NO. First of all, the specs of the Edirol's are NOT better becase they are NOT accurate. They are 'enhanced' to make people like you think you are getting something that you are not. You fell for it, get over it and accept that your $100 computer speakers are $100 computer speakers.


Now, let's switch gears for a second. Since you're so hung up on what the specs look like on paper remember this...when speakers are measured, most companies mesaure them in an acoustically dead room (probably not the method that Edirol uses). Guess what...you get them home and put them on top of a computer desk. Now the freqency response is totally different. Now take them and put each one in a corner...holy crap tons more bass...the freqency response it totally different again. Now put mirrors (or any hard smooth surface) next to them. Holy crap, more treble. The frequency response changed AGAIN!??!?!


You CANNOT judge a speaker by specs alone, and you cannot trust the specs of a no-name speaker that you buy at a flea market.
