ohh..sorry, I mean if compare S730 vs S360DB in term of bass of course. Does watt count play any role? 300w (S730) vs 150w (S360DB)

watt alone doesn't do much unless it say watt rms. Then yes the bigger the rms wattage the louder it is.

Listening to the unit is still better than looking at specs. I would go for a lower wattage speaker if it performs louder than the higher watt ones.

But really watt is just power. It doesn't tell how good it sounds. And thankfully Edifier top of the line series has a frequency graph to refer to if you can only compare by specs.

but if you're talking bout S730D bass vs S360DB

S730D is loud and warm bass. A tad bit slow in response but still hard hitting enough for tight bass (partially also due to the dual passive woofers on side for tone)
S360DB has the tightness in it due to the smaller cone size but I personally felt that its response "feels loose compared to S730D" in return for deeper bass response.

Overall S360DB has a wider frequency response and can go way lower in sub bass region but S730D size alone covers the impact needed.
But do remember S360DB obtain its bass kicks from its satellites too while the S730D relies 100% on the subwoofer

I see...thank you so much for your detail explanation. I guess, the best judge is to hear with our own ears isn't?

Ported vs sealed subwoofer is very easy... Ported sub will sound louder with less power. Sealed sub would need much higher power to produce the same loudness as ported but in return, you will get a tighter thumping due to restricted cone movement.

But will you call a passive radiator system "sealed"
Give it a flappy passive cone and its gonna get all looooose

The basis is still valid aka restricting air movement. Do those passive membrane works? No.

power bro, can use s360db for pc gaming or music? was actually considering s350db but saw the newer s360db. i'm currently using logitech Z623.

you can use for gaming but if you're coming from Z623 you'll be missing logitech loud bass.
It'll be way brighter and clearer than you z623 though

so i guess it's not really an upgrade but a change of sound. thanks power bro

Upgrade or not that really depends on your ear. You gotta give it a try to know
I would say there's no regret in paying more for tighter sounds if it sounds good to you

power bro, what speaker would you recommend? i tried looking online for a few days and couldn't make up my mind.

btw, what's your fav speaker to date? or daily usage speaker

Favorite speaker is still the S2000PRO if budget isn't a problem.
My daily driver is Edifier S530D. Still serving me good. Still enjoying it.
My dream speaker that I wanna purchase would be the R2800 for my personal upgrade. But that would definitely need paired with a decent subwoofer if I'm going for movies

Noticed you have an amp connected to the speakers for your review. Will it make alot of difference in terms of sq with and without an amp?

amp? do you mean my tube preamp?

if yes then yea it adds noise into your clean sounding speakers.
better or not I don't know. I like it but I don't use it often. Some find it ridiculous on why add noise to your mix but tube lovers will say otherwise.

As a preamp? The volume on the RCA out was barely any louder than my stock asus motherboard soundcard so yea.

Since this speaker support Hi-Res files, can i know by which input? RCA, Optical and Coax only?

I'm actually contemplating on getting another pair for my gf house, it's a pity edifier no longer produce the R2800

Minor pride as I got 2/3 of the speakers listed by a veteran edifier reviewer like you

R2800? I would not recommend it. I would not explain why in detail but I think a proper 2.0 or 2.1 is miles better than being in the middle of nowhere.

I sold mine for RM450 IIRC. Bought it when Lazada still offer 20% off. Totally no regret topping up another RM400 and grab S730 at edifier warehouse.

s730d aint really a topic changer if I'm upgrading my S530D hahah but I wouldn't mind trading for a S730D

Haha... I'm not recommending you the S730. I'm just saying there's not much in R2800 compared to a proper 2.1 or 2.0 S series.

Is S2000PRO better than S530D?
I not yet make any decision. Mind to share more which good for for music?
