Choice B will sound better depending on what amp you use

that's just my personal opinion but I do remember the KEF Q300 sounds very interesting

How about those sale Jamo speaker and Onkyo AV receiver, just 2.0 setup cause
most of the time watching sport, news and drama.

Last time I was consider the Focal bird speaker system but the price tag compare to Edifier are much more affordable
But Focal Bird sound very impressive

most of those are considered home speakers and they will sound better due to proper coloration

Edifier Studio 8 is designed like studio speakers... no coloration so it's a love and hate situation for those who wanted more

just wondering, what software u use to play the songs?

Foobar ><
with Wasapi

and for my Macintosh... standard itunes

Got dimensions of the speaker?

Thanks... It's freaking huge. Not enough space on my table. I need something smaller than my SP2500, but can be put on my table. Don't know what to buy now. Hehe... BTW, how much will you rate this speaker bass compared to C3?

rate? i don't know man...
it surely is both different beasts~

C3 bass surely lose in terms of volume but powerful in tightness (volume wise just slightly~ I'm not too sure)
R2800 sounds a lil loose in response but dual 8 inchers gonna give you dual subs XD

nice pictures..congrats!

Dual sub so good? Lil loose means less tight and punch bass? I suspect they tend to loose at loud volume right?

Dual subs is just preference~ I like the feel of 2.0 with stereo midbass
but usually bass is omnidirectional so the feel of stereo bass is usually mild

The R2800 woofers have a loose suspension as compared to C3's subwoofer's suspension.

Different spiders used perhaps?

be it loud or soft, they may not be able to catch up on fast songs

I listened to fast song a lot. Need to hunt other speaker. Most of 2.1 are large. Sigh...

@power911

Power911, is this speaker is a good replacement for 5.1 speaker?
Considering to buy this R2800. Recently my Edifier DA5000 Pro burn and it's gone. My connection are. Asus Xonar D2X > Digital Decoder > DA5000 Pro to come out with the digital output.

Any comment if I change from DA5000 Pro 5.1 to R2800?

I couldn't remember how DA5000PRO sounds like but I can say it's 2 different beasts~

from DA5000PRO to R2800... expect bright sounds~ because if I remember the DA5000PRO isn't that bright sounding compared to my S530D speaker~
you can say DA5000PRO trebles are kinda sharp but rolled off while the R2800 just basically pierce like a golden spear~

I couldn't tell much but I'd hope you'll repair your DA5000PRO rather than replacing it with R2800 to save money
when you feel like changing some taste in sound~ then go test out the R2800

Thx for your reply. i just repaired my da5000pro but use only 1 months + and now it burn again. worried is the circuit board got problem.
This time is totally no power again and the fuse is not burn. last time is fuse burn then take to repaired. this time i give up, because b4 this after repaired the woofer is not sound as original tat bassy anymore. it need me to adjust my bass till very high only feel it and it sound loose.

think of buy back 5.1 speaker but no idea should go to which speaker. do you have any recommended 5.1 speaker?

I don't have a good recommendation for 5.1 that I can think of other than Edifier S550 as an upgrade~ sorry

Contemplating the R2800. Anywhere to test it?
Edifier mentioned Technetium which is in Klang?

How long is the XLR cable?
How do they souind on low/mid volume? Do I need to jack up the volume to hear everything these speakers can offer?

not too sure about the length as I don't have the unit with me anymore

They sound best on mid-volume in my opinion and it is up to you to jack up the volume depending on your needs.
