QUOTE(Jester83 @ Sep 18 2020, 10:02 AM) Hi, i'm very new here and dont know much about audio, unexpectedly got a apair of A300, yesterday. Between amplifier(Yamaha WXA-50) and preamp(WXC-50), which one is better for a300 to connect to? Nice speaker  Like kevinlim001 said, A300 is with built in amp, you can't use external amp to power it. And it even have USB input if you want to connect it directly with pc/laptop/tablet/handphone in addition to other normal input such as RCA, optical, and bluetooth. |

QUOTE(alexloon @ Nov 21 2020, 05:18 PM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « I got my A100 pretty cheap from 11 Nov sale (Less than 1.7k - brand new), so I got the chance to risk/test it. Need another pair of speaker for small living room anyway.
This speakers is producing Balance and Clean sound (It capable to have very tight and wide bass depends type of music source you play), is different from S3000Pro signature, if you interested to know the different .
S3000Pro is exciting for overall use, A100 is a sound separation expert and you can't say the bass is not enough because i can get the similarity rumble low signature from s3000pro (depends how you position the speaker - how near to wall and how wide between the speakers. - I spent few days just to get it right.
A100 sound very clean, good separation and balance (is a good thing for music listening) and particular what hardware and music source you play, this is what I've tested with..
1. Dac (Optical/RCA/Bluetooth input)
2. Direct Bluetooth (iPhone/Samsung Note10+/iMac/Window 10 laptop and PC)
3. USB to USB direct (Nvidia shield Pro - Android)
4. Optical direct (Nvidia shield Pro - Android / Dac)
Result for connection type - This result came out surprisingly huge gap between connection source, kinda sad but it shine when using the right one so I'm glad because I really enjoy every bit of it. The sound is bigger and wider than it looks. I can move it down to bigger hall with it now.
1. USB and Optical - 5/5
- Best and only option to maximise the potential with enjoyable level.
2. Bluetooth - 3/5
- Best go with Android and Window devices. Sound doesn't right with Apple devices.
3. RCA - 1/5
- The fact is I thought it will be straight forward from the Dac(s) source but somehow the speaker did something internally which I don't understand (It has built in Dac and Amp) - it does sound flat, or maybe I done not enough test... who's know.
My final setup for the speakers.
Using Nvidia Shield Pro as a direct streaming media > HDMI > TV
Using Nvidia Shield Pro as a direct streaming media > USB > A100
Using in-apps Tidal (MASTER capable/on board Apps) / Spotify (Shield Direct/Cast/On board Apps) / Plex / Neflix / HBOmax / HULU / Disney+
With this setup I able to cast with any device including Android/Apples/Windows + Google assistance devices for Volume/PlayStop/Next/Back/What song and which apps to play.
Conclusion.
This is a good pair for entry level audiophile pair of speakers for music and not really suitable for movie - If you compare with speaker systems with center piece or sound bar. But it doesn't mean bad, you need to do lots of setup in your media player, for example Nvidia Shield and make sure is purely Stereo output only.
On computer desk use, no problem at all! As long as you don't mind the size.
Cheers.  How do you feel the difference on treble and female voice for both? Since 1 is using planar while another is ribbon. For bass I assume you mean both sound the same? But A100 need some placement fine tune to get the same bass? If just put same place to S3000pro, how does A100 bass sound like? |

QUOTE(zoozooka @ Nov 22 2021, 11:17 AM)  Tested S3000Pro and A300Pro side by side High & Mid: A300Pro is more natural and easy to listen the ears. The sound of S3000Pro is airy, very good at high but slightly weaker on mid(vocal). Bass: A300Pro can go deeper bass than S3000Pro, even though A300Pro specs stated 40-40khz (s3000pro:38-40khz). A300Pro has slightly tighter and cleaner bass. S3000Pro still has very good bass and still beat most of the bookshelf speakers twice of its price. The treble and bass control on A300Pro remote control allows amplification of bass for movie watching. Both speakers can output bass below 40hz, will be surprised at how low the bass go down. Size: A300Pro is ~25% bigger than S3000Pro Conclusion: S3000Pro is already good enough for music, movies For highs only, how much difference between both? Sounds like cymbal, does it sound sharp and crisp? I was considering between S3000Pro and A300. A300Pro is double the price than S3000Pro.  |

Ya I also agree you don't need DAC + pre amp since already have digital connection from source to speaker.
