can do if u dont mind about warranty void.

do u mean modify it? Dissemble it and solder to a banna plug and plug with my own amp ?

exactly, modify it.
you can test run your tube amp with left speaker first

ok cool. thanks for the idea.

Power911, how would you compare this with AudioEngine A5+ in overall?

I don't remember how the Audioengine sounds anymore but..........

I can say there are more bass and treble than the A5+ as long as you crank it more than 0

feel like getting this pair of speaker and have to get a pair of speaker stand for these~ anyone have recommendation what speaker stand to use for this speaker? about 28" height

i am using Hivi Swans MT-ST2 Speaker Stands to pair with this set of speaker.

power911 How does this compare to R2700? (R2700 vs R2800). Is it worth the upgrade of RM200?

R2700 is more musical if I'm not wrong.
I forgot how the R2700 sounds like already but I know the bass is tighter than the R2800

R2800 is more cinematic fuller sound though

Yup, I agree with you. Tested at Sri Computer @ Lowyat.
The R2700 is more confined compared to R2800. R2800 suitable for movies (bigger soundstage)
Also need to play higher volume to sound good (about 2-3 volume up) compared to the R2800 when both treble+bass set at 0 (balance).

@ power911,
Edifier R 2700 or R 2800 Vs MIcrolab Solo9c which will give me better sound, like tight bass/beat, music/tweeter performance. I like clear sound (not boom-boom/bassy). Remember... in my country R2800 is not available, but R2700 price is 28000 Tk (RM1210) and Microlab Solo 9c price is 19000 Tk (RM820). Edifier S530 is also availabe. I need a good help.

hi, if anyone interested in a R2800, please pm me to discuss. Used 1 month, purchased march, after use a while, dont like the sound, wanna sell back.

help you tag power911
in the future, either reply to his post, or use:

Pm me best price

mann I didn't even notice this question ahahahhahaa
Thanks for the tag


Sorry for the late reply. Hope you still need my help. (not sure if I could even help or not )

I personally have not tested the Microlab Solo 9c as it is not available in my country.

By my estimation (from reading reviews only) the Microlab Solo 9c should fit your requirement for tight bass

The Edifier R2700 is quite a good choice for speed tight bass but how responsive it is against Microlab Solo 9c... I would say Microlab is better due to four 6.5" woofers working together rather than R2700 two 6.5" woofers.

Those are just merely prediction from me and may not be true to real products.

but if I were to compare R2700 and S530D, The S530D gives a deeper bass while maintaining tight speeds.

I apologize again for a late reply but I hope this would help you

remember how i always bitched about the Edifier C3 being piss poor on the mids?

i fixed it by having a R2800 running in parallel (3.5mm Y splitter to both C3 and R2800 PC input), and voila... decent "hi-fi" system for around/less than 1k without a AVR/DAC/AMP
the puny (in comparison to the R2800 rofl!) C3 speakers sits on top of the R2800 speakers, subwoofer still at the same corner/spot on the ground.

to further quench my thirst for HD, i even purposely imported a Samsung hdmi DVD player that's region unlocked from Amazon US lol. (from rough lookup, that particular model is only sold in saudi, and it's parallel imported for region unlocking and what not)
since a lot of my imported japanese DVD are region locked and the dvd player that's region free here typically runs on component output without hdmi
AFAIK Malaysia Samsung never had any dvd player that supports anynet+/hdmi

mann I never thought of playing more speakers at once
I'm curious on how you control the volume simultaneously

would love to see a pic of your setup

(gotta dig my old sony bookshelves + nad302 to pair with my Edifier S530D to see what you experienced)

well the C3 ALWAYS reset the volume to "30", while the R2800 has no display, so i just agak agak set it to a volume slightly above the C3 (assuming the volume holds constant and does not reset, haven't really got the time to test this out)

then voila just control from my tv (since i dont have additional avr/amp/dac)

and from my bluray/dvd players since they all samsung, anynet function links them all up and i pretty much just use my tv remote to control everything lol.

pictures asap so long i remember to take them when i get back XD

haha thanks to your inspiration you got me digging my old massive speaker for pairing



Currently testing things out XD

I'm starting to miss the sound or R2800
