Hello

Hi SEN,
I'm thinking of buying new speakers, mainly for listening to music, however I want a surround system for movies and the like. Still, 80% of the usage will be due to music.
Most of the time: metal, but else really bass-intense music, so the subwoofer should be -really- powerfull.
My budget: 300-400 euros.

My current ones: Sony SRS-DB500 ( http://www.sony.de/product/pas-home-multichannel/srs-db500/technische-details#tab ) (german)

300 Watt (2x75 for Satellites, 1x150 for Sub)
50Hz - 500 kHz (sub)
250Hz - 20 kHz (satellite)
impedance: 4 Ohm
Bassreflex

Which of these two are better / fit my needs?

Well the second option has a little bit bigger of a subwoofer and a little more RMS power rating. I would be blindly guessing as to the quality of the tweeters, but I'm sure they sound great on both sets. So, I think the second one would have more bass, if that's what you're looking for.

Edit: Also, since the subwoofers are so close in power, you might want to go for the one that has the greater sensitivity. But I can't seem to find the sensitivity listed on the first one.

I don't understand how the 2nd one is 650W when the first is 280W.

On paper the 2nd one looks much better, but the first has great reviews.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?

[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]

Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
