Left is default, right is with PEQ applied to fix it's issues.
Edifier MR4:
Edifier R1280db (with bluetooth) (same as R1280T that Amir reviewed):
JBL 305P MKII:
I don't think the Edifiers hold a candle to JBL 305P MKII with no EQ or with EQ.

Always easy to help other people spend money. The LSR 308 is not much more expensive, and a better speaker I think. It is bigger if that matters. It would work very well at 3 meters. I've both the 305s and 308s. You'll be very happy with either, but the 308's are better and the better deal all things considered. Look around you can get deals on this below list price.

JBL 308P MKII Studio Monitor Review
This is a review and detailed measurements of the JBL 308P MKII 8-inch Monitor (powered speaker). I purchased this from a member a few months ago. New, they cost US $249. The 3 series look the same for good or bad: The large plastic waveguide is really in your face. Wish JBL would provide...

Thanks, I appreciate the input, but I can't do that. The 305p is already a big stretch. By the time those speakers reach my country, their already high price (after conversion to our currency) shoots up to approximately two and a half minimum wages per unit, and a lot of us earn that around here. I would go for it otherwise.Always easy to help other people spend money. The LSR 308 is not much more expensive, and a better speaker I think. It is bigger if that matters.

Aiyima A07 looks to be a good proposition - cheap, workable power vs distortion figures, and at least it's got an enclosure.

Is the A06 (TPA3221) also good? I can get this one more easily.

Got the A06 as it was the one I could source locally, hoping that it inherits the qualities of its immediate siblings. Speakers and amp cost 40 bucks more than I would have spent on a single 305p unit. I'm thrilled, though they'll still take some time to arrive!
At least you can now listen in stereo, what is imo muuuuch better. Now you can collect. Btw. what do you use as source? PC?

Yup! It'll buy me some time without regrets, I assume, to think about adding a subwoofer at a later point.
TV, often connected to a PC. Considering a Chromecast for simpler music streaming in the future.
