Still on music (many different genre from classical, new age, neo-classical, folk, pop, techno, rock, heavy metal, etc), just setup last Monday night. These speakers are big, about the size of an Altec Lansing MX5021 subwoofer thus kinda have to move my hardware around. Also my optical cable was too  short, luckily this speaker package comes with another longer optical cable. And there's a bug with the SPDIF (will explain when I write up in the review). Yes, aside that these speakers are great...  wink.gif

how long you keeping it until? maybe i can come over to audition tongue.gif

(may need your help to take a look at my car speakers' crossovers also)

@ 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.

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 laugh.gif
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 sad.gif
AFAIK Malaysia Samsung never had any dvd player that supports anynet+/hdmi

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

would love to see a pic of your setup  tongue.gif  tongue.gif  nod.gif  nod.gif

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

massive space for massive setup lolol
so much bigger than mine thumbup.gif

I wish i have more flexibility for my table space laugh.gif

I realized in my testings I get some weird whooshing comb filter sounds

can't satisfy without pairing the same brand signature sound.
Mine's basically one orange one apple when it comes to sound and it has gotten super messy especially in the trebles sweat.gif
*
it's my living room la so that's that lol.
my mom's friends made a lot of comment on how the speakers are so big/sound quality being good so it was all worth it tongue.gif

for my own comp table it's just a puny S530D hehe

so far mine was messy too since i had the R2800 to run on optical and C3 on analog. i just couldn't make a perfect sync despite playing around with the optical sound delays.
thankfully i got a 3.5mm splitter later on and both now runs on analog and it's all working perfect now biggrin.gif

sad, mine's on analog and I get delay problems doh.gif

strange, since analog just sends the same analog/electrical signals.

unless the y splitter is having issue? or the crossover frequencies is just different with different brand (not so much delay i don't think)

probably different conflicting tweeters (piezo vs silk) or either they are off phase
no idea sweat.gif

got lazy and put them back in place again  laugh.gif
according to my lecturer he said it could be size problems causing different speeds in oscillations as piezo is quite responsive compared to silk smooth cones

seems like a more complicated problem than anticipated lol

yup yup
color it with dac and eq if you need

but I find it more than flat if you dial the bass and treble knob more than the middle 0 mark
You're getting both flat sound of a studio or the colorful sound of a consumer speaker in one package thumbup.gif
*
i highly agree with this.

i have the treble/bass knobs dialed a few notches biggrin.gif

i got this beast alr..

first impression..mid as usually edifier did a good job..bass deep n enough for me..not bass lover

treble is weird..i hope the burn in can fixed this..

i want to use SC/DAC..which recommend..since SC no popular anymore..im looking for DAC..im interest with aune t1 mk2..is it worth or just stay with edi dac biggrin.gif
*
in addition to having the speakers burn/run in (personally im no believer of it but hey lol), consider dialing around the treble/bass knobs on the unit smile.gif

soundcard is still good but you cannot test them. and they're pricy too

just use the stock DAC inside. only buy new DAC to fill your greed
*
i cant deal with the DAC on the R2800 (digital in), as with the s530D as well.
it seems that there's still ways to go before edifier DACs can be as good as the mainstream sound cards/DAC.

Well at least it sounded better than stock mobo realtek with less electrical noise.

But yes Edifier still got a long way to go rolleyes.gif
*
hmm those realtek these days are actually quite good lol

in fact i had a hard time trying to find creative onboard sound cards (i prefer onboard since i got an external DAC if i wanted some serious listening lol)... even asus that have their xonar and what not? are using realtek even on their highend motherboards :/
