After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.

Edifier E1100 2+1 Speaker System
Author: Dennis Garcia
Published: Sunday, October 28, 2007
Conclusion
In terms of overall styling the Edifier e1100 takes the cake. The high gloss finish and aluminum accents really finish this product off in terms of style and combine that with an elegantly designed office and you'll get a visual combination that anyone could be proud of.
Sadly that does mean you'll need to file away those project papers and extra soda cans to really get the full effect. .
Overall sound quality was average for a 2.1 speaker system of this size. We can attribute this to several factors including speaker size, the lack of a separated midrange, and low amplifier wattage. Despite this, overall frequency response was good and with some creative equalizer settings the "hollow" sound of missing frequencies could be minimized
As you may have guessed the Edifier e1100 is not for everyone, given the relatively low cost we can conclude that this produce is designed for visual bling than audio bliss, but who can blame them.
