Anyone please. Thanks

1700bt is mainly for music lovers/audiophiles, its high, mid range is clear, the bass is enough for music listening. On movie & game side, bass it is quite lacking. It is NOT a speaker for games/movie!

M3600D = dont bother at the moment, they have QC issue with the subwoofer. I listened satelite b4. Mid is good enough, but the treble is lacking for music. cant verify for bass since woofer got problem.

At this moment you should look for other speaker like edifier C3X or logitech Z623 for movie. Z623 is a little more on the base side, C3x is better on mid/treble

For music, look for those 2.0 book shelf. For completeness = Take S350DB. It is a complete item. it has better satellite than 1700bt and also come with a subwoofer for bass. For movie/game it is also decent enough.

The S350DB bass is tigther, more suited for music, but doesnt do bad in movie/gaming. It just barely edge out my Klipshch GMX 2.1. So if you are absolute mindless basshead person, IMO it is better to take S530/S730 or those logitech speaker.

Note: i tested all these on show room myself. But for S350db & Klipsch gmx 2.1 = I own these speaker.

Ahh, thanks for the enlightenment. Too bad the price for the s350db just increased back to RM1k+, else I would have gotten it during the sale. Will have to settle for something less . How about the M3600D? How does that compare to the E25HD? Would love to hear your feedback between the two.
*

you can try your chance again on 12/12/2017 lazada sales.

getting M3600D is a huge downgrade from S350db. S350Db clarity is like night and day when compared to M3600D

Thanks for the feedback. Will try and see what does black friday have to offer and also 12/12/2017.

Yeah, it is a no contest between the s350db and m3600d since the price is almost 3 times the difference.

My only concern is that I may not be able to truly utilize and appreciate the clarity in the s350db as the room I plan to put it in is not big enough to be able to unlock its full potential.
*

thats no concern, infact S350DB is lower RMS power than M3600D. S350DB when tune to max is still large enough for a decent size room. M3600D is even more situatble for large room, or more like you dont mind your neighbour complain about you.

S350DB clarity start even on small speaker volume, I think the only concern you have is whether your onboard sound card is good enough to do full potential or not.

even then an onboard sound card with S350DB is still much better than M3600D. M3600D is more suited for gaming and movie.

dont be afraid about budget, one shot go for good one. Speaker usually last very long. I had Altec lansing still working after 17yrs, my klipsch GMX 5yrs+ already.

The only concern you need for S350DB is the speaker driver have no front cover to protect it. ranting.gif

If you got budget, i will recommend you give Edifier S350DB or S360DB a try.

base on that picture seems satelite size is different.

Is 350DB vs 360DB midrange driver different? size diff also?

just take the S350DB, I can vouch for that speaker, infact is pretty much the same as S880DB if look at the driver they used, just with extra subwoofer.

If don't need 2.1, may be take S1000.

I tried s350
Yes. Its very good

I want 880 just because i tot it will look nice having them beside my tv. Being 2.0

But having that sub woofer really help. Really improves the sound. Obviously lol

So yeah. Im leaning towards 350 now

Do  u have 350?
How is it fare when it comes to movie or gaming?
Is the voice clear?
*

yes I own it, movie and gaming is decent. The sub got deep tight bass just good enough not overkill like those lousy logitech speakers, I think when on sale Lazada only sell RM850+ by edifier themselves. you gonna ask ediflier when they do promotion on lazada. (may be even add voucher to reduce further, although I don't exactly know how lazada coupon work lol)

but if you are really into music, dont bother the S880, just hit S1000 for 2.0. If you want 2.1 take my recomendation S350DB.

Wow. 850+[B].that's cheap wei
Ok ok. Thanks

I want speaker for movie and gaming
So what matters to me is Soundstage and how clear the voice is.
Music i will listen with my earphones instead.

ftfy,

check yourself with viewnet. I think they got display both S1000, S350.

although I think viewnet own amp is really shitty, unless you bring your own smartphone test yourselves self via blue tooth connection. Bring your own song also, or spotify whatever suit your or find other quiet shop to test it.

hi all master,

Between s880db and s1000db, does it worth to pay more to get s1000db? any significant differences between these 2 models?
*

Yes. Take the S1000db. Wait for Ediflier sales if u no hurry, they always do it in Lazada.

hello to all sifus here.

i'am searching for a decent speaker for my pc. price range is under rm400 or 400 ish

the speaker will be use for movies, you tube, some games and some music. for games, mostly i used headset. the most important usage is i think for movies.

before this i use sonic gear armageddon 5 (70W) from year 2010 i think. but around 2016, the control panel broke, so i do direct connection and use control panel on the sub only. and now the speaker totally broke down.

at the beginning i want to settle with sonic gear bt2100 sound bar, but then i'm about to choose xiaomi soundbar ,but because the lack of sub woofer i change my direction to sonic gear bt5500 and vinnfier hyperbar 500bt (i've never heard of vinnfier brand before).

but....after a bit of research there are some bad reputation with the sonic gear and vinnfier is a new company.
then im thinking about getting edifier rt1700bt or logitech z607 5.1. but because of the low bass power on the rt1700bt, i'm worried about the movies watching experiences will be affected. about the logitech, ive read and heard bad reputation on their speaker section, also the sub and satelite doesn't have mesh/protection.

now i am looking at the edifier XM6BT , the price is good. i can save a lot. but the watt produce is low, will it be match to my older sonic gear armageddon a5? i am also looking at the c3x, but the price is over my budget.

so, there are any other suggestion?
thanks in advance and sorry about the long story.
*

1700bt dont have enough bass if you compare with 2.1 If you want 2.1 can try C3x or M3600D

or R2000DB (this one is like RM550+ to 590), R2000DB bass is actually quite good for a 5" driver, infact bass is stronger than S1000.

and if compare between c3x with r2000db, which is better all around? from looks, i like r2000db .but what about the performance and sound quality in your opinion?
*

R2000db beat all of them in sound quality. The bass is lacking compared to C3x tho. But R2000db bass is strong enough for music. If you wanna buy 2.0 speaker for music, buy the R2000db. It got far more bass than 1700bt
QUOTE(fazreyl @ Apr 28 2020, 08:21 PM)
thanks for the insight. that should clear up my confusion.
now its either i wait for the m3600d to arrive or up my budget and get the c3x.
*

How far you can stretch your budget? if you got enough for S350DB, you go for that. That speaker is pretty much perfect speaker already for low budget.

also as Power911 said Z623 is terrible, I personally listened myself. That thing is just so bad.

I own R2000Db & S350db. Others I got not much experience other than shop listening experience.

Subwoofer and midwoofer size same as s350db, only tweeter slightly smaller at 0.5" vs 0.75"

I dont think below 600. Too cheap for a wireless subwoofer some more.
*

just saw it at Shopee
price at RM999

this is a downgrade compared to S350db.

feels like it should have price at RM749-799
