Edifier spinnaker setup

I also paid a fair amount of money for them - and they don't do wireless hell, I had to cut my own speaker wire and buy a stereo receiver. The Spinnakers, at a moderate volume, sound almost as good as those do. They are a tad bass-heavy, and less "warm" sounding, but most people will probably like that.

Each of the satellites packs a 25 watt subwoofer, a 10 watt midwoofer, and a 10 watt tweeter. That's a total output of 90W for the whole system, which is extremely impressive given this is a 2. However, if that's not enough, you can hook up an external sub if you want, via a port on the active speaker.

They sound truly fantastic - I was absolutely floored. There is almost no distortion at maximum volume, and what little of it there is stems from the subwoofers, which have a tendency to rattle their plastic enclosures when pushed to the limit.

Treble and midrange, though, are absolutely pristine. And if you want a detailed audio evaluation, just check out Sound And Vision's rave review. Design: Love it or hate it, the Spinnakers look like no other speakers on the planet. The seem like something you would find in an Ikea model room, or a really upscale, super-modern hotel.

They ooze edginess. Personally, I'm not a huge fan, but I can see how the styling would be really appealing to some folks. Connectivity: Aside from RCA cables, you get all the connection options you'd probably want for pumping sound into the Spinnakers: Bluetooth, 3. Bluetooth reception is great, and I've had zero problems with it. I tested the 3. Remote: The little remote control I've not had it go out of range, and it does what it says: turns the speakers on and off, adjusts the volume, and mutes them.

It's intuitive, simple, and it has a microUSB rechargeable lithium ion battery. The only gripe I have is that the rubber bottom doesn't stick to surfaces well enough, so I usually just end up picking it up. I think that one explains itself. You have to want a new speaker setup to justify the Spinnakers, and that's not a purchase decision you'll take lightly.

Optical Cable. To ensure the speaker sits flat to the surface, there are indented grooves for each cable. This style certainly makes it look a lot nicer than a standard plastic slab style remote but does come with some drawbacks.

Firstly it takes some learning to actually use thanks to having only one button and twisty dial. Unfortunately, the speakers themselves have no buttons on them, meaning that the control is required to use them and switch between different outputs. It would have been nice to see some buttons on the speakers, even if they were tucked away on the back somewhere.
