Review on Edifier R1280T Active Bookshelf Speakers - 2.0 Stereo Near Field Monitors - Wooden Enclosure - 42 Watts RMS - Ideal for Studio Monitoring by Wei Shin Yin ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Feel free to buy, for such a price, the quality is simply amazing.

I bought them for the kitchen for the TV. The kitchen is unfortunately not suitable for normal acoustics. I don't even have curtains on the window - blinds. Therefore, there are resonances at low. But I placed them as best I could, hung them on brackets (I made holes in them with self-tapping screws) - it's a pity there are no special loops for hanging, I had to ruin the walls and, accordingly, the guarantee for the speakers. But that's my problem :) The speakers are very powerful, the sound in music and movies is excellent. Especially in music! The manufacturer recommends making the distance between the speakers 1 m 50 cm. Keep this in mind! I have 100 cm between the columns - probably not enough. But even at this distance, the stereo panorama is decent. In cinema, the effects sometimes even make you look back, despite 2.0. In general, the main thing - before buying, make sure that your room, kitchen are prepared for such speakers, so as not to be disappointed. 80 percent of successful sound is your room. Place the speakers symmetrically with respect to the walls so that the left and right of each have the same distance from the walls. I have a complete failure in this - on the left is a 20 cm window, on the right is the whole kitchen. And that sound is great!

Pros
  • - cool sound - a very useful remote control
Cons
  • there is no special place on the back for mounting on the wall
