Edifier T5 Powered Subwoofer - 70w RMS Active Woofer with 8 inch Driver and Low Pass Filter

I've owned about a dozen other subs ranging in varying sizes and power levels and to me this sub is clearly the best value. Its not too expensive at 150 bucks and produces plenty of sound even for a larger room. Pairs particularly well with bookshelf style speakers. I have mine paired with a set of Edifier r1280t speakers. It works well with speakers like this that don't have a dedicated sub out due to the sub itself having a line in and out so you can pair it with and set of speakers that use an RCA regardless... that may be its most handy feature. I am using with a turntable and the sound is incredible. It is slightly larger than I expected seeing it in person, even though I knew the dimensions beforehand, but still fits well underneath a desk... it also has a nice heft to it. It gets quite loud before really distorting, I play guitar along with it and can turn up a large valve amplifier and still hear the base frequencies. I really have nothing negative to say about this sub. If I'm being really picky I guess I could say a remote would be nice for making adjustments rather then having to reach behind the sub, but generally it is a set and forget situation so its not really necessary.

Love Edifier! I bought this sub to boost my G2000's... The sub works great for my needs as I can make multiple sound quality adjustment and most importantly it has a small footprint. It connected effortlessly to my satellites and provides adequate bass. The box itself feels sturdy and looks great under my desk. Very happy with my purchase

I needed a sub to fill in some bottom end for my treadmill room stereo system. I have a pair of Mordaunt Short Carnival 2 speakers hooked up to a Sonos Amp in that room and they sound great. Unfortunately, they have to compete with the sound of the treadmill when I'm going for a run. This little Edifier sub not only gave some grunt to my system but it is also a very musical sub. If you want a bunch of overwhelming distorted WHOMP this sub is not for you. But if you want a sub to add some musical low end to your system, this little mofo is perfect. I wouldn't recommend it for extremely large rooms or massive home theaters but it is absolutely perfect for a 2.1 system in a moderate to small room. It would also do well in a small home theater setup like in an average apartment size living room. A couple parting shots: 1. If you're new to subwoofer ownership...your first inclination will be to crank the LPF and VOLUME knobs on the back and leave them there for eternity. Don't do it. Start at zero and slowly work your way up incrementally...stopping to listen for each adjustment. (Some recommend that you start with the knobs cranked and decrease them incrementally until you can barely hear the sub...then dial the knob one click up from that point...then stop). Regardless of what method you choose, you most likely won't have the volume knob and the LPF knob at the same position once you've dialed in the perfect setting for your room and your taste. Sometimes it takes awhile to find the sweet spot...and it also takes awhile to find the sweet spot on your sub. (I crack myself up!) :0) 2. Placement of a sub and other factors can have a significant impact on its sound. You may want to check some YouTube videos on corner placement, frequency cutoffs, and not letting your small children put candy or small toys in the subwoofer port. I got this sub during the Prime Big Deal Days (it was discounted $50) so I am very happy with this little beast. I can't vouch for its reliability yet, (seeing how I've only had it for about 20 days) but since I hooked up this very musical sub, my treadmill runs have been accompanied by infinitely better sounding music!! Highly Recommended.

If you have Edifer T5 Subwoofer, you need to buy Fosi ZD3 DAC. I am very impressed with the sound and bass quality push thru the Subwoofer. ZD3 reduced bass distortion and improved bass quality tremendously. Before the ZD3 DAC I was using a very small DAC DS220 its work great with Edifier M60 speakers but when connected to the T5 subwoofer, it doesn't sound great and got bass distortion. I bought 2 ZD3. Use one for my TV and one for my PC.
