Tailored for nearfield listening, the R1700BTs deliver clear highs, tight midrange and a surprisingly wide soundstage from the compact 4" / 0.75" drivers; onboard tone controls and Bluetooth 5.0 add connectivity and tweakability. Their MDF cabinets look substantial and they excel on desks and small rooms, though reviewers at ecoustics note limited bass authority in large spaces.
Pros
- Detailed, well-defined treble and clear midrange that highlights piano, guitars and cymbals.
- Generous connectivity (Bluetooth 5.0, dual RCA, sub-out) plus tone controls and remote for flexible setups.
- Strong nearfield/desktop performance with an effective soundfield spatializer and solid MDF build/finish.
&
Cons
- Bass lacks low-end authority and can sound thin in larger rooms without a sub.
- No USB input for direct PC connection, relying on Bluetooth or RCA.
- Supplied speaker connector cable is very long, inconvenient for desktop/nearfield placement.

Bass
80/100
4" woofer with front-ported cabinet and 52Hz spec. Reviewers note bass is not abundant but usable near a wall and fine for nearfield/desktop use; lacks sub-bass in larger rooms.
Mid
84/100
Clear vocal presence and satisfying lower mids for small-room listening; reviewers caution the lower mid/upper-bass can become a bit muddy when tracks are busy.
Treble
88/100
0.75" soft-dome tweeter delivers clear, well-defined highs — glassy pianos, plucky guitars and shimmery cymbals are highlighted without reviewer complaints of harshness.
Soundstage Imaging
84/100
Soundfield 'spatializer' noticeably widens perceived soundstage and improves separation in nearfield setups; in larger rooms imaging is more directional and less room-filling.
Dynamics
78/100
Adds a bit of punch for TV and nearfield listening; reviewers say the spatializer helps dynamics somewhat but overall headroom and slam are limited by the small drivers and modest power.
Show Less
Build Quality
86/100
MDF cabinets with walnut vinyl finish and removable grilles; reviewers find them better looking and feeling more substantial than typical computer speakers.
Features Connectivity
90/100
Active speakers with Bluetooth 5.0, dual RCA inputs, 3.5mm sub-out with auto crossover, tone controls, remote and a soundfield spatializer — generous connectivity and useful extras.
Value for Money
88/100
At about $180 (review cited), the speakers offer strong nearfield performance, versatile inputs and a remote; reviewers portray them as a solid, practical buy for small rooms and desktop use.
