Review on 🔊 Edifier R1700BTs Active Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers - High-quality Wireless Studio Monitor Speaker - 66w RMS with Subwoofer Line Out by Richard Counts

This has been my THIRD R1700 set in the last two years, not by replacing broken sets but by replacing other speakers. They sound so good to me that I replaced two sets of professional studio monitors (iLoud Micro Monitors and an LP6 set) with them. I have a small home recording studio and while professional monitors do what they are supposed to do (near field monitoring) I constantly turn to other speaker sets for critical listening and return to the studio for corrections. When I first started using Edifier round trips were reduced by half or more. When these updated versions became available I used a pair for the Sub Out feature. Once I plugged it in, I immediately liked the USED remote (the previous version was terrible; first of all, I couldn't see the labels on the buttons). The remote is bigger, the buttons are bigger, the labels are legible, and best of all, it has a power switch (no more fumbling around the back of the speaker for a toggle switch or forgetting to turn it off). So I added an Elac SUB1010 to them and took the sound to the next level. After listening to these speakers with a subwoofer for at least 10 minutes and then turning the subwoofer off, you'll wonder how you thought that was enough. They are, but add a subwoofer and you have a small but powerful, full-featured shelving system. Another word for Elac, get one. I looked at sub-$200 subwoofer reviews and found that the Elac has the lowest frequency response, smallest footprint, and lowest price at $129 for the Revain. I can't say enough about the R1700BT, but last but not least they sound great, the updated remote and subwoofer cost an additional $10 (there's another version without these features) and they're low profile enough for music mixing and too create. Highly recommended after more than 2 years of use.
