Vale la pena agregar el sub?

[@kunxv15]

I just bought the R1700BT (this is the version without subwoofer input). The bass is indeed boomy but the mids and highs are awesome and clear

[@danimong5369]

Me: There is no difference at all. Also me: (Listening in my monitor's built in speakers) :))))

[@vietht]

I wonder if you adjust the subwoofer too low. I hear almost no different.

[@mainorramirez6610]

The T5 delivers better amplitude for very large rooms, however it might not be necessary for average spaces at all.

[@ElsweyrDiego]

but just the r1700bt doesnt reach 30 or even 40hz. if you want sub-bass, you must have a subwoofer, even in a small space

[@MikMech]

The Edifier BT's are truly fantastic bang for buck speakers. I paid AU$144.00 on sale for the pair shipped. (That's about US$100) Thanks for putting me onto these... Cheers

[@jmporkbob]

I added a BIC Acoustech H100 II sub (12 inch) to my 1700BTs and set the crossover on the sub to 60Hz (functionally that is around the frequency where the 1700BTs start to roll off a lot and I didn't want both of them to reinforce 60-80Hz). I guess I should mention I got the sub on sale for a bit less than the price of the 1700BTs. (No way I'd buy a sub for 50-75% more than the speakers themselves.) Also I plugged the ports on the 1700BTs. Honestly to me it sounds really good for a simple setup like this. If you don't set the gain on the sub too high it's not blowing everything else out and perfectly fills in the subtle low frequencies with great capability. The only improvement I plan to make in the future is to have a better source that can output to the 1700BTs and subwoofer separately, so I can limit the low frequency to the Edifiers so they're not trying to reproduce frequencies below their capabilities. It's still nice to have the option to plug the sub directly into the speakers if I ever need to, though.

[@arriearrie940]

Hi,, could you please tell what connector did you use for sub out port of 1700BTs ?

[@Grow4future]

I think you should make a statement for every test! because we are not getting actual results through the different hearing devices, I appreciate your effort and love to get a statement from the spot. Thanks!

[@Grow4future]

@@DSAUDIOreview I appreciate it! Thank You.

[@RaffaPed]

I found these speakers have nice mid range at lower volumes especially when the music is less complex. Ie less instruments. They seem to struggle with delivering clean mids when the music is more complex,or even when theres a lot of base. Adding a subwoofer fixes this and they really shine when they dont need to generate the punchy bass. When you plug in the subwoofer, the r1700s auto detect this and you can physically see the little woofers move less as they pass the bass heavy lifting onto the subwoofer and focus on mids & high frequencies.

[@kolikari3813]

Is this true? Ive heard otherwise that its the same output with or without the woofer. Anyways just ordered t5 waiting with 1700bts which i unplugged not using disappointed since I upgraded from 1280db the bass is so lackinb😂

[@vegtelenegy]

Thanks for the test, very useful. It helped me in my decision. I bought the Edifier R1700BTs speaker and I am very happy with it. I have not found anything better in this price category. (108 USD, including shipment) Keep up the good work!

[@gsdubz9931]

Hey, just a quick question, do the edifiers get loud and retain the sound quality? Strongly considering these. I have a powered subwoofer I can use with it. Thanks in advance! BRW that's super cheap.

[@vegtelenegy]

@@gsdubz9931 According to my experience, it preserves the quality even at a relatively higher volume. But I have never used it to the maximum. I bought a Canton AS 80 CX subwoofer, and I use it for the speakers. If I connect the woofer, the crossover in the Edifier amplifiers activates and dynamically cuts the very low range, so higher volumes are not a problem either. However, the frequency range of the output signal to the subwoofer is not affected by this cut, so the signal output from the Edifier can be controlled with the Canton crossover. Sorry for my English, I hope I could help.

[@gsdubz9931]

@@vegtelenegy Thank you for the reply! I ask because I've been asked to DJ a small house party, but I don't want to buy a large set of speakers and wanted to see if I could get away with these. Thanks again.

[@vegtelenegy]

@@gsdubz9931 I bought it for listening to music, for this purpose it suits my needs very well. However, it may not be enough for a party, because several aspects may arise there.

Awesome, thanks for this! Could you please tell the settings you used for Subwoofer (lpf and volume?) and for bookshelf speakers (bass and treble?). Cheers

[@jjcornelio7741]

in your opinion, is the t5 worth getting for r1700bt? or will the bass get muddy?

[@JasonLoh-o6g]

I just bought T5 to pair with R1700BT. Without sub, I have to increase the speaker's bass, that causes the sound become muddy. After added the T5, I reduce the bass in speakers, the sound is now much clearer. It's fantastic match.

Any small speaker with a sub is great. It just has to be set right (and low) and only comes in when its called for. Setup setup setup, thats all there is to it. If you dont know how to set it up good, stick to your small 2.0

[@quananginh9446]

the sub gives more bass but not more punch, so the punch must be from the mid driver and tweeter

[@themark3836]

I'm SO glad you said this first! I'm listening to this test with my own 2.1 system ( satellites do have mid and treble speakers ), and for the life of me I can't even tell the sub is there, in fact may sound a bit "cleaner" without it,,, THIS test is blowing my mind!

[@AbsoluteFidelity]

This is what a sub should do, not intrude when its not called for.

[@pta55]

I just bought r1700bts and connect sub-out with elac sub-1020 subwoofer. Since the power amp itself produces low frequency for the sub-out and maintain the highs and mids for the speaker, I think the overall sound should synchronise with each other and produces an excellent sound.

Sound experience is dominated by upper bass boost in both cases. Subwoofer fills the low bass regions that are less present in music spectrum. Even when low bass is audible from subwoofer the upper bass draws the ears to itself, hence the precieved lack of big difference
