Edifier R1700BT Active Bookshelf Speakers Near-field Studio Monitors Powered 2.0 Speaker Setup Wooden Enclosure 66w RMS- White

Firstly the speakers look really cool... probably not the most important attribute when buying speakers, but hey, we all like good looking things don't we. I wanted a good quality set of speakers for my new WFH (Working From Home) setup and even though I've always had much cheaper PC speakers in the past, which have worked faultlessly and sounded perfectly acceptable, I wanted to go a 'step up' with my new desk. If I'm going to be using something for 7 hours a day, 5 days a week, then good quality becomes a little more warranted. All the Edifier speakers have pretty good reviews and even though I was prepared to spend a little bit more I liked the look and size of these, so got them. They feel robust, well engineered and well built, with all the tactile and visual impressions of a quality product. £139 is probably a little much for PC speakers, but strictly speaking they are listed as bookshelf speakers not PC speakers. However, a little purpose re-appropriation is needed during these changing times were living in. The sound is clear, crisp, and clean even at loud volumes, and they can go very loud indeed; way louder than I though or would ever really have use for in this setting. They would do well in a small house gathering where reasonable volumes of music are required in a large living room. The functions and controls are basic, concise and intuitive, so aside from a perhaps little reading for Bluetooth pairing, you'll probably never need to consult the manual. I didn't even know they had Bluetooth when I ordered them, so this is a nice bonus. I wanted speakers that could handle input from both my desktop, and work laptop easily, and the two phono inputs make this a breeze. The six button remote is functional and easy to navigate, though the dead on arrival battery had me initially feeling the product was faulty, a quick battery change averted my initial disappointment and I was back in business. The frequency spectrum is pretty well reproduced throughout the high and mid frequencies and the sound clarity is quite striking. The bass is deep, solid and punchy without being booming or overbearing in the higher bass frequencies as is common with speakers this size. Even though I have heard more impressive bass from speakers similarly sized, I have to take into account the price point, which makes these very impressive indeed. I didn't actually test the Bluetooth connection seeing as I've not really got much need for it (yet), so can't comment on it's performance, but connecting is relatively straight forward. Anyway, I'm very pleased with them and think they make a great addition to my setup. The one aspect I found oddly niggling is the fact the the top surface is not flat/horizontal, so I can't actually put anything on top of them, but again, these are really for a bookshelf so I have to let this irk slide on account that they were not meant to be Desk pedestal's. Highly recommended.

I bought these to replace a pair of monitors from a well known American studio equipment and DAW corporate; those died after 4 years – through a design / component quality fault that’s now well recorded. I was happy with the sound of them. I’m going to compare the two, because both are active two-speaker-cabinets. The Edifiers are relatively heavy and the cabinets look good. The knobs feel well finished and well damped and there’s a detent you can feel for the 0db position of the separate bass and tweeter level controls – someone’s thought about their customers in this. In comparison, the speaker from the USA had one time treble/bass adjustment (on the back), and were a dull blue-grey plastic with no grills and cheap switches, but they had TRS inputs and a headphone port (I never used the latter), which the edifiers don’t. CABLES & PACKAGING The box contained two pairs of audio cables, and a plugged cable to connect the passive speaker to the amped one. This is quite heavy duty and I suspect it’s shielded. No nasty strand of cheap speaker wire here. I had no interference to contend with on these. The speaker wire that came with my previous speakers, needed routing to avoid audio cables. Only one issue here. Why is this manufacturer using planet-unfriendly polystyrene packaging when cardboard would be fine? SETUP Setup of both the speakers and Bluetooth connection was straightforward. I’m a bit concerned that there doesn’t seem to be a Bluetooth password – meaning anyone within 30 metres might connect to it. THE REMOTE Given the perceived quality of the cables supplied, and the finish of the speakers, the perceived quality of the piano black remote is well below the rest of the package. It’s incredibly lightweight (but doesn’t feel fragile). There are lots of positives though. It’s easy to use, functions well, and the 6 buttons are well thought out - and all I’ll need. And, it didn’t need the manual to understand. But no one picking it up is going to think it belongs to these classy looking speakers. The (well written and clear) manual shows you how to change the remote’s battery. Another piece of attention to customer needs by this manufacturer. BLUETOOTH QUALITY The Bluetooth codec supported by this active speaker system is SBC. That delivers lower audio quality than LDAC – which supports a higher bit rate. Fine for background sound, parties or TV, not the best quality for listening to music. It was a noticeably lower quality than from my plugged in PC. I can understand why – cheaper devices that connect to these Edifiers may not support the LDAC protocol. SOUND QUALITY & SOUND SETUP Sound quality is far better than I expected, by some margin. I suspect the tweeters are a tad overpowered compared to the bass, Turn them up and the top highs can get a little confused, whereas the American monitors (see above) had really dominant crisp, clear highs; too much at times ( and there was no on cabinet way of adjusting them). Leave the Edifier tweeters at 0db and you may be OK, I turned them down by 1db and they’re fine. The bass is a touch on the punchy side (on my PC in my space), but not overbearing. That suits a lot of music styles. The crossover is exceptionally well judged in its balance between highs and lows. In contrast, the bass on the American monitors wasn’t as powerful, but it delivered a warmer tone. The US speakers had a noticeable dip in upper mid-range. Edifier have done a far better job of delivering mid-range detail, it really impressed me. It’s difficult to deliver real lows from a 4” speaker. The American studio equipment and DAW corporate got down to 80 Hz on their 3.5” speaker. These Edifiers are delivering down to a respectable 60 Hz on 4”, and the difference is noticeable. Both speakers deliver 20kHz, with the American product having the edge at the very top end. If you want a sub-out, there isn’t one, but Edifier’s web site says you can split the line in signal to an amped sub unit. Or lay out more money and buy the RT1700 BTS – that comes with a sub out port. I’ve run about 40 pieces of music through these – in both listening and setup. That included a range of EDM, opera, large orchestral pieces, reggae, rock, blues, jazz and vocal based music. I’ve also listened to an audio book and watched a video. The performance has been far better than I expected. The stereo separation of the amp channels is very good and I’m getting more detail in the music than I expected. It’s not audiophile, but it’s good. I was wondering if I’d be able to mix music through these – the answer is yes I will. OVERALL Based on the price point Audio performance 4.75 Perceived build quality & appearance 5 Ease of use 5 Bluetooth 3 Remote 4 Value for money 5 CONCLUSION Superb value. Can anything beat these at their price point?

Needed to replace my desktop computer's audio speakers - games, all kinds of music including bassy edm, do some editing etc. Had an ok Logitech 2.1 system, 2 speakers + a floor subwoofer unit which served me pretty well. Unfortunately the wires for that system were hardwired into the small speakers, which go to the floor sub unit, and these started having fading in/out problems. The mid/high ranges from the small Logi speakers were also not great as I have now come to realise. After a bit of research and back and forth decision making between the more/sometimes better reviewed Edifier R1280DBs's and MR4's, some of the other (at the time of writing) £99 models, it sounded like something was a bit missing from those units for people, and I figured these R1700BT might tick most boxes. These are chunkier than I thought even, but they still fit on my desk just about. I ideally wanted to not have to deal with a subwoofer unit on the floor, so I ordered these and hoped the bass in these would be enough for my use case. The trade-off in use of space I guess is no floor unit, bigger speakers themselves. I opened them up, hooked them to power and connected the two speakers together. Just power, and one more cable. Turned on, bluetooth is super snappy indeed, and got on to trying a bunch of tunes. At first I was a tiny bit disheartened, as some of the songs just didn't feel quite right. But I forgot I'm a bass-inclined individual, so played with the nice treble/bass controls, added +4db, and kicked the volume up. I'm quite happy. My ears retuned a bit and the music started showing some new colours, definition. The bass is also enough, for my needs. I was torn between spending a bit extra for the R1700BTS (S for Subwoofer Out version), so I had the futureproofing of being able to buy a sub to addon if I wanted to. Then I remembered I wanted to do away with the sub unit in the first place, and figured if these don't kick enough bass for my needs it's simply not the speakers for me. I think it would be unreasonable to expect anything more for the £115 I paid and in the form factor they come in. The build quality is great, controls are easy, Bluetooth snappy. No care for the remote control myself so can't comment. Audio is clean, sharp, great. Volume can't go house-party high, but fills my room and spills out a good amount. If I had these in my living room/some open plan social area, would maybe be enough. The only thing missing is the bass lows could be punchier. I do wish I got the BTS model in the end, but I'm sort of fighting my rationale for getting these in the first place then - would just be nice to have the option I think, so if you're crazy bassy I'd go for those, get a sub unit, and be plenty happy.

This is the second set of these i have bought. The first were as a set of reference speakers in addition to my music studio monitors, as they have the expected mid scoop typical on mot domestic systems. The bass and treble controls provide a decent boost, the bass can get a little obnoxious, which im sure will reassure some. The treble boost doesnt quite match the power of the bass boost, but combined they give sufficient possibilities. The white finish is sleek and quite pleasant. The second set i bought was as a set to listen to spotify in my kitchen. They are more than powerful enough for this, and my kitchen is quite large. These 4 inch speakers are far louder and more balanced than a 3 inch Sanyun carbon driver set i initially bought. I connect these to my google home mini via bluetooth and google home still hears my voice over the loud music. One issue with this setup, if you dont leave these speakers switched on 24/7, youll have to open the Google home app everytime you want to play music through them and reconnect the two via bluetooth. Only takes 20 sec, but a bit of a shame the pairing doesnt result in them auto connecting. Perhaps this is googles fault, i dont know. I like the fact they have a 5m cable linking the two speakers. To be honest, its amazing what you get for your money these days. Dont bother with Bose etc. Get these for a quarter of the price. I hope these have longevity... given i have two sets now! Time will tell.

I bought these for £79.99 a little over a year ago back when very little was known about them, I decided to take a leap of faith as the reviews I could find were very good. The design is great and you have the option of keeping the grills on for a classy look or take them off to make them look a bit more modern or if you want to see the speaker go womp-womp-womp when playing bass at high volume. The speakers are slightly angled upwards meaning the best place would be on the desk I however have then about 20 cm above my head on a shelf and they sound fine. The only thing I dislike is the green coloured 3.5mm jack no idea why it is so inconsistent with the rest of the design. The speakers are very easy to use pretty much plug and play... after a buying an adopter for the UK plug, I did not buy these speakers for the Bluetooth but I found myself using it frequently with my ipad and android phone just because of how quick and easy it was to connect. You can easily adjust the treble, the bass and volume on the side of the right speaker. The remote is small stylish and easy to use although a bit easy to lose. However the main reason you buy as speaker is for the sound. I am no expert on audio so this is based on my perception. The speakers sound clear even on the highest volume which is loud enough to fill the flat I live in with music. Voices and sound effects come in clear when watching films and playing games. I can listen to them a whole day without getting tired and often do, in my opinion there is an emphasis on the bass which is surprisingly powerful for speakers this size almost enough to rival a small subwoofer because of this I have the bass knob turned about half way down which I think sounds more natural however I have turned the bass knob all they way up when listening to certain kind of music and for most volume the bass is tight and punchy while at the highest volume It doesn't sound distorted but definably a little more lose. I have asked a few friends of what they though of the sound and how much the speakers cost and no one guessed under £200 and I agree with them they sound and look like something that should be much more expensive. So the speakers sound great, look great, easy to use and are reliable as I have had no trouble after a year of use. One of the best purchases I have made. I saw that the price had went up to £125 I assume because the speakers became more well known, I still think that they are a great choice even at the new price. I can't believe how little I paid for them especially when I heard sound systems that were much more expensive that in my opinion sounded worse. I don't think you can really go wrong with these great choice for pretty much anyone.

Fantastic sound quality above expectations for the cost. Certainly loud enough for a reasonably large room and the sound is good though base, mid and treble at high volume and low. Connectivity from a turntable is easy expected but switching to Bluetooth and one press of the volume and the light goes blue to show that you can connect via Bluetooth. For the size and cost these are excellent and well recommended.

Very clear voice and great for guitar. Quite superb when used for my classical CDs . The only slight niggle I have with these is that the remote does not control bass or treble and the bass is very boomy. Bluetooth connection is easy. As fo the bass, just insert a little foam into the bass ports to fix it and make the bass output more natural. I tested this by playing long drum solos through them and adjusting the bass control to suit my room. Conclusion, these are great speakers for the price and perform way above any others in their price range. Over the last sixty years I have listened to the highest and lowest priced and these edifier speakers out perform many of the high end ones. This company know how to make very good speakers..

Bought these speakers as a secondary set based off of Zeos Pantera (Z reviews) falling in love with them. If you have seen the video, these actually match his description: Nice design, well built, really good dials with a satisfying bump as well as nice audio quality. They are surprisingly small, given how "big" the sound produced is, thanks to DSP they sound signature stays constant which is a big plus for all volumes of listening. Very warm overall, with superb mids and highs that add a sparkle without getting close to jarring (either way, easy fix with the bass and treble knobs). One critique which I and many others have experienced is that the bass can get overbearingly "boomy" which also means a lack of punch on the low end. This is the result of tuning and bass ports to compensate for the small 4" midrange drivers. There is an easy fix which is simply limiting the airflow through the bass ports by stuffing it with light to light-medium density foam. It does considerably reduce the boom and bring a bit of punch back (but by no way do the become punchy like studio monitors). The Bluetooth is acceptable, does have a noticeable lack of quality compared to the conventional audio jack; less lower end with slight reduction in the highs. Considering the build quality, sound, convenience and price. There is definitely no surprise why people claim this to be the "best bang for buck" powered speaker. I'm trying to think of possible alternatives to these but none come to mind unless you want to pay a lot more and have the preference for analytical and "dull" studio monitors. So yes, buy!

Nach der Umgestaltung meines Wohnzimmers wollte ich zwei Hörbereiche aufbauen, einmal Sofa mit 5.1 und einmal Schreibtisch mit Stereo. Zuspieler sollte für beide Zonen mein PC sein, meine Soundkarte sollte sich um die Verwaltung der Tonquellen kümmern, desweiteren waren TFT (per DVI) und TV (per HDMI) an meine Grafikkarte angeschlossen. So konnte ich für alle Spiele die Maus und Tastatur erforderten (Shooter, Rollenspiele) am Schreibtisch Platz nehmen und mich fürs Spielen mit dem Gamepad sowie zum Filme schauen aufs Sofa vor meinen Fernseher werfen. Um den Hörplatz Sofa wurde ein bereits vorhandenes 5.1 Set Edifier S550 aufgestellt und ausgerichtet, nun fehlte nur noch die passende Beschallung für den Hörplatz Schreibtisch, Preislimit 200 EURO. Das Edifier S550 kommt bereits mit einem Subwoofer daher, deshalb war 2.1 am Desktop für mich keine Option mehr, ich wollte mir keinen zweiten Subwoofer ins Wohnzimmer stellen. Also musste ein 2.0-System her was bei jeder Menge Shooter-Explosions-Action für genügend Tiefe sorgt, aber dabei auch Dialoge und Musikuntermalung mit entsprechender Dynamik wiedergeben konnte. Keine leichte Aufgabe. Ich kürze die Wochen der Überlegung, der Planung und der Vergleiche mal ab indem ich folgende Aussage tätige: Weil mir mein Edifier 5.1-System schon einige Jahre eine Menge Spass gemacht hat war ich bereit auch dem R1700 des gleichen Herstellers naheliegenderweise eine Chance zu geben. Beginnen werde ich mit ein paar negativen Punkten, auch diese möchte ich fairerweise erwähnt haben. Davon sollte sich niemand abeschrecken lassen, die Liste ist deutlich kürzer als die der positiven Punkte. Beim Einschalten des Systems knackte es einmal aus dem rechten Lautsprecher und zwar in dem Moment wo die grüne Betriebsleuchte angeht. Kein lautes Knacken, aber wahrnembar. Ich vermutete einen Defekt und sendete das Set in erster Instanz zurück, allerdings legte auch die Ersatzlieferung dieses Verhalten an den Tag. Der Sound von PC über Bluetooth an das R1700 ist gruselig, klingt irgendwie kaputt. Hier möchte ich aber nicht ausschliessen das dies an meinem Bluetooth-Stick liegt. Darüber hinaus ist diese Funktion für mich nur ein netter Bonus, kein Kaufkriterium, weil ich die Lautsprecher sowieso analog per Cinch am Front-Audio-Header anschliessen wollte. Unterm Strich sind das natürlich zwei Minuspunkte, wobei der erste mich im Nachhinein nicht weiter stört, der zweite für mich keine Bedeutung hat und beide zusammen die angedachte Funktion in keinster Weise beeinträchtigen. Das mag für den ein oder anderen interessant sein, sorgt aber bei mir für keine Abwertung. Kommen wir nun zu den schönen Dingen und davon reichlich. OPTIK Die Lautsprecher sehen wirklich toll aus, schlicht, aber einzigartig. Das verbaute Holz wirkt edel und hochwertig, die Spaltmaße stimmen, sie bringen gut Gewicht auf den Schreibtisch. Drehregler für Lautstärke (gerastert, aber endlos), Bässe und Höhen (beide ungerastert mit fester Skala -6/+6) befinden sich rechts am rechten Lautsprecher und lassen sich auch im Dunkeln gut erfühlen. Lediglich die Lautsprecher-Abdeckungen werden der restlichen Verarbeitungsqualität nicht ganz gerecht, ziehen innen Fäden und sind nicht ganz sauber verklebt. Da ich meine Boxen gerne offen trage liegen die Abdeckungen im Schrank und so stört mich das nicht weiter. HANDHABUNG Angeschlossen sind die R1700 per Cinch am Front-Audio-Header meines Gehäuses der intern mit meiner Soundkarte, Asus Xonar D1, verbunden ist. Die hinteren Anschlüsse der Soundkarte sind 3 x analog mit dem Edifier S550 verbunden. Über die Xonar-Software kann ich mit wenigen Klicks zwischen den hinteren und den vorderen Eingängen umschalten um 5.1 fürs Sofa zu haben oder halt 2.0 am Schreibtisch, perfekt. KLANG MUSIK Neugierig startete ich als ersten Test den MediaMonkey um mal zu hören wie sich die Edifier bei Musik so schlagen. Ich bin begeisterter Anhänger Elektronischer Tanzmusik (Dance, Handz Up, Trance, Hardstyle), also mal ein paar Referenznummern ausgepackt...und gestaunt. Egal ob spassiger Hanz Up/Dance, melodiöser und weit gefächerter Trance oder härtere Gangart Hardstyle, der Sound wird abgespielt wie er sein soll. Kräftig im Bass, glasklar in den Stimmen, Dynamik in den Höhen. Weiter gekramt und mal etwas Alternativer zu Werke gegangen, Soundtrack von der Eiskönigin (Zum ersten Mal), Child Of Light (Off To Sleep), Wolfenstein The New Order (I Believe), Rock von Bon Jovi und Peter Maffay, John Murphy (Strobe). Mitreissende Instrumentalpassagen, knackige Darstellung und Räumlichkeit von Instrumenten, grade bei sehr vocallastigen Stücken hat man das Gefühl die Sänger sitzen hinterm Bildschirm. Absolute Begeisterung von der ersten Minute an. Mittlerweile laufen die Lautsprecher gut 1.5 Monate bei mir und der positive Ersteindruck ist geblieben. Auch wenn es vorher nicht so gedacht war nutze ich die R1700 auch sehr viel fürs Musik hören und schmeisse mein "grosses" Edifier S550 eher selten an, obwohl dieses durch den Subwoofer im Stereobetrieb das Geschehen nach unten hin druckvoller abrundet. Erwähnen möchte ich an dieser Stelle noch das die Musikwiedergabe nicht vollkommen neutral ausfällt. Egal bei welcher Musikrichtung, grundsätzlich würde ich die Edifier als etwas basslastig einstufen. Nicht übertrieben, aber für mich hörbar. Mir persönlich, grade auch mit meinen musikalischen Präferenzen, gefällt das sehr gut so, Menschen die mehr Wert auf eine neutrale Abstmmung legen könnten sich hier unwohl fühlen. KLANG SPIELE Eigentlich lag hier meine Hauptanforderung. Nachdem ich durch das Musikerlebnis schon hin und weg war waren meine Erwartungen beim Gaming entsprechend hoch. Ich kam hier von einem (aufgrund der Räumlichkeiten) schlecht aufgestellten 5.1 und war gespannt ob ich die Ortbarkeit ("Hinter mir zwitschert ein Vogel") mit dem Schritt zu 2.0 vermissen werde. Also das neue Call Of Duty gestartet und gleich die erste Explosion schoss mich aus dem Sessel. Genauer gesagt war es der Luftzug aus den Bassreflexrohren, darauf war ich nicht vorbereitet. Kugeln und Patronenhülsen flogen mir um die Ohren, dort bellte mir ein Pixelkrieger von links Befehle zu, Drohnen stürzten sich von Himmel auf mich hinunter, irgendwo schlugen Raketen ein. Ich war intensiv im Spielgeschehen wie nie zuvor, unglaublich! Beim nächsten Kandidaten ging es deutlich ruhiger zu. Risen 3, entspannt auf einer Insel durch den Dschungel. Meine Begleiterin wirft mir mit Leichtigkeit munter Sprüche um die Ohren, dort flattern Papageien, weiter hinten kreischt ein Scavenger, hier plätschert ein See der von einem donnernden Wasserfall flankiert wird, dramatische Musik erklingt, ich werde angegriffen und ziehe meine Klinge die klirrend auf meine Gegner niedergeht. Diese Eindrücke entstanden nur durchs Höhren, so hat mich noch nie ein Rollenspiel in seinen Bann gezogen. An dieser Stelle kann ich meine Eingangsfrage mit einem klaren "Nein" beantworten, ich vermisse den ungünstig realisierten Raumklang von vorher kein bisschen, stattdessen kann ich die Feststellung machen das gutes 2.0 schlechtem 5.1 vorzuziehen ist. SONSTIGES Was die Lautstärke angeht bin ich wirklich überrascht wieviel Potential in den kleinen Edifier liegt. Sie beschallen meinen Schreibtisch mit ihrem Stereo-Klang das es eine Freude ist und haben auch keine Probleme von ihrem Aufstellungsort das gesamte Wohnzimmer (16 Quadratmeter) mit gehörig Pegel zu versorgen. Die Wiedergabequalität verschlechtert sich dabei übrigens nicht, der klare Sound bleibt konstant. Der Regler für die Bässe kommt mir sehr gelegen, grade wenn man zu später Stunde noch etwas Spielen möchte und aus Rücksicht zu den Nachbarn diese soweit es geht rausnehmen kann. Der Kippschalter zum An-/Ausschalten auf der Rückseite ist auch von vorne gut durch tasten zu erreichen. Das der Bassreflexport vorne liegt war ein Kaufkriterium. Die Lautsprecher lassen sich bei mir auf dem Schreibtisch nur wandnah aufstellen und bei rückseitig verbauten Ports wäre mir die Gefahr zu gross gewesen wäre das sich ein Dröhnen entwickelt. Eine kleine Fernbedieung in Klavierlackoptik gibt es mit dazu. Habe sie zu schätzen gelernt weil sie doch ganz praktisch ist um die Lautstärke anzupassen wenn man auf dem Sofa liegt und vom Schreibtisch aus Musik hört. Ein komplettes Kabelpaket wird mitgeliefert, Cinch auf Klinke (bei mir in Benutzung), Cinch auf Cinch und ein Verbindungskabel für die Lautsprecher untereinander (leider kein genormter XLR, sieht nach Eigenentwicklung aus), vorbildlich, so kann man gleich loslegen. FAZIT (ENDLICH) Oha, ganz schön langer Text...wenn ich einmal anfange...also um es wenigstens hier kurz zu machen, wer mit den aufgeführten negativen Punkten leben kann bekommt hier bei all den positiven Punkten wirklich ein tolles Pärchen aktiver Lautsprecher für den Schreibtisch, welche viel Spass in Games und Musik mit sich bringen.

Ces edifier R1700BT sont de très bonne qualité, la finition est impeccable, elles sont un peu imposantes pour des enceintes de bureau, si vous avez un petit bureau mais si vous avez la place, le jeu en vaut la chandelle ! Le son est clair, puissant, les basses et aigus sont réglables depuis l'enceinte principale. Les basses sans rentrer dans de l'infra basses se font bien sentir, même bien mieux que sur mon home cinéma lg 2.1, ou elles manquent cruellement de relief et de profondeur en comparaison... Les câbles fournis de qualité standard, ni plus ni moins, toutefois la fonction Bluetooth donne un son irréprochable, nul besoin pour moi de câbles. A prendre en compte tout de même que on peut connecter un seul appareil à la fois en Bluetooth et qu'aucune confirmation via les enceintes n'est requises, pensez donc à l'éteindre après usage (au moins avec la télécommande) , afin d'éviter qu'un voisin s'y connecte La télécommande est basique mais fait son job. Seul reproche peut-être le câble d'alimentation un peu court mais bon... Bref, personnellement, ravi de mon achat, premier achat de cette marque, qui mérite à être connu, et qui n'a pas à rougir face à d'autre marque plus connues.

Fantastiskt ljud! Kan rekommenderas!

Buone casse,ottimi bassi,si sente la mancanza dei toni medi ma per il prezzo vanno benone , comodo il telecomando e il Bluetooth

COSA CERCAVO AL MOMENTO DELL'ACQUISTO? Detta con tutta sincerità, non stavo cercando casse pronte all'uso da comprare, bensì volevo costruirmele da solo per via della scelta dei materiali e componenti che, pur spendendo la stessa cifra, sarebbero stati di gran lunga più performanti. Scelta quindi la lista dei materiali, ho fatto un giro su Amazon per scopiazzare un po il design finale di qualche sistema audio fra i più blasonati finché non mi imbatto in queste Edifier R1700BT mooolto carine già esteticamente (eh si perché anche l'occhio vuole la sua parte). Leggendo poi un po di dati tecnici e recensioni mi è caduto il mondo addosso: le costruisco o le compro già belle pronte all'uso? Dopo un travaglio mentale di 3 mesi decisi di comprarle ed eventualmente restituirle... tanto con Amazon... figurati! IL CORRIERE & L'IMBALLAGGIO | "u cartuni" (in lingua calabrese) Ovviamente, la consegna non si è fatta aspettare per niente; arrivata nei tempi stimati; Aprendo la scatola il primo sorriso :D Imballaggio pressoché perfetto con tanto polistirolo espanso e bustine velate semi-trasparenti a proteggere ogni singolo componente/cavo/libretti vari; Tolte le bustine dalle casse, un piacevolissimo odore di legno/nuovo salta al naso. IL MONTAGGIO Molto semplice ed intuitivo: le due casse si collegano fra di loro attraverso un cavo nero di circa 2mt (all'apparenza e al tatto di buona qualità) dal diametro apprezzabile e con, alle estremità, due connettori multipolari; Collegato al pc tramite un classico/misero cavo jack/rca e alimentato con il suo cavo di rete; LA PRIMA ACCENSIONE Una volta portati al centro i due potenziometri per la regolazione degli alti e dei bassi (operazione semplificata per via dello "scatto" che fa il potenziometro una volta arrivati al centro della scala/corsa dello stesso), procedo con l'accensione attraverso l'interruttore sul retro; Appena acceso passano circa 1,5s prima di vedere il led verde, Ottimo! il sistema anti bumb (mi sembra che si chiami così) evita il danneggiamento delle casse all'accensione portando l'alimentazione ai livelli di esercizio in modo graduale; IL COLLAUDO | RODAGGIO Inizio abbassando tutti il livelli audio del pc e mettendo una bella song dai suoni molto articolati, alzando graduatamene sempre gli stessi livelli, ne trovo uno intermedio di esercizio ed inizio la regolazione attraverso i potenziometri sulle casse; Una volta trovata un buona regolazione alti/bassi, le spingo un pochino (ma non al massimo) per farle rodare un pò. Trovata quindi questa regolazione dei toni, preferisco non toccarli più per non consumare le slitte dei potenziometri che con il passare del tempo potrebbero danneggiarsi; Edifier questo lo sa bene, infatti nel potenziometro del volume questo problema non si pone visto che, essendo a rotazione infinita, serve a dare solo degli impulsi di livello all'amplificatore interno che alimenta in modo diretto le casse. Ottimo sistema; Secondo una mia personalissima logica, finisco il rodaggio quando non sento più uscire dalle casse quel piacevole odore di legno presente fin dai primi utilizzi (dopo circa 1/2 mesi). Finito il rodaggio inizio a spingere, sempre in modo graduale, le casse che iniziano a farsi sentire nella loro pienezza; IL SUONO | CONSIDERAZIONI FINALI Se le consiglierei? Certamente! è uno degli acquisti più riusciti che abbia mai fatto! VOLUME BASSO/ MOLTO BASSO Mi capita spesso di ascoltare musica stando al pc anche a notte fonda (2/3AM) e, per non svegliare tutti, la tengo a livelli molto bassi riuscendo ad apprezzare le buone qualità sonore; VOLUME MEDIO A questi livelli, si può apprezzare la pienezza di tutti i suoni che compongono un brano, agevolati anche dai potenziometri per poter regolare gli alti e i bassi a proprio piacimento; VOLUME ALTO / MAX Quì il mio secondo sorrisone: Distorsione addio! A questi livelli si apprezza la potenza, i bassi decisi e gli alti puliti che rendono il suono piacevole (anche se i timpani vi diranno addio da li a breve) e con un livello di distorsione prossimo allo 0 udibile solo da un orecchio ben allenato. CONTRO: Il prezzo.. le volevo regalate! (ahahah scherzo! prezzo OTTIMO!) PRO: Sicuramente il prezzo. Suono potente e pulito, qualità dei materiali ottima e soluzioni tecniche degne di marche mooolto più blasonate.
