Does W701/W701ds have better loudspeakers, sound card than W510?

Hi, W-series end users :smileyhappy:

 

I would like to ask is there any sound quality difference between W701/W701ds and W510?

 

I know that they are using different loudspeakers and same onboard sound card Conexant HD 20585, although W510 only have 1 jack for audio/microphone.

 

So far, I have used 3 ThinkPad before. R51, T400, W510.

Comparison of this 3, T400 have the loudest loudspeakers and problem-free SmartAudio EQ. R51 loudspeaker are still ok. But the W510 loudspeakers are really soft, softer than my old 3-years old low end Compaq Presario and the feature in SmartAudio EQ does not work at all or the way it suppose to be.
