Edifier R1855DB + T5: Over 40 Days, Money Lost, and Trust Destroyed (#101306)

Yeah, I had the same feeling with the Edifiers, especially the mids. They have that classic V-shape tuning: boosted bass and highs, recessed mids. I get why it sells, but for me, the vocals never sounded truly alive, like they were slightly hollow or coming through something. I spent a lot of time t

What speakers do you use in your bedroom?

Wall mounted Kanto YU6s with an SVS PB1000 in the corner. The sub was a deal I couldn’t pass up, so I made it work. A little overkill, but it definitely fills in the gaps.
