nice info wah like that means most speakers that use LED and "dim" when subwoofer slam means need power from led ah? maybe i go remove all irritating LED from all systems. lol. but your M3400, the dim not really bad right? i used to own M3300, it only dim slightly, compared to cheapo speaker i own before..

QUOTE(andrew9292 @ Sep 17 2009, 02:04 PM) Dim quite a lot, but it really depends on the song. If loose bass songs like rave or house genre then it does not dim so much. But those tight bass songs where need to woofer to be really "quick" then it does dim down a lot. i think should be similar for my ex M3300 and another speaker. shall try. actually i notice this long ago, didn't actually think it was a big deal.  gonna check for all my computer speakers for this symptom now.

After a month of dealing with my room's terrible acoustic, yesterday i solved the problem by using a cheap bedside 'table' from ikea (name: lack) to put my Edifier R501 subwoofer on. previously, it was standing on the wood-floor, sounds weird and boomy. the table is made from particle board. same material used in 'cheap' subwoofer. (no wonder can bounce bass  ) in short, the cheap RM40 table from IKEA works very good for my Edifier R501. restores some deep frequency, while reducing boominess in about 60-70hz. recommended for those with same problem as me (wood floor) but looking for cheap alternatives.

second him. i vote for the C3. just lack of punch, but bass is of better quality than S330. beside C3, i also recommend R501, running in 2.1 mode if dunwan 5.1

im sure even xtreme audio will do better. i use the PCI version recently. not bad, compared to onboard.
for me i dont like S330 cause its smaller, and the bass muddy type for my ears.
anyway if you couldn't audition, that's really bad news. hope it doesnt disappoint.

the good thing about the S series is they have better workmanship, means their materials, such as transformer, speaker cones, plastics and wood are of higher quality than the bottom series. but that doesn't mean C is much worse, C is just abbreviation of "Component" because C3 uses external amp, which is better. edit: anyway, in case you have not read these comprehensive reviews about them. from the techlabs review= S330 vs C3This post has been edited by nismo91: Sep 28 2009, 06:27 PM

QUOTE(andrew9292 @ Oct 7 2009, 04:59 PM) oh i see, didnt know that. because i see all the altec lansing use long throw woofer and the woofer move a lot but the sound is not very low/loud... so i thought long those is those kind of woofers that move a lot... still wondering what is long throw, cant find anything on google about it i also didnt find anything though very interested in it. my common sense would be long throw driver has more excursion to short throw subwoofer. but since the term "short throw subwoofer" doesnt even exist in my google search, i'd say it's probably just a marketing term, like PMPO, which is not really useful after all.

QUOTE(cjs7875 @ Oct 10 2009, 03:47 PM) hello sifu here,juz brought s330 yesterday , when i test play music the music come out is so much of echo effect ,juz like play music in a cave or juz like u say something through a cup . i did no change any eq or effect in the player .and test many source mp3,flac,ape,and movie .the sound is like fake.and test with my cd player too.the echo effect is vry emphasized. and i check many times all the wires are connected correctly is thr any problem with my s330 or this is the normal in s330? it looks like your soundcard got some accidental changes, such as some DSP effect, or polarity inversion. to make sure, i suggest test the S330 using your mp3, ipod, cd player or even your phone.

QUOTE(andrew9292 @ Sep 16 2009, 08:00 PM) I remembered last time Mr.Edifier told me that the reason why my M3400 woofer front LED and remote light will go dim when the bass slam is, the woofer needs more power to "slam" and thus it takes away the power from the LED, making it dimmer/blinking when the bass is loud/thump/slam. So i thought, if i disable the LED wouldn't the woofer be less "hungry" for power. I open the back panel of my M3400 today, to my delight i found out there is removable connector on the circuit board that says "LED 1". I removed the connector and closed the woofer panel and turned it on. The front LED if off. So i played a song that has quite punchy bass, and wala! no more "crunchy"/underpower sound when the bass slams. Not only that, everything seems louder and more smooth than before. The LED backlight of the remote cant be disabled tho, but now even when i on it loud, the LED backlight on the remote does not go dim/blink anymore ; ) Which also means the woofer is not that "hungry" for power liao ;p hey bro, i just remove the led from my another speakers, and wow, it works really great now! from now on, i will try to remove every led from multimedia speakers. not only it disturb at night, it also affect subwoofer power apparently.

QUOTE(ArianneG @ Oct 24 2009, 03:06 AM) Wow. Is this LED removal mod you speak of easy even for technically and DIY challenged people like me? Because I HATE the LED at night, but I am in the habit of falling asleep to music. I'm the kind of person who can make disasters with a screwdriver and screws...  (Maybe not that bad, but I get nervous with these things) i dismantled 3 LED from 3 speakers. hmm, one of them very easy, just find the thin cable that goes to LED direction... i just unplug the socket and its gone... another one, cant find the wire, have to force cut the LED leg. another one is even easier.. just open the circuit and cut it. i really encourage this LED removal for speaker system that its LED starts dancing, of course the socket method is better, so that you can plug it back if you'd like to sold it... may i know what speaker are u using? im pretty sure the method is not really difficult. but the fact that the LED affect the subwoofer sound is real and therefore i think his post deserve more views.

QUOTE(power911 @ Oct 24 2009, 10:58 PM) A question what about my system? (not edifier speaker tho) it's some cheap speakers that comes with a vu meter and I wonder if I dismantled a wrong wire,will it cause damage to the whole system? one of the speaker i do was no-brand also. but hell it sounds good so who cares about brandless. lol u open the back of the subwoofer, locate any thin cable goes into the front. usually in forms of socket. if its soldered directly, then u will have to make sure the wire u cut is the LED wire. if its socket, u can predict or trial-and-error. led remains where it's because they're probably glued. but as long they dont light, and worse is dance, its okay... the led that is not to be removed is the led that shows the volume, like altec mx5021. but im sure mx5021 led didnt dance. lol

QUOTE(power911 @ Oct 25 2009, 02:08 PM) mine's a vu meter....like sonic gear evo 5 I wonder can or not? there will be a wire to the definitely. at least a wire to power it up. but since its definitely not only a single power cable like LED, u will have to trace it. best is u dismantle the subwoofer, take a pic of the amp, and analyze which one possible cable that powers up the light. or u could just trial and error, if the cable are socketed.

QUOTE(ArianneG @ Oct 31 2009, 10:58 PM) A question for C3 owners, or maybe Mr Edifier himself-- how much do the C3 satellites weigh?  I'm thinking of putting my subwoofer on the floor under my desk, and the satellites on top of my bookshelves which are directly next to each other ON the desk-- one on each (will be scarily high up), but am worried the bookshelves may not survive and fall apart  . My bookshelf top maximum load is about 2-3 kg I think. Can ah? Because if I don't put up there I no space to put at all, floor is all full...  C3 satellites not very heavy. even its subwoofer also light. the heavy part is its amplifier, because many things including the transformer are there.

QUOTE(omg528 @ Nov 2 2009, 12:47 AM) Is it worht to buy Edifier E3100 ? So doubtful ar... u need to listen first. different ppl have different opinion. most importantly. the kind of songs u listen. the only part i like about the E3100 is its subwoofer. the satellites are just average. if u are satellites person, then try something like M3300. if you're a subwoofer person, then get E3100. real simple.

edited: finally i know how to "reduce" the brightness from the satellites from my R501. it's actually simple, instead of putting my speakers at max volume (because i control them from my windows volume thru remote and hotkeys), i set them to half max. strange but true, the brightness is also noticable reduced. as well as for realtek users, checking the "full range" speakers option and restart is mandatory to obtain better overall frequency response. source. mine only takes effect properly after a restart. glad, now everything is solved. even more satisfied with my R501.
