sifu andrew.. thanks for the explanation. now i learn something more from u guys im very happy. hmm.. dont know wan to get 5.1 with 2speaker or 5.1 with 5speaker. what do u guys advice if i truly wan to get surround sound effect??

aiks?!?! i no sifu la....haha just sharing what i know. well if u trully want surround sound i guess its better to get a true 5.1 setup because virtual surround will depend alot on the room settings (furniture,room size, and most importantly seating position and speaker placement...etc) of cos some of those really really high end virtual surround speakers will sound better than low end 5.1 speakers. really depends on your ears,i'd prefer something more natural than artificial for my ears to feast on

Added on September 20, 2008, 9:31 pmin that budget....edifier m3300 has quite good clarity and dynamics but lacks depth/intensity for the bass, it will b good for softer type of songs, ex.classical, chinese music, celine dion, leona lewis, jay chou kind of songs. edifier m3400 has louder n fuller bass but lacks "presence/crispyness" in the treble zone so its better for techno, rnb, rap which requires heavier bass but u will lose some detail in the music because the midrange sounds rather "harsh". those two speaker stands out in the 180-250 budget. another one to consider is altec lansing vs4121, its better than the other two i mentioned in trance music and movies due to its bass characteristics...the best is to audition those speakers with the same music u prefer on all the three of them n compare lo

haha thanks again for the advice. me myself of coz i prefer natural ones. but can u intro some to me which u think is natural enough..

For computer or home theater leh? Scared in wrong forum...lololol for computer, Logitech Z-5500 or G51... Those are seriously good for movie n games but musically not so good due to their strong bass and somewhat "thin/weak" midrange. No offence to those having those monster speakers they do rock xD ..but that is what i felt hearing those speakers side by side other speakers many times. hehe. if u talking about home theater i guess there are some really really good ones from yamaha and nakamichi.

im talking bout home theater a.k.a for my own room.. so i dun nid too geng ones?? lolz can save abit bit money at least..

i've got a question here. since my lcd tv has so called trusurround and what what nice-sound feature and i connect it to a yamaha receiver.. would this receiver boost my lcd sound quality?

it barely would loh...try to imagine this, no matter how much equaliser or stereo effects u try to put on a handphone's speaker, the difference will be minimal...cause of the speaker size n design. same with the lcd tv's speaker, those technologies are just to help enhance the sound up to a certain extent...it cant be extended anymore due to the physical limitations of the speakers mah... home theater nowadays got quite cheap one yet sound good ...jus pay a visit to electronic store..HSL..Sengheng..Harvey Norman etc...u can find many already.

I don't have a budget yet, because I'm just thinking of getting a 5.1 set. I'm using a laptop anyway, I just love music and it'll serve useful since I'm a music-oriented person.

If it's possible, I would like suggestions from the high-end, mid-end and entry level speakers I could get.

Oh, and please, may I have the cheapest and best for its price range?

I'm sure the pros can handle this. =)

Before anything else, thank you for even reading my post.

allrite brother andrew. what i nid to get now is a good lcd tv for superb viewing and an receiver to enhance them..

m3300 has sweeter sound if compare with Armagedon,if u love clarity and u listen song most of the time,m3300 is a good choice.

Hey, I was thinking about buying either the Edifier M3300 or the S330, but both those speakers cannot plug into my iPod, right? Are there any good speakers out there that I can use for both my iPod and laptop? My budget is under 400RM.

Thanks!

bro,why cannot plug into ur ipod leh? ur ipod dun have 3.5mm jack ? ,these speaker has AUX port which allow u to conect ur mp3 player such as ipod to it .

The M3300 & S330 can use with iPod. The only drawback is it cannot charge your iPod while u play the music.

s330 have both u wan try test it

Hello,

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask. I am planning to buy a 5.1 channel speaker system. However, as i know the sound card needs to be 5.1 compatible(like support 'multi-channel'?), but my ThinkPad R61i comes with an integrated sound card(the driver is SoundMax). Can anyone guide me as how to find out if my sound card can support 5.1 channel? I know little about speaker system. Thanks.
