Z-5500 i not sure, Me & my fren SPECIAL ORDER S730 in Prangin, juz audit for 15min the Bass & SQ good enough to attract passer by.  My fren started   take it on the spot, actually that was my unit he grab it.

I have a Asus Xonar u1, sound better than lappy onboard. u go to control panel > click "sound" > set default which sound device u wanna use.
Nope Nan Yang not more selling Edifier speakers, coz their northern sub distro for AL & they need to focus on their main brand

I get it at SkyZone Enterprise

Nan Yang focus more on Altec Lansing

Speaker is not to see, you must listen brother  Which shop did you pass?

if you like Z2300, more likely you also like the complete version, Z5500.

since u like Z2300, good chance u also like Z5500.

remember, they use different satellites, different subwoofer etc. so its not exactly the same. some ppl would prefer Z2300, while others prefer Z5500.

for me, i never own any logitech speaker before. but probably i wont buy them. although i like the Z5500 control unit only.

i think so. nowadays almost any computer speaker is magnetically shielded. except some altec lansing products are not.
hahaha, i also dont really like Z5500. although i like the remote control part, and some said they offer up to 3 years warranty, which is unique.
either way, if got edifier S750, surely pawns liao... hope also, it passes creative S750 spec. Creative S750 offers much more power than Z5500. just woofer is smaller... if edifier can combine power amp with large + passive woofer, its the winner between these.

99% yes. like i always said, u can google : z5500 magnetically shielded.
it will give u more precise answer.

oh then my mistake. but for a large subwoofer, it has large magnets, thats y it may not magnetically shielded. but who cares? who want to put subwoofer very close to a TV anyway?

i'd place my subwoofer nearer to wall as to spread the bass to the room.

are u kidding me? i cant believe that question comes out...

well subwoofer just vibrate and has strong magnet inside. but its not so dangerous, lethal nor fatal until it K.O. any appliances.
remember the name, its a multimedia speaker, which also meant to be used for computers. if they are dangerous, they would not be allowed by FCC to even come out to the market...

those magnet shield things are for pre-caution only... i have not heard any major issues with it. as for LCD, i dont think LCD is going to be affected by any subwoofer. as for instance, Z5500 and S550 control unit has LCD display. if subwoofer kill them, they wont exist together. im not sure about LCD monitors but i dont think it will be affected as well.

please take a good look at this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X928YKClop8
and also do some youtube views about Z5500, Z2300 all those computers speakers which are popular on youtube.
so many people place their subwoofer near to CPU and i did not see anyone posted a video about how a subwoofer kill their system silently.

at the very least, u can just put the subwoofer far from everything.

but seriously, all my handphones, mp3 player, cd player, all those things did not spoil although placed near subwoofer.
just dont be too paranoid about these things. try google and youtube.

He like to ask every single detail include the unlogical one. But i do hope he will buy a speaker after spending so much time for asking that many question.

Z5500 sub is not shielded... most big subs arent. The magnetic field can dmg ur hdd or crt. Vibrations wont dmg anything, wont even make ur cup fall off the table. But you still dun want it to be near your cpu, vibration when you play a cd may be bad news for SQ. (Jitter?)

lim is still learning so funny questions may come out at least he want to learn But i hope you buy your speaker soon, then the real fun begins. Dun forget to put sound card as a future upgrade as it is a must!

not necessary. u buy the Z5500 first. if not satisfied with the sound, can spare some money to buy soundcard. i suggest u buy the Z5500 first.

because, u need to get the speaker first, and explain which part not satisfying. and get a soundcard that corresponds to your needs.

Remember pick a soundcard carefully suit what you need. There are some sound card which doesn't improve the performance at all.

y not just find a shop that can audit z5500 and s550 at the same time then everybody happy lor. the shop owner can get extra sales maybe the buyer can get bulk prices

Of course Lowyat Plaza 

Go for soundcard... cable useless for you as z5500 not as sensitive as hifi speaker. Trust me. I tried Rm300plus cable for it and didnt do anything.
