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?

XLR cable for latest batch is 3m.

May I know how you guys setup R2800? My setup as below. Anyway to improve further? I am considering getting a USB DAC.

HTPC (Realtek ALC892 Audio Codec), optical out, foobar (asio/wasapi) --> choseal Hi-Fi Super AV Optical Cable GB-1702 --> R2800

u are using the edifier DAC built inside speaker, giving "cost restrained" quality (u know i know la...)
so an independent DAC will improve along with your quality source (music file)

honestly I've never heard of the BX8 and I forgot the sound of R2600

but about mixing songs, any speaker will do as long as you put all the speakers to flat settings wink.gif

That's what I did when I'm composing something in my college days with my Edifier E3100/Altec Lansing ATP3

BX8a and BX8 is different in many parts especially their cone properties (despite looking similar)

so I wouldn't dare to assume they're blood brothers~

I can say BX8a sounded a little more V shape while the R2800 is a U sounding shape

yea...

the R2800 has more high-mids while the BX8a has a lil muddy mids

R2800 is a bright sounding monitor as compared to BX8a dark signature sound.

BX8a responds to speed better than R2800 though

I hope this is enough lols~
other than that I couldn't say anymore as I personally find R2800 is as good as BX8a (or better because I can adjust the bass/treble to reasonable levels while BX8a... staying as a monitor speaker... can't adjust bass/treble)

im eyeing for this too but my main concern is my room size. my room is small. around 5m x 5m would it be overkill?

should i just settle with the 6" bass version studio 2700..?

only 200 price difference..

My room is tiny when I tested this beast lol

so far no problems with it on low to mid-high volume

I start hearing standing waves when I reached around 75% volume which is pretty ear pain situations lol

it really depends on how you place it.
as for me I'd say if you think it's a little overkill... then don't play such overkill volumes lol sweat.gif

thanks for the info.

well some speakers need to be a lil bit loud to get a good sound.
thats what im concern about since its pretty big. lol.

what about the studio 7? have u tried it? only diff is a smaller woofer 6.25" and lil bit low wattage.

i dont really dig big boom2 bass but its nice to have some decent bass sometimes.

I didn't try it in a controlled situation (tested at a noisy store)

but I can say they are totally different beasts in terms of sound
That is all I can say though notworthy.gif sweat.gif

Sorry, R2800 cannot act as passive speaker.
