Help choosing 2.1 speakers

[Sylver]

I have these ones that are 150W and they are great. With them, I have more than enough to watch movies, play music while I clean and to produce at a home studio level.
I turn them up to half and the neighbors already complain apart from that, they don't distort at all, everything is heard with excellent clarity.

Hi, I'm taking advantage of the thread since it's about the same topic.

I would like to buy a decent 2.1 system. Its uses would be on a PC: Music, series, and movies mainly. The most notable feature is the cinema, and I love the bass, that's why I choose a 2.1 and not a 2.0.

Regarding the candidates I've been looking at with low prices:

Woxter Big Bass 260

Product Specifications

• Power: 150 W.
• Ergonomic volume control with cable and dual connection: Headphone connection. Audio input.
• Frequency response: Subwoofer 45 Hz- 130 Hz; Satellites: 90 Hz- 20Khz.
• S/N > 65 dB. Separation > 35 dB.
• Speakers: 6.5”x1 (4 Ohms) +2 satellites 3” (4 Ohms)

Woxter Dynamic Line DL-1100

Product Specifications

• 2.1 multimedia speakers with acoustic technology.

• Ergonomic volume control with cable and dual connection:
• Headphone connection and Audio input.
• Frequency response: 30 Hz- 20 Hz

• Output: 2 RCA.
• Input: 3.5 mm stereo, DIN jack for independent volume control.
• Volume, treble and bass control.

I've also looked at the Edifier S330D:

Prices:

Woxter Big Bass 260 2.1 150W 40 euros

Woxter Dynamic Line DL-1100 2.1 150W 53 euros - 50 in Mediamarkt

Edifier S330D 123,53 euros

Clearly the Edifier are better in all aspects than the Woxter including design, but according to the experiences of the companion Sylver, the BigBass 260 are a good buy if one doesn't want to spend a lot of money.

Which ones would you choose? As for which is superior, I think it would be: Edifier>DL1100>BB260
If anyone knows how to explain a little about the differences looking at the specifications it would help ;D

If this were the case, I would rule out the BB260 and would be between the Edifier and the DL1100.

If anyone wants to comment their opinion, experiences, other models, etc. it would be appreciated.

Regards and I hope for your opinions ;D

Head over to Amazon for the Edifier, with the Premium trial shipping through the step-by-step process (remember to disable it once the purchase is made).

[Sylver]

You already know my opinion. For the uses you are going to give it, the BB260 is more than enough, simply because we share a taste for bass (subwoofer roaring there loudly :ugly:) and I don't think you are going to use it in a large room for dozens of people. Even so, it is worth noting that by setting it to 70% of the total with the sub at 50% you already make it sound in a 140 square meter house in ALL the rooms with the door closed, which is something to say… As I suppose that making enemies in the community or in the neighborhood will not be your intention, I tell you that it is the best option quality/price, and I also suppose that you will not put it at 100% at any time, not even for movies
The Dynamic Line DL-1100 is also a tough nut to crack, which two of my colleagues have, and it also gives a significant fight, honestly. I think that at full volume it sounds a little more beastly than mine, but it is not advisable to reach those noise levels habitually, the truth
As for the Edifier S330D it is clear that they are much more contundentes than the two Woxter models, but it seems to me that unless you want to give a lecture on your balcony for the whole neighborhood, you will have more than enough power everywhere xD However, if you have money, if you think that you will ever need them to entertain a party with quite a few people at home and if you like the design and the white/silver color, the Edifier are an excellent option, without a doubt.

Best regards!

[victorpexacos]

Thanks for your answers ;), in the end I decided on the DL1100, clearly, because of the price.

Anyway, this post will surely help more than one person.

Best regards and I'll let you know how they behave XD

[Sylver]

Good choice :sisi: I hope you enjoy them and that they last, and now to give them hell when you set them up, so that they complain a little in the neighborhood :ugly:

Best regards!

Well, friends, as the title says. My brand new Woxter Dynamic Line DL-1100 speakers broken in less than 2 months…:wall:

I describe the problem:

This morning they were working perfectly, and around lunchtime, with the PC turned off, the speakers make a noise from the small speakers, I think. Every now and then it did it, so I checked the connection to the PC and the power supply, and it kept doing it. I plugged in the PC to see if I could hear anything and they wouldn't play any sound.

To check that it wasn't my PC or the connections, I unplugged the speakers and took them to another room, plugged them into the power supply and connected an MP3 player and it wouldn't play any sound either.

These speakers have a volume control with audio and headphone inputs, so I plugged the MP3 player into the audio input, and the headphones into the headphone jack and the sound did come out of the headphones, but it wouldn't play the low and mid frequencies (vocals or bass).

I don't know what the problem is, anyway I have contacted PCcomponentes to see what they say.

It's a bit strange, but I hope it gets resolved with PCcomponentes and I don't have to open the sub box. If you can think of why it might be, I would be interested ;D

Best regards and thanks.

[victorpexacos]

Well, now that I think about it, I suppose it will be the mini-amplifier in the subwoofer box, right? Since there is no sound coming out, and the amplifier sends the signals to the speakers. Could it be?

[Sylver]

Yes, it is very likely to be the subwoofer amplifier, which goes to the speakers. I am surprised that they have broken like that, without more... something would not be working properly there, I think the warranty should cover you, since you have not misused them.

[victorpexacos]

Well, for now I have already processed the RMA, let's see how everything ends.

Best regards.

[Sylver]

I don't think they will reject it. Patience and luck.

Best regards

[victorpexacos]

Well, yesterday I received the new Woxter Dynamic Line DL-1100 that I processed the RMA for, perfectly packaged and working normally :D. All at a cost of 0 for me.

I must say that for 50 euros these speakers are pretty decent, better for cinema than for music. Good power and good sound. Recommended purchase for tight pockets

Greetings!!

[Sylver]

I'm glad victorpexacos, I knew you wouldn't have problems with the RMA :sisi:
Now enjoy them, and if you go on vacation or take some time off without using them, unplug them, just in case, I try to do that.

Best regards!

[wakamilons]

these for example will be good no? Edifier S530

[Wargreymon]

If you have enough budget, these are some of the best in terms of 2.1 multimedia speakers. Also, keep an eye on the space you have, because these satellites are a bit larger than usual.

[wakamilons]

better even than the corsair sp2500? do you know what the difference is with the D version???? and since they are hard to find to order it in Spain do you know any website?

[Wargreymon]

I would say they are similar to the Corsair or perhaps slightly superior, to me the Corsair subwoofer seems to be poorly designed. The D version I understand comes with digital connections, so you can connect them to your PC via digital coaxial/optical cable (I don't know which of the two it will come with) in addition to the typical jack or RCA.

Veo que en este hilo alguien tiene los DL-1100 y me gustaría saber si me podríais decir las dimensiones de los satélite, porque tengo el espacio un poco justo.

He intentado buscar el manual pero no lo encuentro, en la web tampoco viene indicada esta información y no lo encuntro por ninguna parte.

Muchas gracias.
