XLR cable for latest batch is 3m.

Saw it at Viewnet Lowyat Plaza..

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

I used T-Muso PCM2704 analog output with stock cables lol

plain foobar set to dedicated DAC without wasapi

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)

hello may i know ur personal comparisons with this and ur M-Audio BX8? Im starting to learn how to produce songs but i dont have the budget for REAL studio monitors...so wana see these how do they turn out for mixing? And im actually looking for the smaller brother for this which is the Studio R2600 but reviews too low out there XD wondering whether u've heard of it?

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

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

Ohh cause u mentioned U have the M-Audio BX-8a for close reference in the initial review? haha XD

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~

oh yeah they do look quite different haha, so how was BX8a compared to this model then?

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)

Alright thanks alot bro =D

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

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

Compare this with the Hivi/Swan M200 Mk II for music?

couldn't remember how M200MKII sounds like... sorry

Can this Edifier act as a passive speakers? I don't wanna waste my tube amp.

Sorry, R2800 cannot act as passive speaker.
