: Best 5.1 and 2.1 speaker for you?
: floss13 September 13, 2011, 01:45:31 PM
Magandang umaga mga kapatid. Para budget na 3.5k, ano ba maganda speaker na 2.1/5.1 ngayon? Share nyo na din mga ideas nyo at kung ano mga gamit nyo. Brand,quality, etc. Para na rin sa mga kapatid natin my balak bumili ng speaker tulad ko.

P.S. Magandang earphone narin para sa 1k na budget. hehe

Maraming Salamat!

for your budget, alanganin ang 5.1.  tama nga yung advice sa taas, 2.1 ng edifier, ok na siya for the price.  1k na earphones, punta ka sa megamall sa listening room at ng "malason" ka at mawiling bumili ng mga mamahaling earphones / headset.  :)

ito mga suggestions ko bro, if ever pa stretch natin ng konti budget. hehe

Soundmagic PL11 = 800php (deep bass with well pronounced clarity and highs)
Brainwavz Alpha = 800php (ka dikitan to ng PL11)
Visang RO2 = 1.2kphp (has this warm sound sig but does not neglect having luscious mids and sparkly highs)
Soundmagic PL30 = 1.3k (neutral soundsig, great for tracks with vocals specially acoustic and live albums)


all of those are in-ear bro. yung nasa loob ng () are my impressions on those IEMs as per listening to them.

kung talagang kabisado mu ang 5.1

hindi ka magdadalawang isip na bilhin 5.1 kahit kapos ng konti ang budget.

2.1 is never an option if you really heard the immersed sound of 6 channel audio.

BUT... you if you buy three pieces of 2.1 speaker, it make a lot of difference. (separate Subwof sa rear, front & center)
Tapos road test mu by watching the  First Ten Minutes of Saving Private Ryan.

meron sa Villman P3800 brand new ATP3, kasi ang 5.1 kung lahat nasa harap mo sa PC and hindi talaga naka "surround" sayo sayang lang so the cheaper 5.1s willl give you 5.1 pero in 1 direction lang, much better to invest on a good 2.1 than an ok 5.1

kung 5.1 na nakaharap sayo lahat ang speakers kasya, 5.1 na hindi surround, 5.1 na di mo malalagay sa bawat sulok ng kwarto ang speakers

kung gusto mo talaga ng theater like 5.1 this is what i can suggest kasi nasubukan ko itong set of speakers na ito

P5000 sya pero mailalagay mo sa rear ang mga speakers for full surround effect

please note that a good set of 5.1 speakers for true surround experience can be achieved not by the 6 speaker connections at the back but by the fiber optic connection at the back of the PC, so a more expensive set of 5.1 speakers like the Z5500 or Z509 or any home theater with a fiber optic will produce excellent 5.1 surround, the 6 speaker connection will produce OK 5.1 surround, the downside to PC speakers are in the name PC speakers, for PC only, if you want to use your speakers for multiple devices like a game console or a 3d bluray player you need an excellent set of speakers or an actual home theater setup

tama! kung mahilig kang manood ng original movies (5.1 DTS/Dolby Digital/ProLogicII) or mag-games sa PS2/PS3 na may 5.1 audio, dapat go for speakers with digital connection (optical cable). kahit gaano pa kamahal ang soundcard mo na 5.1, hindi mo pa rin maa-achieve yung true 5.1 experience since analog gamit mong connection, kahit gaano rin kamahal yung audio cable na gagamitin mo para sa connection. at magkano yung optical cable compared to expensive audio cables? di hamak mas mura pa optical cable (3 meters-P450), neat pa tingnan since isang connection lang.

para kay masterchief at syempre vote ko rin dahil yun din gamit ko, z5500 FTW! ipon nga lang ng malaki dahil talagang may kamahalan ang z5500. pero talagang panalo

walang digital connection yung edifier diba? (optical)

walang optical cable connection ang ibang mga speakers kasi ang optical cable kelangan ng speakers na kayang i-decode ang optical signals since digital ito.

di ko ipagpapalit z5500 ko sa ganyan ka-expensive tapos wala pang optical input. to add more, hindi rin nya kayang i-decode ang mga existing sound formats of original dvds (dts/dolby digital/dolby prologic/prologicII). and since analog connection lang sya, siguradong may sound leaks yan from one channel to another. sure na sure yun sa lahat ng analog 5.1.

@ masterchief: paki hanapan mo naman ako ng link kung paano i-convert ang z5500 from 220v AC, gusto ko sanang gawing 12v DC. kabit ko sana sa van pag lumabas na dito sa pinas yung z905 papalitan ko sya. para kahit sa sasakyan pag pauwi province at di mainip sa byahe, manood ng movie naka-5.1.

how about a professional inverter - a device to convert 12v dc from your car battery into 220V for your speaker?  that way, you dont have to pry open your speaker system.
: Re: Best 5.1 and 2.1 speaker for you?

logitech z5500: P14,740
logitech z906: P15,800 (pero less P2,000 ngayon sa PCHub=P13,800)

pano iset-up: syempre nasa gitna ang tv/monitor mo tapos ilagay mo sa ilalim/ibabaw yung center speaker. dun mo maririnig yung mga sound effects (or voice) ng napapanood sa monitor/tv mo.

front left/right channels: nasa pag-set-up mo yun kung gaano yung gusto mong layo sa monitor pero mas maganda kung at least 2m away from monitor's side. at dapat equal ang layo nya sa center speaker at syempre nakaharap rin dapat ito sayo. dito lalabas yung sound ng kaliwa't kanan na sound ng pinapanood mo. example nanonood ka ng car race. from left to right yung takbo ng kotse, syempre maririnig mo yung sound ng engine from left then dadaan sa center tapos magtatapos sa right yung engine sound.

surround left/right: sa likod naman ito inilalagay. kung gaan yung distance ng front speakers mo sayo, dapat yun din ang layo ng surround sa likod mo. ang silbi naman nito ay dito lalabas yung sound effects na nasa likod mong viewer. example naman dito yung naglalakad yung character forward (likod nya ang nakikita sa scene) tapos biglang sumara yung pinto sa likod nya, dun lalabas sa surround left/right yung tunog ng pagsara ng pinto.

subwoofer: nasa sahig lang sya, no definite position kung left or right pero nasa harap mo lang sya malapit sa monitor. dito lalabas yung sound effects na kinakailangan ng malakas na bayo (bass). example is kung kumukulog or may malakas na pagsabog, dun lalabas sa subwoofer yun.

about the way of connecting your sound source (PS2/PS3/DVD/Blu-ray player) to your 5.1 (home theater) speakers. much better kung optical cable gagamitin mo. neat na tingnan, less hassle pa dahil di mo na kelangan i-distinguish kung alin ang alin (unlike analog na dapat alam mo kung anong cable ang para sa front left/right, surround, sub). may kamahalan nga lang (generic 3 meters long P450 bili ko sa DEECO).

so far kahit walang tatak yung optical cable ko ok sa alright naman sya. kahit palipat lipat ako ng kinakabitan (PS2 and DVD). and for the theatrical experience, thumbs up! basta make sure mo lang na 5.1 channel yung pinapanood mo. ang mga orig dvd's halos lahat 5.1 although may ibang stereo lang so check the label. gawain kong busisiin yung label pag nagrerent ako sa video city eh! hehehe!

try mo na!
