Dear pro,

Im in a dilemma at the moment on which to choose between Edifier S760D, Edifier S550 or Logitech Z906 (I have a c3 at home at the moment) (price is not a major factor).

I don't have a chance to listen to Edifier S760D. One of the salesman at lowyat told me that basically the S760D and S550 sounds the same. The only difference is only the Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS. Without these two they would sound the same. Is this right or just some wrong fact being thrown at me?

As to my knowledge, Edifier produces better quality sounds and have more details and separation but less bass, whereas Logitech produces higher pitch and bigger bass.
I watch movie more than i listen to music. so which is better for me?
Will Edifier S760D produces bigger/smaller or the same bass (solid) than logitech z906?
Logitech having 500RMS while Edifier having 540RMS.


I didn't have the chance to listen to both edifier properly as the demo units they have are faulty.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.
Cheers

Many are no longer made there: high-end speaker sets. If you have to spend about 300 euros, the Logitech Z906 is the only option. The Edifier S760D costs twice while on paper the power is similar. Also in terms of functionality and links the two are comparable. However, practice shows clear differences. The S760D is definitely a class better, both in terms of construction quality (including the Z906 is plagued by a mediocre constructed console) and in terms of sound quality. Where the sub of the Z906 is quite present, acts of the S760D is as it should, and the larger satellites put a precise, wider sound image. Even the famous Z-5500 off worst in a direct comparison.

You should therefore have to dig deep into their pockets, but on the other hand, a HiFi sound quality that it provides cost a lot more. Of course your liver in the comparison with the S760D or in ease of use (all connections on the sub with its cable spaghetti instead of a base unit) and functionality (HDMI inputs you do not find on this speaker). Need HD audio decoders and HDMI inputs, then you better look for a home cinema, but then the better sets of individual components, for an all-in-one box of a few hundred dollars is not in terms of representation in the neighborhood the S760D. Did you not needed and you just want the best sound for your PC at which you can use in the living room, the S760D is an excellent buy.

This is clearly a set for a small niche of users, but who will be very happy. We take in any case with some pain in my heart goodbye to these speakers, where the shaky connection to the console is the only plaster on the wound – a sub that you can not put a little out of sight in the living simply not convenient. Nevertheless fits only one award at this superlative speakers: Edifier allowed with gold home.

Thx everyone for the tips.

Have anyone of you heard the actual set? Is the S760D bass comparable or superior to the Z906?

Edifier S760D's bass definitely better than Z906, it used passive radiator tech.

760 subwoofer not loud or soft. it has plenty kick if meet the right position. and null when put wrongly
u may not know yet. room affect spk very much.
i would say 760 perform better than 906 in small medium area, but definitely not big room where the spl is required to fill up space
