Guys, I'm using pioneer htib before connect to my PC via HDMI in but it went kaput last year. The sound is satisfying in my taste. Right now I'm using old Logitech x540 I think but recently it has problem like the sound intermittent goes low and normal.
Right now I'm survey for 5.1 system like z906. Is this speaker good? How's durability for this speaker? Has anyone got this system? Please don't suggest me a 2.1 system. Tq

Z906 durability is random. Only a select few will have a volume pod problem that makes low volume and cannot control.
Overall its a good system for startup I'd say. Comes with Dolby and THX approved with various inputs for home tv use.
I don't know what input you can support with your pc. Optical? HDMI? Analog 5.1?

What are your budget range?

idk why you don't want a 2.1 system but

why not explore Edifier lineups?
especially the Edifier S760D. Easily defeats the Z906 with power and clarity anytime.

If you want a slightly budget range, the Edifier C6XD is quite all in one for minimal price.
If you are ok with messy analog wires, you can opt for a slightly budget version of S760D which is the S550 Encore.
Or a smaller system which is the R501TIII

My budget is below rm1.2k I guess. Input wise, analog will do, hdmi is a great bonus. Pioneer htz323bd eol I can't find anywhere.
C6xd will do as z906? I'm using for watching movies, playing games and maybe 10% listening to music as I rarely do. I like logitech z906 because not space eater and looking nice but I contemplated about durability as many said got problems after warranty expired.

Definitely can't defeat the logitech Z906 if you compare C6XD there. Overall I'd think the top end is fine but the subwoofer is going to be missing out a lot.
But if you said analog connections are okay then the R501TIII or DA5100 will be a fair comparison to Z906. At least that has a more full overall sound.

Alternatively you can opt for a standalone av receiver to connect your existing pioneer setup. At least can make full use of your old speaker instead of buying more speakers if you still have em.
Denon AVR-X250BT would be around your RM1.2k budget with both analog and digital/HDMI connection for bypass.
Definitely not a space saver setup though  sweat.gif

The thing is pioneer htib speaker got 3 ohm impedance ig. Some more the sub is passive. I fear isn't compatible with denon or onkyo entry avr.

Does this onkyo set durable as I read those review stating that not a good for durability? Either wise I can choose entry level denon avr x250bt and use whatever speaker that I have.

Mine connect via nvidia hdmi. My onkyo ht395 has many preset as Dolby or neo but I just do direct/passthrough via lpcm and just adjust treble/bass only. Just nice with my ears

laugh.gif I just discussed this few post behind. You'll need a form of volume control to be your master volume to control both your speaker and subwoofer.
Yeah there are drawbacks like losing extra functions like bluetooth or wireless volume remote since there is no dedicated sub out but that shouldn't stop you from adding subwoofer in the future.

I can say Edifier T5 is the most affordable subwoofer I know of so far. :thumbsup:

T5 can hit 30hz?

Which online shops do you recommend for AV gear such as speakers, amps, receivers, etc?

Look for buyers review. Stylelaser, slt, choy, cmy for common merchants available.

I don't have much experience in RM2k pricing but may I know if these is for TV or PC use?

if TV I had a wishlist of buying Sony SS-CS3 towers for my home use paired with my very underpowered NAD302 amp. (Can be substituted with a proper powered amp but idk what to use other than chinese amps)
Edifier S2000MKII is quite highly recommended so far if you don't mind buying Edifiers again. Not as muddy as R1700DB nod.gif Not analytical but fun to hear tuning.

Sony ss cs3 still selling? I'm searched before out of stock everywhere
