EdifierP12 Passive Bookshelf Speaker - 2-Way Speakers with Built-in Wall-Mount Bracket - Wood Color, Pair - Needs Amplifier or Receiver to Operate

I couldn't believe the sound quality from these bookshelf sized speakers!! Really good full range and plenty of bass without sounding buzzy or hollow or tinny. I have sensitive ears and really appreciate higher quality stereo equipment. Got these as a gift for my father in law to use with his old school Realistic monster receiver for the front channels, they really filled their huge living room with sound while I was getting the back channels set up. Would definitely be sufficient all by themselves. They sounded just as good as his old school Realistic Mach IIs that he had professionally redone, and that's really saying something!I really like the woodgrain, it looks nice with the maple/walnut wood tones on the vintage receivers.I think they sound better turned to the side, facing to the left and right of the listening space. You might want to pick up extra speaker wire, I found the wire to be a bit short myself, but I like a lot of separation between each speaker. Personal preference I guess.Great value overall! Remember these are passive speakers, not powered, so they are meant to be connected to an amplifier/receiver.

These speakers are solid performers for a moderate to small sized room. I have them in a small bedroom. At low volume, there is minimal bass distortion with the audio. The woofers aren't 12 inches, so the compact size of these cabinets compromise a sonic trade-off. The quality of the design and of the workmanship is very good. Is the sound Klipsch premium? (Two Klipsch systems are in my household). No, but for most people, these P12 Edifiers sound great and are a very good value. I like them.

I needed a speaker that was small and good-looking. It also needed to match well with my vintage Marantz 2230. I wired them up and was pleased right from the start with the great-quality sound. My bass, mid, and treble controls are in the center dial position and sound great.

I'm a casual music listener, so please forgive that I don't really know how to discus audio gear with authority./UPDATE/As described below, I have hooked up these speakers to my PC along with an inexpensive Fossi amplifier, and the sound is amazing. It is without a doubt, the best sound my ancient Lenovo Desktop has produced. Even though they weren't suitable for the task I bought them for, they remain high value for the money!/End/I bought these (along with a Denon N10, reviewed separately) to partly replace my Como Musica AIO and internet radio . But Como went out of business in January of 2023 (RIP Como, you will be missed). Then my Como went dead from what appeared to be static electricity from my wife's hand. And THEN Frontier internet radio aggregator sent me a letter saying if I wat to continue using my Internet Radio, I need to pay a subscription fee! Enough whining!The sound of these speakers is quite good considering their size, though they are bigger than the speaker enclosure of my Musica. And they DO sound good. However, they are unable to replicate. . . the audio 'presence' of the Como. Even though the specs aren't all that different, the audio 'presence' of the Edifier speakers seem somehow thinner than that of the well tuned Como AIO.I hooked up a pair of 15 year old much larger Cerwin-Vega bookshelf speakers (model unknown, abt 3X the size, with maybe 5 inch woofers) to the new Denon AIO receiver, and the improvement was astounding. The improvement in presence (and the bass, which I suspect is key to what I am looking for, is better than the Como.I'm not going to return them, as I suspect pairing them with my very good, but cheapie, Fossi amp will improve the sound from my Desktop PC.I would buy them again, but not for the reasons I bought them. I clearly need more bass than these little guys can produce. They sound good, real good, and they are beautiful, but they can't do what I wanted them to do.

Quality feel,look,and sound

I moved across country and gave up most of my big equipment when I moved.I wanted a small stereo for my garage, but I am a recording engineer, so no junk was gonna cut it. I read a review of these speakers and laughed. But, I figured I would try and give my own review.These are great speakers. They carry decent lows for having no surface area of a woofer. They have good separation and project well. I really thought I would throw these away and throw a mid-sized Polk in their place, but for my three car garage, there is no need. These do the job JUST fine.If I were blindfolded, I couldn't tell that these weren't a speaker twice the size and three times the price.

These speakers are great. They deliver big sound. I have limited space and decided to try the speakers - I was pleasantly surprised.

These appear to be the same speaker components as in the Edifier P17, with slightly different crossover tuning. The rated power is the same and the frequency response is the same except for the larger P17 box. The P12 has a little smaller box area and there's going to be slightly less bass and volume. However, if you have a 2.1 amp or are using a subwoofer there's no point in spending double your $ on the P17. If you don't have a sub, P17 is the way to go. If you have a sub, these are a good buy. The mids are strong, but the higher frequencies leave something to be desired.
