the ring tweeter on S330 can produce better and dynamic treble compare to C3, C3 sounds abit dry when comes to female voice, i can say S330 perform very good in especially in female voice biggrin.gif totaly sweet and wet .. midrange wise, although C3 has the advantage with its 3.5inch driver, but the 2 inch driver specially develop  for  S330 was not lack behind. Woofer wise, u might impressed when u hear C3 got 8inch driver, but due to the power assign to it is quite low, the performance of the 8 inch driver is ntg to shout out. C3 is more suitable for gaming if u ask me. The woofer of S330 is completely different, it is a dual voice coil 6.5 inch driver,providing cleaner and tighter bass, if u are music lover, this is the speaker for u at RM400 budget . biggrin.gif  There are many S330 user out there and each of them is satisfied with it. u can ask some opinion from them .

Wow..Thank you so much for your oppinion bro. Well, i will be testing it in a week or 2 at LYP. Just wondering which shop have both of them for testing. I have listened to the C3 before and it impresses me. Until i came across a lot of reviews/oppinions mentioning that the S330 is a much better buy compared to C3. Well, i am a gamer + music lover as well. Looking for something that will be good on both sides tongue.gif Anyway, as said, probably gotta test it out myself before making a decision but thanks alot for your oppinion smile.gif

Nice describing... sweet and wet...  brows.gif  brows.gif  thumbup.gif  thumbup.gif

agree on that tho..

I think s330 sounds generally better. I find c3 sounds more sweet than s330 when auditioning it a few times...
S330 for me sounds more flat-ish AT THE SHOPS. Only drawback s330 has is, cannot fine tune the treble level...

Most shop like to put c3 at the bottom of the display rack.

Those speaker at the bottom can use wall behind and the floor underneath as a 90 degree corner to boost the bass. Just like how we put our woofers at a left/right corner...
This time its the floor and the wall behind it create a 90 degree reflector...

And they like to put s330 at chest-level... so the woofer only the back wall to boost the bass. No 90 degree corner. Plus the satellite put so near each ...

haih, can't someone design better display racks ><

Thanks for the oppinion as well. Gotta ask them to put both on the floor to test i guess tongue.gif Does Edifier at LYP allow us to test it? Do they have both models? Gotta find a shop that have both of them to test them out though.

Now, then i have another question. How long do we need to burn-in the speakers?

Well, initial test (before burn-in) was that my previous AL ACS45.1 seems to suit my taste more. Bassy when you need it but also crisp clear. The C3 wise, the bass are not that good as compared to my previous one but treble is good enough for me. smile.gif Pairing it with my Audigy 2 though. Not sure whether i need a better sound card or not tongue.gif

Just play music for about 100 hours at moderate volume should be ok. If you cant do it continuously tats ok too... just use as normal.

as zs said, need time to burn in liao... i listen to my new R501 day by day i realized there are some differences between new and not-new.
that is why sometimes i like to buy second speaker in good condition, because totally burnt already. lol

anyway, the remote, i saw it. its indeed good, because some people like me like to adjust + & - volume frequently. so if one button spoilt, u still have spare button. laugh.gif

Yea, coming to my third day of burning in at the moment. Gonna turn up the volume abit more tonight and slowly burn it. smile.gif Hopefully it does not dissapoint tongue.gif

Well, at first, i thought the remote was so weird, allowing me to control left and right side speaker seperately. Until i realise, they are actually controlling the same thing. Oh well, better than nothing tongue.gif

RMS watt does not really show the potential of the speaker, you need to listen it yourself and judge.

Your budget is limited till where? If vs4121, then better go for m3300.

M3300 already have better RMS watt than VS4121 & better in SQ too.
