Hi,
I’ve been enjoying my R1280DBs for few months by now. Ever since I bought them I was thinking about buying a subwoofer some time in the future. I even looked on Amazon.de for the T5, which looks like a good match for the speakers I have, but I couldn’t buy it since they did not ship it to my country of Czech Republic. I checked it today and it’s available now.
I’m here to get some advice about the sub.
My main questions are:
Is the T5 good for the price (140€ - About the same as the speakers themselves)?
Is it a good match for the R1280DBs in terms of sound and will the improvement be of any significance?
Do you know about some alternatives? (Please keep in mind that I am living in the EU and the audio market is a lot different from the US)
I mostly listen to EDM, but sometimes also other genres such as rap or rock as well. Therefore, I am looking for a subwoofer, as bass is quite essential for the genre.
should be a decent little sub for desktop use and defenitly help the speakers with bass if the room isnt to big
if the edifier arent available this Magnat Sub should do the same as the T5
only question is if its worth investing more into a sub then in the speakers but if space is limited it will do
It is for a desktop PC setup in a small/medium sized room.
I heard that there are some problems with the T5. There have been reports of the auto standby mode kicking in too often, for example when listening to not so much bass heavy tracks. You then need to raise the volume to wake it up again…
Don’t know how exactly that makes it unusable, but would like to hear from someone who experienced it.
I was actually recommended the Mivoc on Reddit a few days ago. It looks good for the price and it’s a ten incher. Only problem is that there aren’t really much reviews of it and I don’t know how I would connect it to the speakers, since it doesn’t have RCA, but speaker cable ports (dunno how that’s called). The sub-out port on my Edies is just a coax.
but if space is limited it will do
