So I finally caved in and bought it directly from the Inter-Asia through their main website:
http://www.edifier.com/my/en/speakers/s760...gaming-speakers

Total cost including 6% GST was RM2199. Placed the order on Wednesday night and it arrived on Saturday morning. Quite fast.

I've tested AUX/CD(standard 2.1 stuff) input quite extensively with my handphone and desktop pc(ASUS XONAR DS). Very impressive. The sound coming from the satellites are very clean and doesn't sound muddy. I've tested Dolby ProLogicII as well and honestly I prefer to have that disabled. I also understand why alot of people dislike youtube audio. tongue.gif Music I tested with are  Queen's entire album catalog, Mad Max Fury Road Official Score and Metallica's Ride The Lightning. The only 5.1 input I managed to test is optical. I've yet to test on analog 5.1 and I'll explain shortly why. I was curious to hear how DTS Connect/Interactive would perform with my games and movies(VLC). I've only tested with one game only for now and that's Mortal Kombat X. It performed quite admirably. The sounds of bones being shattered, flesh being ripped apart and and other miscellaneous things all sound perfect. The story cinematics utilize the full 5.1 pathways(the usual center for dialogs, side/rear for items behind the camera, etc.). For movies, I only tested with Mad Max Fury Road. Within a few minutes into the movie I already knew I choose right. It sounds as awesome as it should sound for a movie encoded in 5.1. I can't wait to try out my other movie collections on this baby.

Those were the good parts, now for the bad ones. The store page displays it as RM2099. The email I sent to Inter Asia to enquire if the price is including GST and they replied back saying it includes GST. However, upon adding it to your cart the price changes to RM2199.  rclxub.gif You guys(interAsia) might wanna check on this. Next is the cabling. If you go to the link I pasted above and scroll all the way down the page you'll see the items that are supposed to be packaged with the device.  You don't get the 6 pieces of RCA to RCA cables and 3 pieces of 3.5mm to dual RCA cables as listed on the page. This is why I couldn't perform the analog 5.1 test. I was about to call up Inter Asia on this but decided not to because in the physical manual itself those cables are not listed. Might want to correct the diagram on the website. While the speaker wires to sub are at an adequate length, the given RCA connector cable, 3.5mm audio cable and optical cable are quite short. I would have preferred if they bundled 5 meter cables instead. Guess I'll need to go shopping tomorrow. Then there's the power cord . You'll need to buy a separate adapter to use with your wall sockets. Last is the warranty card. It's not chopped, however I assume I'm covered since I purchased this directly from Inter Asia.

This short review is pretty much no different than the initial one in this page. Minor issues with the cabling aside, I look forward to hearing more from the S760D. And I also look forward to the announcement for the 7.1 version. brows.gif

Hi. thanks for your purchase and review! hope you enjoy listening to it. I'm sorry to tell you that there are some technical issue regarding the website as the speaker itself cost RM2199 instead of RM2099 shown. Our technical team is working on it. Really sorry about it.

do you mind PM me the picture of the cables?
