alright !
let me put it pointwise for our better understanding :
1. for higher budget, you have the
S550 &
S750, which, with their power, can be termed as 'party-rocking' speakers ! but as with all electronic items, their
prices too have shot up by quite a figure recently. the S550, which earlier used to retail for ~16k, is now for
19k (the earlier price of the S750)

so, should we say - "drop 'em !" ?!
2. DA5000 Pro is purely
analog 5.1 system, hence it would give you a very good sound output in music too ! as am writing to you, am bobbing my head to some good music-beats playing on the DA5000 Pro
hyeah:
the sub doesnt produce boomy bass all the time (which could be annoying), but only when required, say when you have some scenes in a movie that have low-frequency sound, you could hear you windows rattling behind you, but no unnecessary boom. thats one-of-a-kind experience
at other times, its tight and punchy, deep and gives that 'good-good' feeling. again, playing BF3 on these speakers was a heavenly experience :yahoo:
3. F&D F5090 comes with stands with the speakers. these have a higher RMS rating than the Pro above. the sub's quite powerful, and all the sound input-output settings have to be handled with the tiny remote you get with the system. these are NOT recommended for music at all, but much recommended for movies+gaming :clapping:

4. F&D F6000 produce a more balanced sound, and these too have a higher output power than the DA5000 Pro, but when i tested these, it seemed to me that they distort a bit at higher volume. also, they seemed to lack that 'heaviness' in sound as against the DA5000 Pro. also, these dont really require a sound card, but having one would certainly show some improvement in SQ.
where do you live ?!
an audition is advised. if you have 'more' mall at your place, you could audition the F&D speakers there. but finding the DA5000 Pro, let alone auditioning them, is tough.
so, start your search in this flow --> DA5000 Pro >> F&D F5090 >> F&D F6000.
the most VFM speakers here are obviously the DA5000 Pro. if you cant find them even after an exhaustive search, head straight to 'more' and audition both the F&D speakers there, and choose to your liking.
lynx-india listed DA5000 Pro sometime back with some 'official discount from edifier' thing (which was useless, as even after discount it was priced higher than 8.2k). call them up and inquire about the stock, ONLY if you fail to find the DA anywhere locally. thats because the seller has got some nasty reputation. so keep lynx as a last resort.
and pls tell which city you live in.
