Klipsch GMX 2.1

VS

Edifier S730D

Guys, you all talking about S series now huh? Luckily my old S5.1 still working perfectly, if not will get poison by you guy .

Well, currently with only RM2++ budget, I'm looking for 2.1 speaker for my pc/working room. As I often play instrument and soft song when doing my work, so I don't need heavy bass speaker (moderate is ok) and most important is vocal clarity. M3300 is a good choice or I can get cheaper speaker that suit me?

exactly! tat what i heard today in LYP All-IT.....hope to buy S730 today but sadly comeback empty handed cuz i feel disappointing bout with Bass....the satellite no doubt is wonderfull clearly better/sharper than the S530 but the tiny GMX subwoofer is just better and sound deeper....the salesman there say its a longthrow bass...u have to go far away to listen its full potential but still im in doubt...haiz...now really regret selling my GMX....now what...?

there are no such things as long-throw subwoofer or long throw bass. i mean, there is no word to properly describe the bass characteristic between those speakers... i only can said gmx is deep er and boomier. but not only boomy is necessary, deep is also important. the deeper the bass the more pulse you feel, although at low volumes.

must be a bad choice to sell ur gmx... anyway just tweak your soundcard for aego m, i listened to aego m couple of times, i'd say it still have good potential. just cannot be as loud as gmx.

I found this somewhere in google...KONONYA...

A "long throw" speaker is normally considered to be a high-directivity speaker. Vertically, because it projects a tight beam, you're able to "throw" the sound over the heads of the nearest listeners without killing them with SPL(sound pressure level). Horizontally, it sends less energy into the sidewalls of the room - the reverb picks up more slowly as you walk toward the back.

When it comes to floor-stacked sub woofers, neither of these effects apply. All of the listeners are in the direct path of the subs, so there is no throwing it over their heads. Also, all subs have wide patterns, and nearly all rooms have relatively long reverb times at low frequencies - so the effect of low frequency directivity on the distribution of reverb(reflect) in a room is usually insignificant.A long throw woofer design for a Sub tends to increase its bass output,while limiting distortions

i know there are definitions for the long-throw subwoofer.
just that, i rarely think people will use that term to "explain" the sound of the subwoofer itself.

just like down-firing... doesnt mean down-firing will be better. im not too sure, but i can place side-firing sub to be downfiring and vice-versa. not much difference heard...

i guess what im trying to say is.., those terms doesnt really explain much.
more likely used in marketing than designing.

what i know about GMX is it's heavvy for a 6.5" subwoofer.
the box just steady when playing loud

can explain in short?

True, in other words it means...listen to how it sounds, not what the specs sheet says...

Edifier from unknown brand to top tier PC speaker manufacturer today. But is Edifier only famous at SEA region, how about rest of the world?

what about china? few years ago got survey, i think edifier is the computer speakers that is most used and best seller in china.

that is why, no offense, but i feel edifier is good for music especially chinese songs. it's designed to be that way, cause most buyers are chinese.
while for others, let say altec lansing, they marketed for english users... doesnt mean they are not compatible each other, but for those who own edifier and other brand., u;ll realize the fact that above statement are actually quite true.

It's better for Edifier to stay low-profile and avoid to associate with THX, so i can afford it at lower price but get same performance with so-called THX certified speaker.

Yes

I find that THX certified multimedia speakers got no big different with non certified at the same price range and type.

But THX cert. cinema got big difference with non certified

other than normal THX we got on multimedia spkrs, there's higher grade called THX Ultra

I know can join there but I aim specifically for edifier. If go there, so many will suggest other brand which I don't like. Just want some opinion from Edifier Fan.

i see that the logitech z-2300 consumes 200watts and 120 watts for woofer alone......

comapre it to the edifer s530 ...which one is better? the higher the rms the louder the sound right?

is s530 THX certified?
