believe me ,don't waste your time in forum(especially in a Edifier's fan thread?), go to shop by shop, listen with you own ears....in my opinion of reliability, Creative is better than Edifier....but brand like Altec Lancing and Logitech(My favourite) should also be considered, they won't be too much expensive than the Edifier(or even cheaper at similar or better quality)....Last couples of days I went to shops in penang and my whole opinion changed....
p/s don't ever trust review, especially posted by specific brand's fans or employee, go search the net.
Is this a simple case of a pot calling the kettle black?

This is the
Edifier Fan Club thread anyway. Basically the users here I
believe were once users of other brand of speakers who have decided to use a new product or new users seeking an alternative brand.
When you mentioned reliability, what is it based on? Have you put two brands side by side and do a comparison, test and benchmarks? Have the two brands gone through intensive testing such as running the speakers for a prolonged time frame at high volumes? Have multiple audio formats as such flac, ape and ogg been tested against each other? What soundcard was used for testing? I can go on and on.
Having data to supports one's opinion helps. Even a 7 year old kid would know difference between a PS 1 and a PS 2 based on it's data and benchmarks such as graphics and audio.
Again, this section of the forum is dedicated to those who have purchase an Edifier speaker and happy with it. Of course there are does who have trouble with their setup now and then and it will be up to the distributor to offer a RMA.Searching the net does not guarantee a non bias review, even the big international sites. Those who started surfing the net on a 28.8 dialup modem would know what I mean. There are some sites who get 'paid' in kind for their support or to give a positive review of their products. Which sites are this? Well, everyone has to do their own homework.
Lastly, this is the Edifier Fan Club thread. There are no 2 ways about it. Would a Chelsea fan walk into a Manchester United fan club wearing all his colors?
It doesn't a rocket scientist to figure this out...Last couples of days I went to Thailand and my whole opinion changed....
