I did a direct head to head comparison between the following speakers: Edifier P12 Edifier P17 JBL Control 1 Polk T15 Moulkey 3way Alesis 7.5 Micca RB42 Klipsch R41-M SingingWood T25 Pyle 6.5" Two/way Fluence Elite high Def 2/way
These were hands down the best of the bunch, even better than it's more expensive P17 sibling which outside of fabulous build quality and good looks was sonicly disappointing. The P12 was the only one of the bunch that sounded good right out of the box. My instant reaction was, "wow that actually sounds good." What makes this speaker better than all of the others is simple: a natural balance of bass/ mid/ treble. None of the other boxes managed to pull this off. I just wanted a mini speaker that performed like a normal bigger speaker and not a little computer desktop with false bottom tuning. They have a full sound for background music and pulled out from the wall even suffice as main front speakers-- albeit not for loud situations. These speakers are smooth and comfortable. They have a 'rolled' off top which comes into balance with the covers off, which also gives life to the speaker. I bought this system to use as a miniature full sounding 'travel' stereo when the wife and I kayak in remote locations; it is perfect for that application. p.s. As a professional sound engineer of 35 years, I know good sound. I also know how to put things into perspective-- I have 3 audio systems in the $25K to $50K range. For the record: I am not an 'audiophile'... whatever that means.
