welcome to the club, i just replaced my r1700bt to r1700bts, but unfortunately, the life span is not 2 decades. more like 3 years from my initial r1700bt. but sounds wise, i think you'll be happy.

Don't throw away your old speaker ya

i didnt. why ya?

Most likely repairable mah
Or just change the amp.

what happen with your old speaker?

lost power. if you know where can fix this let me know? thanks alot.

do you plug in a very very old wallplug or defected extension
or did your house have unstable electric current and cause the speaker malfunction

now thought about that i maybe need get something to stabilize current for my decide too

Most likely capacitor Kong.
Bring to those tv repair shops to fix

yeah seriously speaker average lifespan is how long, sounds like roughly 4-5 years....

urm the same extension is powering my current r1700bts now. i guess its the old speakers faulty though.

yeah, heard that some enthusiasts really like "cleanse" the electricity for pure sounds, but dont think is necessary for such setups.

i think it really depends, my xm6bt still solid since 2018.

any recommendations?

Should last forever. 20 years no issue

I'm currently using s530db and was wonder if going to S350 or S351 is consider an upgrade. My S530DB is pretty bassy at time so I want something more balance.

I listen to both side by side. Idk if it'll sound "upgraded" or not since either does something better than the other.

I felt that the S530D sounds more "raw and unedited" so whatever you give it, it will play anything you give be it rubbish or quality
The S350DB has a "digitally tuned" sound where it will shape the sound to sound better similar like how phone camera with noise reduction and filters to make it sound better.

S530D imo is a more warm sounding speaker with limitations where bass cannot go deep, treble cannot go higher while the S350DB I tested is a more wider spectrum that hits both highs and lows better.

I never tested with meters but S530D sounds "louder" and more capable in a living room tv setup while the S350DB started to sound compressed before it reaches the same loudness.

S530D definitely runs warmer with the older amp while the modern S350DB with the new amp runs cool even when running loud for an extended period of time.

Wow the new version price increased a lot.

5 years ago bought the r1700bt for Rm350 only. But that time lazada also very generous with vouchers.

Still alive and kicking. Now wondering which model to upgrade to that'll impress me.

Which platform did you get the rm850 price on?

I've been using the r1700bt for 5 years. No real complaints with it as I'm not an audiophile.

Did you find the s351db to be a significant upgrade from r1700bt?

Change to speaker with bigger main drive, 5.5" or 6.5".
The s351db should also give better sub-bass, but the sub placement is very important.

On lazada
1111 was even cheaper

It is miles and miles better than my friend's 1700

The clarity and bass is on another level
