The Corsair SP2500 2.1 sound system is serious gear. Having a good sound system is crucial to gaming, studio work, and getting the best experience from a high end PC setup. Actually, having a decent sound system is just a part of life.
I’ve been an audiophile for as long as I can remember. I’ve had the opportunity to try a number of different computer speaker systems.
When I was ordering an audio system for my new rig, I wanted a good pair of speakers and a decent sounding sub to go with it. After all, I do more than just listen to music or play games with my machine. I often use my desktop to edit video with Premiere, record and edit voiceovers, and master audio so I needed a system that could rock but still reproduce great tonal quality.
I was fortunate to have selected the Corsair SP2500 high power speaker system as a worthy companion for my PC. From the moment the heavy 35 pound box arrived at my door, I have been enjoying these fantastic speakers daily at high volume. PC speakers are generally a dime-a-dozen, so what makes these unique?
Other than the massive subwoofer (YES, that’s a 4th order bandpass!), a lot. For starters, the external control module offers a fantastic LED display and offers numerous presets such as classical, pop, rock, and action gaming.
My favorite preset? The control module offers a “reference” setting that makes these speakers sound just as good, if not better, than some studio monitors twice their size or cost. Plus, the class D amplifier kept within the 4th order bandpass subwoofer enclosure provides plenty of power (232W) for the system. This is a good thing, because the Corsair SP2500 subwoofer is power hungry.
The subwoofer is huge, I mean, stupid huge. You can use it as a foot rest. And is it loud? It will piss off your neighbors, I promise. However, it’s not just loud. The quality of the lows is quite impressive. It almost sounds like it belongs in the trunk of a car and not under a desk. It vibrates a few walls here.
So far, I have nothing but great things to say about the Corsair SP2500 and I’ve owned mine for approximately 6 months. They have been played quite heavy and still showing no signs of distortion or crackling of sound. If something should go wrong, the boards are easily replaced. The Corsair SP2500 has two boards that could go bad, and if they do, there are parts readily available. I believe the price was $50 per board last time I did check.
The Corsair SP2500 comes with a one year manufacturer warranty, but it’s always good to know that they designed the system so that it could be repaired if something were to go wrong with one of the boards. With the power these speakers are capable of delivering, I am sure that’s always a possibility.
The Corsair SP2500 offers fantastic highs, good midrange, and earth crushing lows from a 4th order bandpass. What’s not to love?
