Peter-E Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Just bought a pair of these after doing some research. I found they reviewed well and came in the top 10 of one review against speaker 10x their price. Anyone else have a set? I was thinking to add them to my 7.1 as surround speakers?

audiodude Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 not many people is into cheaper brands around here.. regardless of their sound prowess. a shame because there's tons of new brands that are worth looking into. I'm also interested in edifiers as an affordable and compact solution for my desk. I highly doubt that you can use active speakers in any multichannel config unless you buy a decoder (which you would be loosing the benefit of a cheap setup) and to top it all off decoders just decode, they don't apply any phase/volume/tone or any adjustment. only receivers do (which are powered) however, edifier does make unpowered speakers.. so you can check those out.. with a receiver of course.

I already have a Pioneer SC-LX76 for home theater. This receiver has the outputs for connecting additional amplifiers. So i was thinking the powered Edifier is basically amplifier inside the speaker so why could i not connect these speakers to the "surround channel amplifier"? As standalone powered speakers connected to my TT I am pretty happy with the sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiodude Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 that should work. but you're doubling up.. unnecessary to have 2 amps, both on the speakers and receiver. if you want to keep the receiver, buy the edifiers with no amp. they're cheaper.

These Edifiers will end up in my computer room. I may look at the passive speakers to connect up later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
