Solitaire Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 freelancer, how does the 3200HTiB sound versus the z5500?? Better for gaming and movies or is the cheaper 5500 better for gaming and movies?? I'm assuming you're using optical input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am myslef planning to get the 3200 but I'll probably get the 5200 for the active subwoofer. Edited December 10, 2009 by TheDreamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sushant Vasishta Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Does the 5200 decode the HD audio? because the 3200 has HDMI pass through for audio. Unfortunately no. The 6200 does HD Audio decoding but then its 10 grands costlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sushant Vasishta Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 But have you heard both??Of course I did. There is absolutely no comparison between both. For few grands more than what Z5500 retails for, you can get highly balanced and natural sounding machine. I personally didn't like the bass that Z5500 puts out. Too muddy for my taste.

Freelancer Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 3200 is awesome ! i have two wall brackets for lcd, one in the hall which is much lower so that i can watch and play sitting on the bean bag and the other in the pic in my bed room , it is of suitable height since i watch n play sitting in my bed. m yet to call the guy frm the showroom from whr i bought the htib for proper setup. the wires were smaller for rear speakers , i have to get the wires too ,my exams are coming thts y i set it up in a hurry myself, will get everything done by the technician in jan 1st week. 3200 is really powerful n total value for money ! havent heard z5500 so cant comment on that but whn u can have 3200 for few thousand bucks more thn it makes sense to choose 3200 over 5500 but then space n requirements are other criteria as well !

Solitaire Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Oh good, so finally a proper HTiB is better than the z5500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aha .. just realized that the PS3 will decode all the HD audio and send it back via HDMI. A win win situation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since that setup cant take audio over h d m i, its still not a sure win. You still need an optical cable to get the audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabba Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 nice purchase freelancer.... big difference in gaming n movie experience incoming... nice buy, speaker positioning is haywire, pu the centre speaker below your tv and he left and right a litle above it, you are hardly getting the effect of your sound system this way, until ofcourseyou stand while playing or watching movies. all speakers should be at ear level...
