Hi All
I have Samsung P51F5500 Plasma the built in speaker is not sufficient and pathetic as expected, doesn't bring out the details even in vocals.
I want a 2.1 Speaker system for TV viewing and BluRay/BR Rip Movie watching and Gaming. I probably will be listening to Music only very occasionally so BR and BRRip Movies > Gaming > TV viewing > Music is the purpose.
I don't have any AMP or AVR. I will be connecting the speakers to the PC which is connected to the TV via HDMI for Gaming and BluRay viewing as I have the BR-ROM drive in my PC only. And directly to the TV for TV viewing as I am not sure I will be having my PC all the time in my Hall. (Soundcard on my PC is : Asus Xonar DG.)
5.1 is ruled out as 1. Wiring is impossible right now, as it is very small 2. This isn't my final setup, as I will be moving out and assembling a proper high end 5.1 in my new home. 3. If I buy this 2.1 can use it later with my PC.
So, the requirements are:
- Budget within 5~7K ..can reach to 11-12K if it is worth it.
- Details for movie watching .... Must be able to hear Details like rainfall, noises etc without compromising Voice clarity.
- Need solid Immersive Bass for movies esp. Explosions etc.
- Wide Soundstage/Surround Sound.
- Must be loud enough to hear from 7~8 feet, which is where my Sofa is.
I zeroed down Edifier C3 two weeks ago since I read this review (Tech ARP - Edifier C3 2.1 Speaker System Review) and I was impressed by the looks from the photo as it looks more TV speaker-ish than PC speakers. So I went ahead and ordered it from Flipkart but now the seller said the speaker is out of stock.
There is an another one in stock for 11.5K from Amazon, but decided to post here before going ahead with it. Was also having Swan M10 in my mind but I read the bass is normal and I am not sure if it will be loud enough for a viewing distance of 7feet, so I am kinda confused. Your suggestions please......
Or should I completely go the Soundbar route and get the Wharfedale Vista 100 for 20K. Since it is 20K and out of my budget I ruled that out. But if it is far better than a 2.1 I will consider it.
