Review: Trying Something New, Didn't Bite Me in the A** - I recently decided I wanted a turntable in my bedroom, but I did not want to have to also have the stereo receiver to listen to records, so I decided to go with a turntable with built-in pre-amp and purchased these speakers based on price and reviews. I've heard plenty of bookshelf speakers that sounded hollow and tinny - these speakers are high-quality, and sound better than my home stereo speakers. Their classic wood-finish and sleek face plates would look good on a bookshelf, but I have mine at opposite ends of my turntable atop record racks and it looks equally stylish. There are separate bass and treble controls, and these speakers are loud enough to disturb the neighbors, without sounding like a wall of noise. Though it was not a feature I was looking for or had noticed, the inclusion of a remote was a wonderful surprise, and now I can control the volume from anywhere in my bedroom. I am likely going to order another set of these and do away with one of my receivers. I'd fully expect 99% of the people who purchase these, will not be disappointed. I should also note, these can be connected to a pc... ironically, I only researched Edifier speakers because that is what I use with my PC and I have loved the quality and rich sound. I don't know if all Edifier speakers are made equally well, but these are as close to perfection as I've ever heard in speakers without having to sell an organ to afford them.
Review: they provide a good and clean sound - When I was looking for a pair of powered bookshelf speakers for my record player, I wanted a blend of quality and affordability. I found that in these speakers. They won't satiate an audiophile but, they provide a good and clean sound. Bass and treble knobs on the side give you the ability to adjust them to your liking. They look great as well. I would highly recommend these speakers to anyone looking for new computer speakers or for a record player. This pair was a refurbished pair that came at a cheaper price point than new and I cannot tell a difference. You can tell that the packaging was used previously but, everything was packed neatly and expertly. I will say that this is the best experience that I have had with a refurbished item. Summary: Great blend of quality and affordability. Professionally refurbished (I can hardly tell a difference!) Would make perfect computer speakers or entry-level reference monitors.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb quality at a very low price, something that is hard to find
*by A***R on October 29, 2019*

I had a 20w bluetooth portable speaker attached to my desktop and i wanted to buy another one of the same type to have a better stereo effect. I was not using the bluetooth as it was always connected to the desktop. While searching, i came upon this and the reviews were great. I'll say that the reviews are accurate that it is an extremely good set of speakers. The music sounds a lot better and clearer with proper bass when compared to both car's stereo that i have. I have a 7.1 channel speaker system in my living room and it is definitely comparable in sound quality (not the loudness and bass though). However as a desk speaker, i feel that any more bass would really make the sound muffled, so to me the bass is enough. Loudness is more than enough for a decent size room or even a large living room. Comparable or even better than the bose sounddock series II that i have. I bought the refurbished one and could see nothing that would suggest it to be a refurbished one. As good as new. Worth every penny for the $80 that i spent.
