i think he means that the midrange is 4ohm while the tweeter is 8ohm. Generally the higher the ohm, the harder it is for the amp to drive it. so with 8ohm tweeter, the treble will sound softer than the midrange I GUESS. correct my if i'm wrong ;p

also m3400's treble depends a lot on your sound card and source. what sound card u using?

cuz with my old sound card, it sound like no treble at all. with my modded audigy, i can say the sound is near m3300sf (the not so "sharp/bright" m3300), which is a big difference.

m3400's woofer back plate got no heatsink also unlike other edifiers, if you can add some high efficiency heatsinks it will do much better ; )

WTH what you are doing sitting that far away from your laptop?? listen music? Don't tell me you are watching movie

which one better m3500 or r501 mkII? for gaming and movie..thanks

R501 Mk2 because it in R class = exclusively for 5.1 while M3500 is from 'Mainstream' class which the sub or satellite have been using by other 2.1 model too.

sit infront the satelites to listen is not that ideal for listen the potential of speaker

In audiophile world , we call that sitting position as ''皇帝位'' ( seat of King)

guys, im going to upgrade my speaker ~
pls recommend me a speaker wif bangbangBom bass ..
my budget is around rm400

Haha, these speakers are so big, the S530D one is so small only, some more you're using lappy man, I wonder how you can watch it clearly if you were to sit far far away from them...

unfortunately, cant...
do u see the silver colour part on the satellite?
that front part is made of plastic and around 10% of midrange driver is sheilded by it...
+ there is a space exists in front of the midrange driver that leads to reverb of sound...
so the sound come out from midrange is not that ideal...

for music or movies??

Added on July 7, 2009, 1:26 pmdun notice that before...
but it is really a problem if the designer dun overcome it....
i think the treble will become weaker since larger current needed??

@maxwelx64 - for music especially.. but let say it's for both music and movie. then how?

also guys, any Edifier S530D owner here?

will recommend u the S330 if u use for music majorly...
and it can handle the movies too although it is weaker than the speaker special for movies...
u can adjust some EQ to get better performance when u wan to watch movies...
lastly, the most important point is sound is different definition for different people...
go test it and compare, then choose the most satisfied 1...
