cuz C3 sounded more 'colorful' than s530 especially the treble part

i see, s530's treble quite dull to me...and very directional and narrow (soundstage)

can i know what brand and model of the soundbar?  To sifus, can soundbar be set to laptops?
for my desktop set, between edifier HCS2330 vs logitech z-506.. which should i go for.. both almost similarly priced.. do i need to get a soundcard in order to maximise the logitech speaker? my setup is as in siggy..

if you have enough budget for sound card, then i suggest you add it into speaker's budget, since this price range speaker wont get much improvement from dedicated sound card

I see. I'm leaving my S730D at home, planning to get it for my house I'm renting in Cyberjaya. I listen to radio friendly songs including Metallica, Skrillex etc. Wonder which should I get. T3's size is good coz it'll will be easier to carry around.

aego m also not that big ah, weight around 9kg vs t3 7.8kg...

but then t3 cheaper than aego m...

Yeah both is small and easy to carry. Wonder which suit mainstream music better. What about HK Soundstick III
*
personally owned aego m, but didnt audit hk s3 and t3 b4,

for me...it sound ok with mainstream music....but not that good for movie and gaming anything u can related with fast and deep bass, then it not going perform well.

even didnt hv chance to audit hk s3, but despite of its specification (1 inch driver,i can imagine sound will quite lack of certain part of mid range, thin vocal, bright) and malaysia pricing, i wont recommend it , unless u like how its design.

edifier c3 ~RM400 or logitech z623~RM46X (if you want more bass and loudness)

Hey all, I'm upgrading from my old Edifier M3300.
My top priority is music then movie , sometime play FPS games only, so I am looking for all around performance speaker. I am not a basshead and my room is quite small,so a powerful bass speaker is nono for me. But i need quality and punchy bass but not quantity bass.

based on the recommendation in front
1.Budget ~RM1400
Audioengine 5 (A5) (music) -popular
Reason: I know this is a very popular speaker for music . The only concern is, is the bass good enough for movies ? I think it is fine if the bass is better than my m3300. but now about Audioengine A5 vs S530D bass ? if they are almost the same, i will definitely choose audioengine a5.

2.Budget ~RM700
Edifier S530D (music, gaming) -popular
Reason: I have good impression on Edifier speaker based my previous m3300. It has good mid and high but not too boomy. I cross out S730 simply because the subwoofer are WAYYY TOO BIG.

the above choices is top 2 so far i like.
So, any suggestion ?
*
For RM700, you also can take a look on Hivi M50w, personally didnt appreciate how edifier s530d sound like...quite flat,bland,dull to my ear.

If you have high expectation of improvement in vocal, then...probably better go 2.0, mostly multimedia 2.1 speaker's weakness...

For 1.2K, Hivi M200KIII ,according other forum feedback, it should at least on par with audioengine 5

For 1.4K, Focal XS Book, which i using now, but i afraid it cant fulfill your requirement on bass good enough for movie...even through broken in...and found it punchy than out of box a lot, but it still cant go any deeper below 6xHz...which mean will loss quite a lot bass detail. but if u did not plan to sell off ur m3300, then u may try connect its subwoofer with those 2.0...try to compensate lower freq...but is that sound matching with ur new speaker or not....is a myth. (anyway i only recommend this....if you only plan use it in near field (1.5M~2M))

for all rounder, just ignore xs book...haha

thanks for the reply , i will definitely look into Hivi M50w and Hivi M200KIII. When i dumped my m3300, i really want to get a decent speaker under Rm1.5k, cuz looking no more upgrade in 4 5 years. Music come first , then movie , but i play music 80%, 20% for movies. Bass doesnt need to be very powerful but be adequate for movie, m3300 bass is weak but just enough for me. So, need a allrounder speaker. But do u know where is the local distributor for  Hivi M200KIII  , somewhere in KL? If it need to be import from China, then it will be out of my consideration.
