Decent sounding & quality powered bookshelf speaker’s at an acceptable price.

Cheapest I could find, even with delivery to Sydney included
Sorry if you live far away and Delivery cost kills the deal.
Optional $35 Delivery cost to Sydney with Transit-cover.

RRP $649 on Edifier AU official website.

Worth the extra cost over the S1000db IMO.
S2000Pro has the 4 EQ modes which allow for a lot more control over the sound than the S1000db with just the Bass & Treble controls on the back.
(e.g. You can set the EQ mode to one of the 4 options, then you can fine tune with the Bass & Treble controls)

Notes:

• Planar diaphragm tweeter, Aluminium cone woofer.
• Four EQ Modes: Vocal, Monitor, Classic, and Dynamic.
• Bass & Treble control knobs on the rear to fine-tune the sound.
• DSP-based cross-over.
• Included wireless remote for audio input, volume adjustment and mode switching.
• Front status-indicator light tells you which source you are listening to.
• Inputs supported: coaxial, optical, RCA, AUX, and Bluetooth.
• Look good with the speaker grills on (to protect from kids / pets).

Also worth noting that these speakers have a slightly up-ward facing angle.
(Suitable near-field listening at a desk, or placed on a low cabinet when further away)

POWER OUTPUT:
L/R (treble): 12W+12W RMS,

  if you don't need bluetooth , worth to consider jbl lsr305 at same price from ebay

    The LSR305’s being studio monitors, you will need to factor in ease of use & the cost of a pre-amp to control the volume (the gain dials on the back are ideally meant to be set at 0dB).
    Also if the LSR305’s are lacking auto-on/off then you will need to reach around to turn each monitor on & off every time you listen (S2000Pro can be put to sleep and turned on with remote).

    I think most consumers are interested in having more input options & control over their speaker to achieve a satisfactory sound-signature, and this is partly how Edifier’s have become so popular as they all have the Bass & Treble adjustment controls.

  How does this compare to audioengine a5's?

  • 

    thebadmachine on 20/04/2019 - 02:42

    +1

    The S2000Pro’s have more control over the sound-signature with the 4 EQ modes + Bass & Treble controls,
    and has Optical / Coaxial digital inputs (useful for connecting to a TV).
    Audio Engine A5+’s have a subwoofer output which can increase your options for subwoofer purchases, and uses Class A/B amplifiers so may sound a bit warmer while running a bit hotter.
    Frequency response is similar (A5’s extend slightly higher @ 22khz).
    Woofer size is close 5.5” (Edifier) vs 5” (A5+).
    Both achieve equal loudness according to specs.

    Came across this comparison.
    Read the first comment for a summary of the two.

  That's indeed a great deal OP. I bought the S1000db off eBay for $375 last year and have been pretty satisfied with their performance so far. Had I not purchased those, I would jump for this deal right away. They can gracefully fill a medium-sized room or even a home theater with crisp, clear-cut frequencies. It takes a great deal of volume to distort the sound on these speakers, and that only on certain audio content. Their ease of connectivity and eliminating the need for extra cables between a pre-amp and speakers, makes them ideal for enthusiasts seeking a minimalist, stylish, yet functional audio setup.

    Yes Edifier saw a spot in the market (affordable powered bookshelf-speakers, for music / movies / gaming or ‘lifestyle’) and has fit itself in quite nicely.

  I'll wait for the S3000 pro that was recently launched.

  • 

    thebadmachine on 20/04/2019 - 17:03

    S3000Pro is currently double the price of S2000Pro, depending on how you see it, it can be a significant upgrade although price could be a little closer IMO.
    (Other than the wireless speaker connection, conventional cabinet design without built-in angle, and 6.5-inch woofer & broader frequency-response, it is the same as the S2000Pro. Yes the S2000Pro has the 4 EQ modes in the DSP as well.)

    S2000Pro and S1000Pro are closer in price (by about ~$100 give or take), I would recommend the S2000Pro out of the two.

      Volution on 20/04/2019 - 20:26

      Really, double. Then its not worth getting the S3000 then. Probably need to wait for couple of years till it drops in price.

        thebadmachine on 20/04/2019 - 21:31

        Yes currently in the US; S2000Pro is $399 RRP, S3000Pro is $799 RRP.
        Prices from official Edifier website. They may both come down in price but I think the distance in price between them will stay quite similar.

  Computer desktop speaker died on me today (klipsch promedia). Do you think this Edifier S2000 pro is better than the Audioengine A5+ ?

  • 

    thebadmachine on 10/05/2019 - 00:20

    As I have said in this comment, they are quite different approaches to a similar product.
    A5+ uses class A/B amplification (which usually results in a warmer tone sound signature & better quality sound at low volume), also A5+ has subwoofer output. Sound signature on A5+ is limited to what your source has to offer (lacks adjustments).

    S2000Pro uses class D amps, but has more ability to customise sound signature with 4 DSP modes & tone control knobs (treble/bass dials). Adding a subwoofer is slightly more tricky on the S2000Pro (your source will have to have an extra set of outputs for the sub, or you will need to find a sub with a ‘pass-through’ feature to allow the sub to connect between the source and the S2000Pro).
    Also worth mentioning is that the S2000Pro have built-in slight upward facing angle (ideal for desk use, tricker with placement if listening from a distance), while A5+ has the conventional 90 degree facing straight on cabinet design.

    I would personally put the S2000Pro ahead due to its controls over the sound signature.
    You may discover you may need more / less bass or treble.
    Many things can affect the sound of speakers and having that option to adjust and find your own sound signature can be quite useful.
