I have connected to a dvd player (before that i used onboard laptop) + upgraded the interconnect cable but leave the standart/default speaker cable, still sounds same

Advice you send back to the dealer you bought and get them to test it for you.

Hi I was looking around for a 2.1 set in the range of ~RM200 and read some rave reviews for Edifier M3400. Sadly looks like it's an old model that's not even listed on Edifier's site anymore.

What would be the current replacement model for M3400 (Performance-wise)? I see that the P3080M has a similar design but I can't seem to find any review of it.

You can give M3250 a try.

I suspect you just simply dislike the sound signature of the speaker.

No!!!
Before R1280T, I used Edifier R18-USB, until now! It sounds nice and I like that, but unfortunatelly it has a very litte power...
I bought R1280T to upgrade my R18-USB! But I feel it seems like downgrading

The r18usb came with built in sound card, that why it sound nice.
may I know what sound card you used? If built on sound card, recommend you buy an external sound card to replace it.

Put something to slope up your heighten up the speaker (e.g door stopper, food container, wood stand, etc.) until the line of tweeter and midbass is with your ear level.

Run in the speaker with louder music volume for certain period of time.

Hope that helps.

What i mean was you just dislike the sound rather than the speaker malfunction, becos obviously got ppl misunderstood ur speaker was malfunction (asked you send back to shop)

Different speaker different signature, even came from same brand, so upgrading in terms of money/rank not necessary upgrade the sound, becos simply this is personal taste matter.

Like Cosef suggested, adjust the speaker positioning is very important, toe in about 25-30 degree if the spacing was too far away, remember, triangle rule, each speaker to your ear distance should equal to the distance between the pairs.

One more thing, laptop or external sound card won't make day and night different, don't fall into the trap.

i use idt onboard from dell inspiron n4050 laptop.
Is r1280t really require a (suitable) soundcard to sound 'right'? When i chose r1280t, i had many plans to use it with my nokia phone and dvd player..

yeah, i will try it. Thanks very much!

im sorry my understanding of english is not good.
Nobody like thin sounding in the lower midrange with weak boomy bass playing along with it. This is of course not personal taste matter.
Afaik, its common problem for speakers but i dont know what caused it and have no idea how to solve it.
Yes, i dont believe a soundcard, to me its like dsp processing when its compared to the onboard laptop (but i dont know surely, only one i try)
i want to ask something, forgive me if its too personal to the company, is the standart/default speaker cable decent? I googled and found that speaker cable can make sound became lifeless, lean in the midrange, and uncontrolled bass, just like what im experiencing now!

Hello,
Want to ask Edifier DA5100 price in what range? It seem DA5100 is better compare with C6XD.

No, definitely this is personal taste matter, how to explain alot of ppl do like this speaker that u hate?

If u are not believe in sound card, then there are even no reason u should believe in cable.

The most efficient way to tune the sound (to make the lower end thicker) is by using equalizer. Audiophile never use equalizer is plain bs to me, unless u are rich enuf to look for high end stuff.

not sure if audio engineer (especially mix engineers) are classed as audiophile but no signals must bypass eq in the mix engineer rule.

That's what I know in what I learned.

In fact my Edifier S530D is always on max bass and treble

Alot of ppl just not understand the purpose of EQ, when mentioned about EQ, the so called audiophile will reject with the reason distortion la, coloration la, bla bla bla...For me, buy the speaker and tuned it to the sound that i like is much more important than whether i'm audiophile or not.

The original speaker cable and interconnect wasn't that bad.

I'm not sure you had a defect unit or not, maybe you can try look for the seller for replacement.

R19U is equipped with Edifier's latest 2.75” full-range speaker unit, engineered to deliver wide and detailed sound with just two speakers. Completed with the pearl-white, bullet-shaped design, this 2.0 desktop speaker system offers both style and sound quality at an amazing value.
