i just bought the Edifier DA5000 Pro 5.1 speakers from nehru place in delhi. recent price hikes forced me to spend 10k on them.
i set up the system at my place. the components feel great in quality, the units are heavy and have that well-built feel. i am listing down some positives and negatives that i noticed with this unit. please not that the unit is not run in yet and all observations are prima facie.
+ve - unit id well built
+ve - all satellites have tweeters (add lot of detail to the sound)
+ve - the mids are clear from the 4 surround channels (and sound louder that the 12/6wrms that they are rated)
+ve - remote allow on the fly gain adjustments for all channels
there are some bads that stuck out like thorns
-ve - bass is clear but starts distorting at only about 80% volume and you have to keep tuning bass gain to control distortion
-ve - center channel is only rated at 12wrms and sounds HORRIBLE. (vocals sound very recessed... like someone speaking to you over the phone)
-ve - front channel are 12wrms but surround is only 6wrms (seriously? 6wrms in a 10k system???). had to boost surround gain to get a decent effect (but sound did not distort)
over all, i like the system. but the center channel audio is just not acceptable. (frankly, the predecessor, the creative t6200 had better dialogue delivery) and bass is very tacky having requiring to increase to decrease bass to control distortion.
but the satellites are great and can make LOT of noise with the right source.
the only reason i bought this system is because there is NOTHING else in the market with similar price and spec.
are there any other DA5000 pro users here? would you concur with my initial review?
cheers
