Hi guys, i am stucked between getting a s360db or r1855db + edifier t5... Which 1 do u guys recommend? I feel r1855db sounds better than the bookshelf speaker in s360db
*
Based on the specs I would get S360DB.
For tweeter, S360DB is using planar which will have more "crispy" sound for 2khz and above, such as cymbals and guitar strings.
For bass, both same 4 inch driver but S360DB driver is 30W while R1855DB is 19W. More wattage can go more louder.
For subwoofer, both 8 inch, S360DB is 75W while T5 is 70W.

Wanna ask if isolation pads are worth the money? Do they really work?

Help to isolate the vibration to your table. It works if your table vibrating because of the speaker.
Can also use yoga block, does the same thing.

Thank you very much.
Maybe will consider S360.

How about S2000 and S3000? Worth to get I can top up?
*
Use on living hall or desktop?

S3000 got bigger bass driver (6.5" vs 5.5"), have more lower rumble and bass impact than S2000.
But if use on living hall and need the low rumble from movie, better get speaker with sub-woofer.

Planning to use in living room about 10ft x 10ft.
Using for movies the most. Need to find something to play with USB for music if available. Soundbar do have USB port but bookshelf perform better than soundbar. Will use for more movie usage.

My room use mini ones can already cause table too small to place bookshelf speakers.
*
If mostly for movie, especially action movie, get 5.1 or 7.1 speaker or whatever latest system now. Sub-woofer for the low rumble and center speaker for dialogue.
Want upping your game, get system with Dolby Atmos. Those that got speaker that makes sound as if coming from top.
2.0 or 2.1 sucks if your movie is 5.1 audio, especially action movie. If don't put loud enough, voice hard to hear. If put loud enough, action scene become too loud. Unless your player can adjust the mixing to apply higher gain for center audio.
If not action movie then 2.0 or 2.1 still ok.

Some newer soundbar got impressive number of speaker in it and can give enough distinction for sound in middle (dialogue) and side, plus back and top.

USB for music? As in USB drive with music files? Use bluetooth much easier. If the speaker support APTX HD or LDAC, can go for it to use bluetoooth. Pair it with your handphone or tablet.

Thank you for the detailed explanation.
Any budget 5.1 speakers to recommend? Possibly below RM2.5K?
5.1 got choices with soundbar. See if speakers got choice then I will go for speakers.

I wish to use Bluetooth for it but when phone battery dies then need to charge or must be near the speaker only can play.
Will see if got spare phone to use with Bluetooth.
Maybe I can consider MP3 player.

Will research more before buying during November sales.
*
5.1 speaker or soundbar is quite pricey. Not sure can get below 2.5k
Long time never check about home theater speaker so not sure what is the latest bang for buck speaker.
Can try ask at this thread link since they know more about home theater set.

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.
*
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.

Guys, have you had any speakers where the audio macam come and goes on either the left, right or sub? My Swan H4+H10 has this issue sweat.gif

Feel sayang to change just due to this issue as when it works, it sounds as great as it did when I first got it 8 plus years ago, but when the issue happens....

for example left and right got sound, suddenly left will disappear, and when i unplug replug the left speaker (each speaker and sub has its own power plug) it will come back but go off after a while.

the sub has a crossover switch (like the lever where you can push up and down), if I play around with the switch to find the "sweet spot" every thing will work, but after a while it may happen again. So funny issue which also happens thru phone 3.5m jack so i don't think its related to my source which is a Xonar DX on my PC

wanna bring to repair shop also susah, since overall weight around 30kg doh.gif

Maybe some where there's wire connection that loose.

Try find Edifier S1000DB, sometimes will pop out. Usually can get below 1k

If can get Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 is also good.

Diamond 12.0 (4 inch bass driver) vs diamond 12.1 (5 inch bass driver)
Do you think it will make a big difference in bass? For nearfield listening/desktop
And both 12.1 and S1000DB are huge and tall sweat.gif  sweat.gif dunno if got enough space for table
*
It does, I use before for desktop 4" and then 5", the sub-bass sounds more deep with 5". Or S350 since it is 2.1. If you don't priority much for bass, Diamond 12.0 is what I would pick from the list.

Hi guys, 2k budget on a living room sound system should I get a S3000 PRO or a sound bar?

Mostly drama, YouTube,music, gaming, 1-2 movie a week

If important is music, get S3000 PRO. If all equal or more on movie, sound bar with sub-woofer.

Looking for tiny desktop speakers. Is there a big difference in sound quality between CREATIVE T60 and Creative Pebble V3? (T60 cost double of pebble v3).

Btw I have Edifier R1700BT in living room for many years already, how will the Creatives compare to R1700BT?

Also looking at Edifier G2000 which is also rm300. Like the size but hate the gaming aesthetics tbh.
*
Pebble V3 using 2.25" driver, 8W RMS. T60 using 2.75" driver, 30W RMS. T60 will be better. But both is nothing if compare with R1700BT, it have 9mm dome tweeter and 4" bass driver.

If I were you, I'll upgrade living room speaker and use R1700BT for desktop.

Lazada or shopee got sell speaker stand. Search for bookshelf speaker stand. Some seller have list of different height stand, so you can match with your speaker height and listening position.

Hi guys, I’m looking to buy a good speaker to listen to my vinyl/turntable (AT-LP60BT).

From a quick google search, I found most suggestions between Edifier R1280DB versus Presonus Eric 3.5.

Anyone here who owns either one of these speakers (or both haha) or had experience with it, can share which is a better sound system?

Will be listening in a small living room (condo). Thanks for the help.

I think both is too small for living room. 5" or better 8" speaker more suitable.

stupid question, but are there any affordable 5.1 receivers/eARC amp that is under RM500?

Also check Carousel, more normal seller, not just audiophile. There's also some used hifi shops selling there.
