookshelves first since bookshelves got better bass for bigger badder explosions.

yes you could start with that.

Forgive my ignorance, what's the point of having a bigger woofer, esp when the sound qualities of a smaller woofer and the bigger woofer are the same? shocking.gif Unless you mean it's bigger and also better in terms of sound quality. But it's a hundred more leh sifu  sad.gif

Stick with 2.1  2.0 bass really tarak.

You can buy an Asus DX/DGX/DSX (forgot exact model) around RM200+. These are very good for music and gaming already and will complement better speakers nicely.

btw, here's an Aego-M review link.

http://www.trustedreviews.com/Acoustic-Ene...Speakers-review

Probably RM8xx now. You won't find this in computer shop. Can only find in Hi-Fi shop. Last time i bought from a HI-FI shop in SS2, there's a forumner here selling...

Can't remember his nick...Kucingfight or Kucingtiger or something...LOL.
