Thankyou so much for all your replies!The S series (S2000Pro and the superior S2000MKII) is definitely way ahead of the R series. If you can get the S2000MKII for that price, you can rest assure that you have onr of the best Edifiers to date. What I like about the R1700BTS and R1850DB/R1855DB is the sub out option, they dont have it on the S series. If you dont mind not having a sub out and can afford it, go for the S series.
If you meant you could get the R2000DB for an extra 50 bucks, it really depends as it sounds a wee bit better than the R1700BTS but do not have a sub out.
The s2000mkii is easily 3 steps ahead of the r1700bts!Thankyou so much for all your replies!
i will see if s2000mkii is available. If not, id probably just take the 1700bts!
xDDDD To me, this is the second best joke for now, only behind the unbeatable "the only thing that filters, is your bank account".What is that? You are sick of my gardening stories and you didn't come here to read stuff like this? Well, donate some money for heaven's sake so I can't have to tell you these things to get inside your pockets!!!
Welcome to ASR. Yes, the EQ/PEQ setting will need to be recalibrated.I am considering adding a sub to my set up (prob the Edifier T5), would my current EQ settings need to be adjusted
Hi,
Here is my take on the EQ.
The resulting EQ is very close to the initial seed i.e. flat LW with also abounds to the "easy to EQ" direction.
Using EQ APO or similar to keep with the low cost may result in a very cost effective system, within the SPL limits of the speaker.
No EQ score: 1.97

EQ design:
the EQ version needs to be boosted quite a bit for A/B tests so the overall max SPL may be lower than the raw speaker

But the vertical directivity is rather poor because of the high Xover point (similar to the Dynaudio LDY 5) :

You can read from this post onwards!Hello! I know this is an old topic, but how do I add this EQ settings in APO?
Pretty cool find. Looks like if you get the TAS5713EVM (Evaluation Module) up and running, you should have access to 7 biquads rather than the two presets (Bass and Treble). You will also need the MC57xxPSIA board:Greetings. I have these speakers set up with a raspberry pi running Moode and apply EQ via the parametric equaliser provided by Moode. However looking at the speaker itself I see that Edifier uses a TI chip with built in EQ and the ability to tweak it using provided software. Here is a link to the TI user guide -
Before I start my own hacking, had anyone looked into this? What is unclear is how difficult it will be to set up the needed usb connection...
I think what you're noticing is the lack of bass (or bass capability). If you have room for a small sub, that's what I'd recommend.That being said, the likes of Pearl Jam has sounded a bit muddy to my untrained ears. I wanted to tweak the sound with the info provided here so installed APO and Pace and imported the files that have been kindly shared in thread. I did not notice any impact at all, and as such don't think APO/Pace was actually working. So to my question. Is there any way to definitively tell if APO is having any impact and to trouble shoot if not? I am on Windows 11 and have a USB SoundKey acting as the DAC from the PC to the speakers.
Thanks. I have the T rather than the Ts, so unfortunately there's no option to add a sub. I do think part of the issue is just how different they sound to the old kit. I was hoping to mess with the EQ a bit just to tweak the sound to my ears, but currently to no avail.I think what you're noticing is the lack of bass (or bass capability).

You can use a sub with RCA IN/Outs. Instead of connecting the RCA's to the inputs of the Edifiers, you connect them to a sub, then output from the sub to the Edifiers.Thanks.
