MicroLab SOLO6C vs SOLO7C

Musicboffin · 21 May 2012 at 10:07

Been looking for some decent speakers for my pc and a pair of bookshelf speakers seem to be the answer. I don't need surround sound as I have a separate setup for watching films etc. I've come across the MicroLab speakers which people speak highly of, but I'm unsure how both the SOLO6c and SOLO7C differ in every day use.

SOLO7C: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SP-008-ML&groupid=702&catid=22&subcat=719

I'll be using them in my study/home office/beans room (whatever you want to call it). Apart from the extra power, does to the extra pair of speakers make any difference to audio quality? Due to the size, the SOLO6C are probably more practical for mounting purposes, but it seems a bit stupid to rule out the larger pair based on that rather than audio performance. Any input appreciated. Cheers

I will be honest here, the Solo7C just offer a better higher volume level, and a slightly higher bass level.

The audio qaulity if you are not blasting away at high volumes is the same, so in that case by the 6C's.

I had a set of 6C's and upgraded to 7C's and did a review of the 7C's.

Next year I don't think I'll have room for my amp and speakers so might need to 'downgrade'.
So slightly off-track but I'd like to know how the 6C compares to the Edifier if anyone would be able to shed light on that.

Which Edifiers?

Sorry didn't realise there were more than one. The R1600T.

That is what I suspected, thanks for the confirmation.

Wow, just looking up the dimensions of the different speakers and the Solo speakers are quite big! (Volume-wise)

The 1C is about the same size as my current speakers, and the 6C is bigger than them. The R1600T is just over half the size of them which seems a lot better.
