S330 is around RM390 ++ , jus little bit pricier than C3. Strongly recomend u take S330 for better sound quality. The build quality and appearance of S330 is very nice oso, glossy true piano paint, and solid MDF wooden . If compare side by side with C3, S330 will win easily .

S530D will cost u starting from RM680 depend on shop

**at default setting , C3's bass is quite soft and loose . U need a good Soundcard and some tweak to the EQ inorder to get better bass . Treble of C3 oso not that nice compare to S330

----------- Just for reference , no offence

Not recomend u buy Edifier speaker in shop like Harvey Norman , the price usually much higher than pc shop

S330 is better than C3 in sound quality and build material , dun wory bro , it is worth , i even call it as the best speaker at the price range.

C3's brother is called HCS2330 , that one is around RM280 +/- , but if u have budget , seriously recomend u buy S330. No regret one

Added on August 8, 2009, 10:48 amPrefer 2.1 or 5.1 ? If 2.1, S530D is recomended for u. If u wan cheaper, S330 at RM400 +/- Both can perform better sound quality than ur R501 mk2 S530D is the one to go if u want greater bass perfromance.

yeah baby , welcome to the club

DA5000 or the monster S550 @ RM1299

the high frequency from S330 improved a lot compare to the old S2.1D, midrange wise , i wll say the S2.1D is slightly better. S2.1D has stronger bass for movie and gaming , but the bass of S330 is more ears pleasant when comes to music Also , the design of S330 is nicer too .

ya the S530D will much better than S330 in 'mucle' power. Suggest u buy S530D since u oredi own S2.1D , u might wan to 'upgrade' ur ears to higher level

how about Silverstone? plan to get a HTPC casing

good enuff to beat the sonic gear , eacan , etc at same price range

Ur sound card oso helps a lot in produce nice sound

Depend on what speaker u using, same as ching wooi said, if u have a good speaker, it is recomended u get a external soundcard for ur laptop . if u are using speaker below RM300 , i think it is not so necessary for u to buy a soundcard , better save the money and buy a good speaker

fast fast go test la

haha, bro nismo dun too strict on it, judge it based on it's price. I believe it still the best 5.1 in the price range Listen to it once b4 at fren house, although the satelites cannot match with recent product from EDIFIER. but the woofer is not bad , able to give enough ohmmm, haha.. Considered the price, satisfy la

My fren plug only 2 satelites on his R501 so running in 2.1 mode The woofer is really quite nice, even my fren who owning S530D oso say the woofer of R501 can nearly on par with the S530D in certain condition.

Carry S730D alone is imposibble in my opinion

the placement of the woofer also very important
