Hi guys, I’m looking to buy a good speaker to listen to my vinyl/turntable (AT-LP60BT).
From a quick google search, I found most suggestions between Edifier R1280DB versus Presonus Eric 3.5.
Anyone here who owns either one of these speakers (or both haha) or had experience with it, can share which is a better sound system?
Will be listening in a small living room (condo). Thanks for the help.
Better or not is very subjective. I guess we can guide you to getting a speaker that suits you since they're like clothes.
tl;dr suggestion
-R1280DB for the top tier ease of use and fun colorful sound with jam-packed features
-Eris 3.5 for the most neutral box that represents the true sound
I like R1280DB and easily recommend it to anyone since it sounds amazing AND includes lotsa flexibility such as remote, bluetooth, multi-inputs that suit both pc and small tv console.
But when it comes to raw "non-processed" sound, the Eris 3.5 does it more raw and direct. It still has DSP inside to tune and tame it when it gets too loud, it's just... a speaker that sounds good. That's it.
I prefer the Eris 3.5 sound "and looks" in general but I would buy the R1280DB if I had to choose.
But if I know I won't be using it much other than work and display, the Eris 3.5 looks nicer to my eyes.
