just close this thread
TS, i dun mean to flame u, but ur question is pretty vague


firstly, edifier, altec lansing, and sonic gear are BRAND, not MODEL. when u ask question like this, which refers to brand, u are attracting fanboys and flame wars.

secondly, each of those BRANDS has various range of speakers, which are called MODELS, and each of them have different sound quality, performance, and design. each MODELS from each BRANDS can compete with each other, depending on the price range and the usage, e.g., u can't compare Edifier M1310 with Altec Lansing MX5021 due to different price range. but u can compare Edifier M1310 with Sonic Gear EVO3, or Edifier M3300 with Altec Lansing VS4121 and Sonic Gear Blue Thunder 3. there is no such thing as best brand or model in this world, as sound quality is pretty much subjective to each individuals, some gamers would prefer SG BT3 and AL VS4121 compared to M3300, while music listeners might prefer M3300.

thirdly, why bother about the design of the speakers? we need speakers for the sound, and not for the look. but if u insist, i would say that it's still very subjective to each of us here. and again, do not compare BRANDS, compare MODELS.

finally, please stick to 1 thread 1 time, please refrain from asking the same question in both places, in ur case, audiophile and hardware sections.

what is the main usage of ur speakers?
i have tried e3100 for music, and it's pretty good, but dun think it's that suitable for gaming
u have lotsa choices here: M3300, E3100, M3310, C2

hmm, for bass, maybe u shud look at Altec Lansing VS4121 or Sonic Gear Blue Thunder 3
i have never listened to 4121 b4 but the users said that its bassy
BT3 i have tried once, it's clarity and bass are acceptable, it's one of the SG flagship model
