How is it there isn't a single desktop audio company that is even bothering to compete with them? They have an entire massive market for themselves. They seem to be competing with themselves more than anything at any price point there's a speaker from them.
>>
>>108631464
What are you on about? They are mediocre shit only retards and poorfags buy.
popular =/= good
>>
save up for kalis or genelecs, this is only decent at best
>>
logistics sucks, and a too-niche/low-profit market
but even tho, jbl, kef, adam, kali, ik multimidia have better speakers for a little more
>>
>>108631464
Edifier seems like a reddit meme where they believe some integrated class D amp is what makes it quality
Meanwhile the rest of the world is using passives + amp
>>
>>108631464
Edifier sells to normies who want something slightly better than Logitech or Bose or a shitty soundbar instead of genuinely mental ill audiophiles, that's their market, which is a pretty big one.

Well, there are the Adam D3V, IK Multimedia iLoud Micro, Kali LP-UNF... but these are more expensive because they are sold as monitors for musicians, not as desktop speakers.
The drawback of Edifier is that the vents are on the back, so if you place them too close to a wall you will have trouble. This is particularly stupid for desktop speakers.
>>
>>108631464
They're my go-to recommendation for friends who just want better PC speakers.
But you should really go with studio monitors and an audio interface, if you want good sound.
>>
>>108632165
>Adam D3V
Lmfao now I know you are full of shit.
Terrible speakers, no bass and completely useless for music production.
They also go on sale below $300 making them the same price as Edifier MR5’s.
At least they don’t have super loud white noise hiss when on.
>>
>>108633117
Oh they also eq themselves at different volumes kek.
Truly entry level trash for retarded faggots
>>
>>108631511
>Meanwhile the rest of the world is using passives + amp
No one is using passives + amp except you. How could you possibly not understand this. I can say with full confidence that I have never in my life met a single person who uses passive speakers and and amp for daily computer use.
>>
>>108631464
They're overpriced, I got a quote for about a hundred units for a job and the bulk price was 60% off retail price. Still sounds nice but I would never pay full price for something I know is not worth it.
>>
>>108633117
Audio(pedo)philes are the worst people I swear to god. I never listened to those speakers before but Adam is maybe the most respected brand in low-mid market audio gear, and everyone who bought those speakers seemed to think they were great, upon a cursory glance the reviews were very good. It seems unlikely to me that this company would suddenly put out something complete shit, every single reviewer from big publications to tiny youtube channels got paid off, and every consumer is totally delusional. Meanwhile only that guy is correct.

Every time any kind of speaker or headphone discussion comes up here someone comes along talking retarded shit like this making outrageous claims, I suspect it might be the same guy but this archetype is pretty common among audiopedos, so who knows. There will be some technical sounding claims and and air of absolute authority, but they will be either wrong or misunderstood. When it is pointed out with evidence that these claims are wrong the audiopedo will suddenly pivot: the measure which was previously MY evidence of quality is now irrelevant bullshit, it must be combined with some other arbitrary measure, my subjective perception overrides it, or some other cope.

It's very tiresome and I wonder why audiopedos in particular are so inclined to be like this?
>>
>>108631464
>They have an entire massive market for themselves
A market selling $100 speakers? No sane company cares about that in this current economy. High margin items are the only things still worthwhile.

No one mentioned PC use did they?
I guess if you are a r/battlestations subscriber you wouldn't be caught dead with passive speakers but there is an entire world of speakers beyond ones that fit on the tiny desk your wife's boyfriend allows you to have. Some of them are in fact hooked up to a PC among other sources.
>>
>>108633553
send them to me, the cones on my yamaha speakers are fucked
>>
>>108633343
>I never listened to those speakers before
I owned them for a couple weeks before returning that trash.
Also the feet they come with are terribly designed and rely on a cheap pressure fit that can easily cause them to slide/pop off.
D3V was their attempt to reach the low end poorfag market while outsourcing to China and it is visible/audible.
Reminds me of Peavey in a way.
>>
>>108631566
That's literally why I bought them. They are great stereo speakers and I like them much better than the logitech or bose speakers I had.

>>108633553
you got a tweeter for highs, small drive for mids and a large one for lows, so yea, it must be shit, like logitech shoving an overpowered subwoofer on a 2.1 setup
>>

desu

>>108633343
d3v are actual garbage. Google d3v tweeter turns off. Stop thinking in brands. Adam has good speakers, just not these.
>>108633266
I'm using jbl stage a130 and fosi v3.

So the argument is either spend $1000 on new speakers for your computer or go on ebay/facebook and buy someone used speakers instead?

lol

>>108637614
why?
justify your position
>>
>>108635122
I had some variant of >>108637620. Too loud bass, no high, barely any mid. I hated them.
These are the only good logi speakers and it's only because of the tone control.
>>
>>108631464
Because people would buy headphone instead if they want good sound with relatively lower prices than whole speaker set up.

Why didn't you use an equalizer?
>>
>>108637773
Why the fuck would I buy an equalizer for shitty speakers? If you mean software, that's just a bandaid. I tried the pulse audio equalizer, but it sucked.
A DAC + good speakers are all you need. It's literally that easy. Just plug and play.

What's wrong with it?
>A DAC + good speakers are all you need
You need PEQ for any speakers that play something below 200Hz.
>>
>>108637898
I mean software can't fix a cheap dac or cheap speakers. I tried that, gave up, and I am much happier with what I have now.
>>
>>108637920
Software EQ is a necessary part of any speaker setup. "Fix" implies you can just buy speakers that don't need EQ which is not how room acoustics work at all.

Funnily coincidence, I just got MR3's for my desktop to replace old model. Paid like $65 for them and I don't feel like spending more for background noise generators. I live in a flat and already have decent iems and buds.

Too bassy, but they have a handy bass knob on there to get them just right. Great bang for the buck.

Are they really that bassy? Bookshelf-sized speakers usually aren't that bassy at all, in fact that's one of the typical flaws.

>>108633553
Ignore what other people think. Enjoy what you enjoy. Get an amplifier that can output around 80% of their max rated wattage so you can push them properly but not hurt them.

I've had these for a bit over six years now. I use a Mackie 802-VLZ3 to feed them. It's pretty nice having all my audio come out the same speakers.
