Good day Can anyone help out this newbie

I want to upgrade my Soundstick III with a equal or better sounding speakers
not sure about price yet but max RM 800-1200

Use: Music (rock,pop,jazz), Movies (action,scifi)
some gaming (drive cars) but i mostly use headphones for games anyway.

I want a black speaker this time to go with my Alienware Optx monitor and black Pc tower

So far i though of


Edifier spinnaker (like design, and perfect also for ipad)
http://www.edifier-international.com/produ...image/spinnaker
but how good is the sound better,worst or equal to soundstick III?
also i need a subwoofer any cheap good subwoofer to go with it ?

Edifier C3
look good like the red led on volume (i have red led on my pc)
black and red i enjoy

Edifier S730D
perfect except for it look a bit big and would prefer red led instead of blue

Edifier E3300B
does it has bluetooth?
look cool with red led but cheap so not a upgrade for soundstick III

both Spinnaker and EE3300B i could use both for pc and ipad which would be good.

Sound quality must not perform worse than Soundstick 3, can be equal or better
Must be Black, and i do apreciate design.

also is it bad option to go spinnaker if i can get S730D for same price?

Dont have so much experience in telling what sound i like in speakers as i only had soundstick
but in headphones i prefer the sound of Denon D5000 to everything music,movies even games.

realy apreciate your advice

NB! can recomend me other models,brands but i dont like logitech so keep that one out

mannnn your requirement is high lol

The Spinnaker is very good but it is not as good as soundsticks 3 in terms of clean brightness and hard hitting bass
Why do you want bluetooth anyway? all speakers work with pc and ipad though

Other than that you can try out Corsair SP2500, Creative T3 or AE Aego M
I wonder what soundcard are you using

ok so for now is either S730D or Spinnaker (i like good design XD)
real i should maybe get 2 speakers one for ipad and one for pc (but having one for both is best and 730D is too heavy to move around me think for ipad)

I was told bluetooth was best for ipad and didnt know until now i could use the headphone jack on ipad
bluetooth realy just boost up the price so yea not nesesary i guess

I looked at the SP2500 and creative T3 but the design is not my style. Aego M hmmmm not sure
BTW the S730D the store have is the rev.2
How is B&W MM1, better or worse than sounstick III?

Can the sounstick subwoofer be used for Spinnaker speakers?

Oh, and my Soundcard is Asus Xonar Essence STX audiophile

I find the E30 sounds much better compared to B&W MM1
not sure about MM1 comparing to Soundsticks 3... I believe it's not so good

about the subwoofer out in E30 I have yet to test it out. Will try it this friday when I got home

But Spinnaker E30 do come with subwoofer?

What subwoofer is recomended for it and will Soundstick III subwoofer work as subwoofer?
