Buy Z5500 for movies and your R&B need, FX6021 for classics

how good is this compared with Razer Mako?

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 speaker sound alotttttttttttttttttt better after 1- 2 month burn in.

If I buy the Z5500 , will it be able to be fully utilized with my creative SB X-Fi sound card?

I think Z5500 can fully utilized all Creative sound card... even Edifier R501 MkII also is enough. Btw, what speaker did you use now?

If I recall correctly its the creative megaworks 5.1

7years liao but it has served me well, until 1 of the satellites spoiled because I dropped it

btw how much does Z5500 cost now?

It's RM1499 now. Happie burfday BTW

thanks~I think I'll go with Z5500 afterall.... creative never disappoints me

Em, Z5500 is logitech xD Anyway, may be you should compare btw Z5500 and Edifier S550 before purchasing.

+-RM1450

s550 - 5.1 / s730 - 2.1

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.

u cant hear new details coming out that u never noticed b4?

Usually after a period of burn in , we will notice that the treble is smoother and the sound is wider, bass was also much more punchy .Of course , all of this can be varied depend on user configuration , such as EQ, speaker placement, source etc.

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.
