Hey HifiGuides!
New member here, longtime Zeos fan, its actually his fault that I have JBL 530’s and 580’s. Thats ok though, its my fault he has those infinity subs in his living room.
I currently have a 4.2 setup with 580’s, 530’s and two of those infinity subs mentioned.
However I am thinking of replacing all that completely with a simple desk setup.
I need optical input for tv gaming/movies, but most of my use is music
I want the simplicity of a soundbar while maintaining my current output and quality.
Thanks to Zeos I found the Edifer S3000Pro and Swan M300mkwhateveritis.
I also saw the Klipsch “the sixes” which I like because of the subwoofer output.
I have a few questions about them.
•how do they compare to the JBL?
•is the swan remote hard to click/frustrating to use?
•how about product lifespan? I would hate to spend $800 and they die in 3 years.
•how are easy are edifier and swan to deal with on warranty issues?
•do any of them provide full satisfactory bass without subs? (I dont listen to rap but I like strong bass)
•I will be using these nearfield (arms length usually but want room filling sound for when working around the room) do they exhibit any hiss, hum or buzz when powered on but not playing?
(I heard maybe the klipsch do, but nothing confirmed yet.)
Lastly if anyone has any experience with the Edifier Airpulse A300’s I would like to hear about them also. Do you think its worth the extra dough over the s3000’s for subwoofer out?
Thanks for reading and any help you can offer!
