for me, adding a tweeter doesn't make the sound warmer... but just to compensate on the "loss" of high frequency on Z-560 satellite... |

Yeah..i believe Z560's high frequency sounds more like above mid frequency rather than high frequency

I tested my Prodigy with my friends Z 680. After tuning and listening the sound is bassy when it comes to techno and rave tracks. - Well it also performs quite well for classical songs but if there is a sudden bass in the classical track the logitech sub drowns the mid and high range no doubt. It is the speaker prob and not the sound card. - I also had a sound card shootout of my own with my friend between the Prodigy and Revo .Our conclusion was : Gaming : Prodigy better than Revo anytime Music : Both the sound cards performed well. The Prodigy more bassy and hard I would say while the Revo was much `softer` and balanced. So the Revo is better but only slightly. ( You would need a gud speaker to hear the differents though ) Movies : The Revo and Prodigy are tied for this one. Extra Notes : Well Prodigy does however something up it's sleeve. If you a DJ wannabe Prodigy should be your choice cause the coaxial output and input enables you to record and plug to really powerfull amps. - I was at party and I was the DJ I plug my Prodigy to this amps that powered 4x400 W subs and 4x300 W speakers. If I did not have Prodigy I might have been able to plug to the amp with coaxial cable straight from the comp it took me about a week of listening to the 2 setups to hear the differents and conclude the shootout on the 2 cards.

Hi Everybody!!!
I finally received my fully modded Echo Mia Midi sound card from the US. My first impression is: wow, it's simply very clean, detail sounding and nothing short of amazing compared to my Audigy2. If any of you here is interested to find out how the A2 compares with entry level audiophile card (especially a fully modded one), I will try my best to do the comparison in a week or two!!! Cheers |
