To me Sony and Samsung is not really real hifi, tho they branded themselve that way. Thats why some ppl like to refer to real hifi as high end audio i think.

Z5500D never had a problem with the pod in 3 yrs.

Dude, he wanted high end. Tats entry level la.

I suggest Dynaudio MC15 powered speaker and the matching Dynaudio Sub 250MC.

Anyone recommend me SC or DAC for stereo music only? Budget RM1000

his budget 200 only haha. But i woudnt recommend for music user. Only Gaming/Movie.

Aiks how you know? You spy me?

Danger like that...

Well i guess that the pioneer model he have maybe is not very good. In that case, the Z5500 could be better.

Z5500 is a good speaker! But it does not shine in music. I use Direct Stereo Mode, built in driver of PSC805, foobar2000, volume 40%, sub 2 and 1/3 bar. It took me 3 yrs of listening to arrive to this setting. But my hifi easily pwn it, but ofcoz cant compare like that cause the price difference is too much (return to topic as this is pc speaker thread). Z5500 lacking clarity of what i have heard from edifiers and realism of instruments. Tho soundstaging is excellent

Z5500 is better for games and movie as it really has the bass for that boom effect.

Just my opinion so dun flame me, im also a Z5500 owner and i love it

Just use ur speaker as usual, dont really need to put effort into burn in. After some use, ur speaker will reach its optimum working state. Dont need use pink noise. Just ur regular music. If ur in a hurry, just let it run continuosly for 24hours then it will be fine. As for volume, use it at your comfortable listening level, dont wanna disturb others in the house, then when there are no one around then maybe u can crank it a bit above normal listening level.

There are a few school of thought but to me, a speaker shud sound nice even before burn in and better after burn in, but for speaker, i dont experience much difference after letting it run for a day. But for IEM, i do feel mine changed after 100 hours and pretty much stabilise after that. I have heard a audiophile tell me he only buy used speakers cause he says it saves him 1 year of burn in

My ears cant detect it on my speaker... but wont surprise it will be smoother. Maybe my audio memory not well and maybe cause i try out too many pc speaker till forget.

Perhaps my audio memory poor and also i listen to a very wide genre of music But logitech is not very good in clarity anyways.... maybe thats why.

I think the vibration wont effect it much. More risky is the magnetic interference subs give out which means that you cant put it near HDD, PC or TV. If you look at other HT sifu's pics, they dun really put vibration absorbers for their PS3.

Rear surround should always be above ear level. Never aim directly. I have seen my friend HT where he mount his surround above the door.

I think, in the long run, it would be a good investment to up your budget more bro.

Guarentee you will be more satisfy. Instead of later regret.

I have play PS2 in 5.1 thru optical on my Z5500, let me tell you... nice.... wont regret.

You have to go see for yourself. Do some scouting

True... the lost details cant be heard on the Enzo anyways even with good cable.

Somehow i feel lack of tweeter in Z4 is actually a bad thing, so i vote for edifier.

VS4121 the bass is not tight at all.

My sub hole also aim to my table with 2 inch clearance... space constraint otherwise would move to right side table....

my L and R is beside my 22inch... and CPU is on table beside R speaker... i move cpu to table from floor and i feel this is bad causing a lot of reflection and make me feel i listening to music in a tunnel... and harsh treble....

previously i put L and R to extreme edge of table + cpu on floor... 1.3m apart... lovely...

this weekend im gonna reposition cpu again... so can spread L and R more....left of table occupied by my new amp, tat y i reposition....

Just got back from KL, tried some Edifiers.... I dont know why ppl can complain Edifier bass lacking cause... i feel its already a lot even flat setting lol

Edifier is more my taste then logitech (too loose)

Razer Mako, i saw the box... not even gave it 2nd look haha

No joke the weight.

The weight is not indicator, but from experience, s730 bass is tighter....
