Nothing actually, just took photos for size comparison. The Edifiers look more expensive than they really are. In fact they look better than Onkyo speakers

I am just talking about aesthetics here nothing else.

Overall compasiron: Onkyo 3500 always needs good content to sound good, it is brutal on low quality stuff : old movie video songs sound unacceptable on the Onkyo. The good thing about analog (imo) is that it makes every shit sounds better than what it actually is hehe...
