description Edifier R1700BT Overview
The Edifier R1700BT pairs wood-effect cabinets with built-in amplification, providing a compact stereo system without a separate amplifier. Each speaker uses a four-inch bass driver and a separate tweeter, rather than a full-range driver. Bluetooth handles wireless playback, while dual RCA inputs accept compatible analog sources. The angled cabinets help direct sound toward a seated listener, making the pair a practical fit for a desk.
Its traditional appearance suits rooms where exposed audio equipment forms part of the furnishings. The speakers are intended for everyday music listening, with onboard tone controls allowing some adjustment to taste and placement. A warmer balance can appeal across different genres, although that impression is subjective. Television use requires a compatible analog output or an external converter because this model lacks an optical input.
