Nice... The review for basshead is what I wait for. Seems like a good buy. But they are massive and small table will have a problem.
And yes, not many shop or people know about this speaker. Spent few weeks in Melaka and I try give a call to buy from them, they either doesn't know the speaker released in Malaysia or didn't know such model exist. |

Then will see how well the speakers (primarily designed for music listening and as studio monitor) will cope. If you want to check it out then give me a call first.

QUOTE(power911 @ Oct 19 2013, 03:58 PM) First Impression ![]() HUGE! As in MASSIVELY HUGE! For anyone who is considering this unit, do make sure you have a strong wide table with lots of empty space to place it on. A wide tv console is the best spot for this unit if you intended to use these as a home theater speaker. ![]() The speakers are covered in beautiful black wood veneer. Not too sure if it’s real wood veneer or some pvc stickers but it sure looked luxurious thanks to that. The front grille comes with a very soft but strong cloth material which serves pretty well protecting the speaker cones from poking or any objects flying to it. ![]() Opening the grille reveals the wonderfully pretty silver cones. The cones feel like reinforced paper to me. Not too sure about the material but paper cone is surely a good form of warmth I should be expecting. Each side comes with a massive front firing port for the 8” woofer’s massive airflow. The port is protected with a thin cloth net behind it to prevent things from falling in to the speaker. It’s a 3 way Active Crossover speakers which means each pair of tweeter, mids, and woofer are individually amped. Very noticeable hiss in this particular unit though compared to most of the edifier speakers I've tested. But it's okay because once you starts playing something with it, the hiss is barely noticeable. ![]() ![]() ![]() Looking at the back of the speakers didn’t really impress me too well as the speaker cables provided for the slave speaker is “hard-wired” which means you are only limited to the provided length given. It is, however, given to you a 5-pin XLR cable (right-angled) so there’s no mistake for any problems about connectivity. In fact, when it comes to connectivity, everything is made super simple to set up and it’s difficult to make a mistake. ![]() The volume control on the side even has a quick guide on what color represents which input. There are 4 total inputs namely PC stereo, AUX stereo, or if you fancy digital inputs, an optical in or coaxial is also provided at the back. Just switch between those inputs by clicking the volume knob and it will switch inputs. The knobs feel great. The bass and treble volume is potentiometer typed volume control and the turning resistance is not too stiff nor is it too smooth. It is just perfect as it is. Volume ranges are -6 to 0 to +6 for both treble and bass volume and it clicks center when you turn to 0. The master volume features a digital multi click-roll type volume. Very responsive volume control and it feels great too. Position may be a little awkward as the massive R2800 makes changing volume a little far to reach so you might want to swap the left and right speakers around. There are no heatsink at the backplate for cooling. I’m not sure if this is normal? But I have to say it does heat up quite a bit. Enough to know that it is beyond warm even with no music is playing. Think of an ordinary laptop running warm due to games or any heavy loaded programs. That’s the heat coming out of this speaker on idle. It’s not very eco-friendly knowing that my room gets warmed up too quickly with this hotplate. ![]() ![]() Other side comments would be the remote control provided. It comes with a sexy looking mini brick like remote rather than the modern card remote. Being a brick-like remote is good as you can use ordinary batteries to save money rather than having a hard time finding expensive button cell batteries for card remotes. It’s a good thing. The Remote comes in a shiny black gloss finish with metallic silver colored buttons and silver base. The battery lid is a standard black plastic though. Batteries are easy to install like how most television remote works. No screws, no clips to pry, just slide and place the batteries and you’re ready to go. ![]() Great remote to begin with but I do not like how cheap the buttons are. The plastic buttons features a very stiff click feel and the worst part is that the buttons has sharp corners that catches your fingers. The buttons reminds me of those cheap low class plastic molds that come in a kid’s toy car remote. Remote is not very responsive on some cases as turning the volume up and down doesn’t make any noticeable difference in it unless you hold it on for quite a long time. Vigorously clicking the button helps though. It is definitely not a luxurious feel for a luxurious looking remote. |
