Are the speakers from china good nowadays? Opinions on this one called the Markgo V1F.

I know iem's from china are really good for the price point. But you can only get so far with them. I'm particularly intrigued by this one called the markgo v1f at

Obvious cringeworthy marketing aside, +-3DB from 30hz for this price level seems good but idk there's no SPL specified, i suppose there's more at the woofer manufacturers page. Are the design and measurements legit? like can this really be "good" enough

On a side note, I bought a 15 inch subwoofer from China. Absolute beast for 500 bucks. Eats my 10 inch elac 3010 sub that costed the same for breakfast even with the volume knob at 20%. But the amp's busted im going to have to replace it.

well, im going to chalk it up to "yes it might perform well, but qc is a cointoss"

Good quality drivers but the crossover and cabinet design has to be competent or they are wasted. Anyone can tune for good on-axis response, off-axis response and time domain performance are what take skill and money.

I would hope it is good, at US$6000.

its actually about $3000 on the seller's china page. at 6k it'd be silly not going for the others measured here

I would not consider ordering such expensive item from largely unknown brand and vendor. If recall correctly, near your budget you could get Revel Performa BE 206 towers when on sale.

This is a review, listening tests, EQ, and detailed measurements of the Revel F206 Floor-standing speaker. It is on kind loan from a member (new) and costs US $1347.50 each. Please excuse the mobile phone picture quality and plastics that are still on the speaker. I try to keep products as...

I would use that money to buy an Ascilabs with active amplification and cardioid bass.

I guess it would be decent if you want a cheap ATC look-alike. Always interesting if we could hear what these sounded like
