QUOTE(Razzd @ Feb 3 2009, 02:34 PM) Audiophiles will agree with me, good systems do not require treble & bass adjustments. If there are such adjustments (e.g. Audyssey Dynamic Volume, Audyssey Dynamic EQ or Calibration on the new Denon receivers), the primary purpose for equalization is to cater/compensate for room anomalies, and not to "enhance" the bass & treble. Having more drivers do not necessarily guarantee 'better' sound. It is better to have ONE good driver than many mediocre drivers. Take the famous Thiel CS1.6 or CS2.4 speakers. There isn't any midrange driver on the CS1.6, yet the sound emanting from it is truly remarkable. I have heard Thiels before, and by God, that will be my ultimate purchase! Truly perfection. What about Edifier C3??? it also have treble and bass adjustment. I thought all PC speaker have bass adjustment? This post has been edited by Angel of Deth: Feb 3 2009, 08:13 PM

QUOTE(Wolf516 @ May 16 2009, 10:44 AM) 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?

QUOTE(wen9x88 @ May 19 2009, 01:37 AM) is there z5500 showroom?I want go feel the speaker.. btw what do you guys feel the edifier c3?I just many users say this speaker nice..... but I don't think so,my ear problem?setting problem? btw I want go test others speaker,where can test? Maybe you're basshead...actually C3 not bad, just because you feel the bass weak. But if you can find the spot properly C3 bass is suifficient, you can try plug it to your TV or DVD player and you'll blown away by it. I wonder why my C3 sound better when using it wih my PS2 rather than my PC? is my Realtek ALC888 really suck?

QUOTE(amduser @ May 20 2009, 08:47 PM) seems like most of you here recommend edifier, sonic gear and altec lansing really that bad?  anywhere i can test the speaker 1 by 1 ar? i prefer lowyat plaza Sonic gear is good at bass, boomy but unaccurate and also uncovenience if i not mistaken it doesn't have RCA connector...Altec Lansing is good but you need >RM500 for high quality model. Why not try Aego M if you want something different. As i know every PC shop which sell speaker allow customer to test the speaker before buying.

QUOTE(amduser @ Jun 1 2009, 09:37 PM) rca to rca? then if the speaker mount on the wall wont it will be weird? the rca jack will push part of the speaker against the wall  then how about the input? the input there got center, sub, Fr, Fl, Sr, and sl  but since it got optical i dont think i have to worry much on the input I suggest you go look for the speaker with your naked eyes, that will satisfy you and help your understanding more..

QUOTE(chingwooi @ Jun 14 2009, 09:13 PM) It's weird that you say ur graphic card is preventing you from installing soundcard. I thought there's quite a distance between the 2 slots on the board? Actually yes, GC with big fan/heatsink can block the PCI-E (the small one) port if the port is located beside/right-side the old PCI port. But some mobo put the small PCI-E on the right side of the PCI-e x16, so it wont block the port no matter how big the GC it is because most of fan/heatsink is located at the left-side of the GC.

QUOTE(amduser @ Jun 18 2009, 10:56 PM) it seems like i wont get any better sound quality using car speaker, maybe will bring over the speaker at my hometown, its been abandoned at there for almost half a year since after i came KL to study it is a Creative 2:1 speaker, all plastic casing, and the woofer not really strong enough, and with plastic casing, the bass are very loose. Why not use studio monitor instead of car speaker for better SQ?? But of course the cost is higher than PC multimedia speaker.

QUOTE(amduser @ Jun 19 2009, 12:41 AM) that time i go lowyat plaza and search, all say no stock, only got display set and not for sell, actually i want to test and see the sound quality. when i point the edifier to my mom, she say wahlao, so damn big where got place to put  only the subwoofer is a bit big, then say this say that when i point to enzo 5000, the woofer size almost the same as enzo 7000, still complain big, and say no place to put, and say need ask people to help us install  i install myself also can lar  I really think Enzo 7000 is good choice for movie and games. Just look at the RMS. Do you put your PS3 at living room??? No wonder any mother would object if they see unnecessary (for them) thing that take a lot of space especially at the living room.

QUOTE(amduser @ Jun 25 2009, 08:14 PM) just now i try to connect red and white to my 2:1 using the Y splitter to convert red and white to 3.5mm, surprisingly, the sound quality are not as good as i connect to the TV maybe is because of HDMI and RCA?  Maybe and check your SC too. I also feel the same thing.

Added on July 6, 2009, 7:42 pmIf you don't mind lifting your budget, s550 would be more better than these two  But off course the price is far from your current budget. And probably far from his room size.
