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.

NimoStar -- If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface

[05:34 pm]

NimoStar -- Well. The bot didn't come up with any new strategy. It just has superhuman micro. Hard to beat that. I reckon even the simplest dedicated chess engines are unbeatable for humans now.

I was imagining how the game went. Sorry for that. Watching it now. brb

NimoStar shouted: They were not "Unprepared" that was their fifth loss in a row against the bot. The other replays are also available

that doesn't mean he was prepared. When humans come around with new strategies it often takes weeks until the pros figure out how to shut it down. Oh_Man

Oh_Man shouted: https://youtu.be/GiQ-cDtsZYw

that's certainly a way more convincing argument for micro being "too good to beat".
