    I’ve sold many pairs at my record store, often paired with an AT-LP60 turntable, for a good starter system. I use pair for computer speakers and they’re ideal in a small space, close listening setup.

      hi 👋🏼 would you say that at-lp60xbt + these speakers as a good setup? im torn between lp60x and lp3x, but here in malaysia the latter costs almost double the price of the former..

    I bought a set of used S1280DB for 30 euro they are in new condition! They are really nice, they have a surprisingly low bass. The treble should be turned all the way up to max for more clarity.
    I also have the Edifier S2000mkiii (200 euro used in new condition with warranty) which are of course a step up, but these S1280DB are really nice for the price and they produce a sound that is enjoyable to listen to.

    I -Live markets a bargain AT mag cartridge phono that has its own pre-amp. It also has a 3-speed switching capability that makes it comparable to the vintage Garrards and BSR's that remain available today. I hooked up my Edifier to a 4 function a/v switcher box to utilize the phono along with a Rolls mini FM tuner, 1980's TEAC cassete deck, and 2001 Sony cd/dvd player. All sound great through the Edifier's integrated amp.

    It was very helpful, thank you very much.
    My birthday's coming up and i've recently been getting into vinyl and my Aunt has a Crosley turntable i've been using until i saw it damages records, so i'm getting my own. I'm asking for the lp120x and was looking for some speakers I can ask for from my mom that won't be too much so i can get a few other things since the turntable is already so expensive.
    I really appreciate it, thank you

    I love the content and quality man! I just got my first turntable a few day ago for my birthday. I got the Sony PS - LX310BT.
    I'm looking for speakers that can balance between rap (Ex. Tyler The Creator) and Classic Rock (Elton John). Do you think the Edifier is the best option?

    • @nloop
      @nloop  Рік тому +3

      Happy bday and congrats on your turntable. I love that one!
      I think Edifier is the best option for this price range, especially since Tyler uses bass to great effect. I would say if you have more budget to spare, there’s some incredible other options but the price would be much higher. I have a video on those coming out next week, or check out the speaker review comparison on my channel for a better idea! You can’t go wrong either way

    Hi
    I love your content. Im in the loop of geting my first turntable and powered speakers. Been looking at Edifier for some time now but i found the Kanto yu6. By getting them i can get rid of the soundbar and subwoofer i use at the TV atm.
    I just gotta find out what turntable to get 😂
    Actually been looking at the lp60xbt, but i really want a white turntable.
    Much love from Sweden

      Thanks for your comments! I have some reviews of turntables on my channel, but if you want a white one, there's some good options out there. THe Fluance RT81 has a piano white version that looks gorgeous. In fact, I was contemplating picking one up to review it, would be a few weeks before I could do that though.
      Another speaker you may like that would service your needs for hip-hop & edm are the Klipsch R-51PM's, they are twice the price of these Edifier's but still cheaper than the Kanto YU6's you mentioned! I have a video about those in the works now.

      The fluance series of turntables has been under my radar aswell, problem is getting it from Canada will be extremely expensive since im in the EU. I havent found a retailer on this side of the ocean. I have been looking at the RT82 or even the RT83

      I'm guessing you've figured this out since it's been 2 months, but the bluetooth is so you can pair devices like your cellphone, or maybe a tv. Most if not all record players will require you to use cables to connect the speakers.
