These are not really the same size class, and that is the honest framing here. The Edifier MR3 ranks #11 of 48 powered bookshelf speakers by sound quality at $149.99; the Klipsch ProMedia Lumina ranks #4 of 8 powered subwoofer and satellite combo speakers by sound quality at $379.99.
MR3 posts a 3.91 standalone preference score with little overall tilt across the listening window, and app-based EQ adds flexibility, though bass reaches -3dB only around 60Hz without a subwoofer.
ProMedia Lumina’s included subwoofer gives this compact desktop system a real low-bass advantage, with the linked review reporting F3 around 46Hz and F10 around 38Hz, plus tiltable stands and app-controlled lighting. Treble runs 3-5dB hot aimed straight at the listener, and toeing the satellites out helps.
Buy the Edifier MR3 if overall value and a flatter listening-window response matter more to you. Buy the Klipsch ProMedia Lumina if deep desktop bass from an included subwoofer is worth the higher price.
