I get a chance to test HCS5640/C6 and compare it with DA5000pro at ALL IT yesterday. I was testing it for one hour and I asked the sales person to mute all other speakers because there was no other customer and I told them I'm very serious about buying one of it. So it's fair to say I'm satisfied with the way I've tested it. The result? In terms of sound produced I should say Da5000PRO wins hands down. For me it produced much cleaner sound and it's long throw sub is better than the normal cube HCS5640 sub.

The material for both speakers sets are different; Natural wood for HCS5640 and Complete MDF wooden cabinet for Da5000pro (Sorry if the infromation is wrong).
From what the ALL IT sales person said to me, MDF can help produce a better bass sound while Natural wood can help produce a more natural sound. Also, he said MDF is better. I'm not adding anything, this is his exact words and sorry again if I helped spreading wrong information.

In terms of price, DA5000pro is RM100 (RM699) cheaper with more powerful Satelites and subwoofer, better material,  but lack of external Amplifiers. It's your call. If it's me, Da5000 pro for sure. But picking a sound system is a subjective thing, so I advise you to go test it for yourself before you buy it.

My brother want to buy Da5000pro also. But he planned to put it in the living room. Can the speaker set be used in such a big place? (It's not very big, but still it's a living room)

I did another test auditioning both the S730 and the S330.To my ears, S730 wins by the slightest of margins.So, i'm really thinking of getting the S330 or if there are other newer products,then might consider them as well.

Btw, i'm connecting the speakers to my laptop.Should i go for the "D" or not?

What do u mean by an external sound card?

The laptop i'm going to buy has this "Integrated CREATIVE Sound Blaster® X-Fi MB Audio Software Solution".Is this okay?

No limit    Saving now to upgrade. 1K?
I see S530 and S730 are Edifier upper range. Is the difference in quality worth it? Or get a bookshelf? 
Love the E3100 vocal, but the bass quantity is not enough in proportion to the vocal. Eg. Cymbal and bass guitar too soft.
Using E3100 for music ( looking for better one ) and movie ( good enough to me ).

unboxing my Edifier C3 now!!!!

One word- AWESOME!!  

On the downside,the subwoofer is such a let down.Extremely weak....in fact weaker than my previous speaker set And the bass is already maxed at 9...Even my dad says the bass is not good..It has quality but so weak

I know before buying that its woofer is weak.....but certainly not to the extent of being this weak

Can external sound card like Asus Xonar U1 solve the bass problem.Perhaps it can improve the bass power

Am i having a defective subwoofer??How to test?

hi,.. wondering if anybody ever heard about connecting a ipod or a player to a c3?

Might I ask, If i were to get the E3100/M3300, is it worth pumping an extra ~RM180 for a C3 for casual listening?

*Edit:
If i were to use any of the speakers stated above and connect them directly to a laptop, would there be a significant change in audio quality if i were to use the intergrated soundcard compared to when purchasing a separate soundcard?

In short, do soundcards cause significant differences in audio quality?

So what you're trying to say, good sir, is with the same sound card, the better speaker will still sound better than the inferior speaker? Also, might I ask if it is possible to upgrade the sound card of a laptop? Because the speaker would be usually connected to my laptop.

I'm trying to find for a set of 2.1 speakers for my room. Will use it mostly for playing music i guess. I also do watch series and anime using it. I initially i set a budget of RM300 for a set of speakers but after reading how "epicly awesome" C3 is i'm tempted to purchase that instead.

As for the types of music i listen to, i would say Blues, Jazz, Classic Rock and Alternative Rock, stuff ranging from Ray Charles and BB King to White Stripes and Radiohead. What's your take on this? Do you think it's worth getting C3 or should i just stick to E3100/M3300? Anyway if i were to get any of these i will most likely not get a sound card, going to stick to the stock sound card.

may i know what the different between DA5000 and DA5000 pro?

by midrange what do you mean?and i dont really understand the brightness in audio talk.hehehe.it seems like those 2 are my option for now.im just concerned that, since the price almost the same..r501 have more satelite..then the quality shud be lesser since the cost more to have 5 satetlite.lol.

Agreed, S330 is bright and slightly muddy. The location of the woofer and material around the woofer (wooden floor, wooden table etc) will determine it's sound, muddy or tight or thick or low. The problem is there is no treble control for the satellites, so you cant really "match" the sats and woofer when the bass is too boomy or light etc...

Went audition kao kao di, planning to get one of them soon ; )

ic.thx for the explanation guys =) so if im buying the r501..i should make sure to get the r501mk2 version rite?this one will have the 2 way sat yea?
