i know ur not suppose to put the sub close wall, i tried. had to put under desk to my right.

Left side had desktop pc (because cables particularly the usb cable to speaker to the pc is too short, so no choice)

There's too many brands with variance of price especially in the upper RM500 to RM2000 range. If someone recommend a speaker most likely because he/she have heard and feel it's the nicest sound to them. But it might not be the best at that particular price range, or even the best sound to you as everyone have difference preference. Last time I was looking for headphone and one of the most recommended is Sennheiser HD650, which does sound great but for me I still very much prefer the sound signature from Monoprice M1060.

These are some of the brands that I know in the price range
Edifier
AirPulse
Klipsch
Mackie
Audioengine
JBL
HiVi Swans
Microlab
Kanto
PreSonus
Monitor Audio
Micca
Adam Audio
Wharfedale
Elac
Dali

Each brand have many models in the price range and have people feedback on how good the sound is. Been a while since I last checked on speaker and was surprised that even Topping and FiiO have speaker now.

Some years ago Edifier R1280DB was regarded as good valued speaker, not expensive and have good sound. Can say most of Edifier speaker that time is good value and good sound. I myself have R1700BT which sounds better than R1280DB to me, and then upgraded to S1000DB which I feel sounds even better. Then I heard that S2000 MKIII and S3000 MKII sounds even better, or go for the premium AirPulse with it's ribbon tweeter. That's when I put the stop from going down the rabbit hole anymore.

You should check these forums for speaker review and measurements
superbestaudiofriends.org
audiosciencereview.com

And this for list of some new speakers being released

Next time if you're going for the more expensive speaker, my suggestion is to skip active speaker. Get passive speaker and pair with amp, even cheap Topping PA3s amp is powerful enough for most desktop speaker. The most common failure are the electronic components, not the driver.

ty for the tips

what about twitter. silk dome? aluminium dome? does it matter?

anyway enjoying the edifier qr65. whether its worth the price vs a cheaper speaker, hard to say since i dont have a good reference. it sounds good to me though. the aesthetics were just a bonus

Tweeter driver shape the high frequency, silk and aluminum dome not much different. Planar and ribbon tweeter give much faster and sharp sound, some says the sound more like metallic. If you're not so sensitive on high frequency then won't find it any difference.

Ya as I said as long as you feel the sound is good then it is good enough, if want to compare it will be a never ending comparison.

My ears are aged so I probly won't hear the finer differences 😢

just an update in regards to the qr65 gan charger.

previously when i tried charging directly from the speaker, it would only do the green charging which is slower than blue super fast charging 2.0

so i assumed it couldnt do it.

however now it does, and is indeed blue, and from 1 hour+ charging is now only 20-30 minutes.

so what changed?

i assume because i had 1 more cable connected to it charging something else, so when too many are charging, it drops the charging power hence why it couldnt turn blue.

so mystery solved. yeah super fast charging 2.0 seems to work, but only if u dont charge others things simultaneously from the speaker.

more testing



songs similar to this really make the sub woofer bass quite boomy.

the issue is the shaking throug walls is very audible even from next room (and using imagine through walls on all sides to neighbors)

after adjustment i turn the bass volume almost all the way done. any other setting would be too much for condo/apartment

eventually the neighbor will snap

so i do think they make a good point

i did test qr65 without subwoofer powered on, and its ok, but without the sub woofer it doesnt feel as nice. so i'm in between a rock and a hard place basically.

but if u want to eere on side of caution, maybe do without the sub woofer if you have a similar living condition, cause neighbors may get upset with the bass thumping. doesnt happen all the time, but some songs are more pronounced

anyway with my new setting, i still can hear the T5 sub, but at the lowest i could possibly get it. That me and neighbors can live with
