Edifier S2000MKIII review

[DriftKing]

Audio engine is better at details and separation while s2000 pro mk2 for me is better at vocals... well but nowadays I use speakers to watch movies nia so no need too high end. Wa but now the s2000 mk2 on qoo10 sell 399 with free stands. Not sure if should get that to save money..

Same, from reviews I much prefer Swans (m300), but if s2000 is at 399 with stands a bit hard to beat in price.

There was a group comparison between S2000MKII and M200MKIII+

If mostly used in living room, Swans or Edifier will be better? I read some review Edifier works better for desktop monitors as the sound is projected closer and Swans projects further, is this consistent from your review?

It's S2000 Pro not MKIII

The one with free stand is S2000 Pro V2, they dont have any model with S2000 Pro MKII, but S2000 MKII, and S2000 MKII not available locally.

If the sound feels like it's coming "further" the person probably has phase issues from sitting too close

Which one will have a better soundstage? Unfortunately we can't test it out together as no one has both speakers in store...

Am I right to say that S2000MKIII has the best performance to price ratio for Edifier line of products? Performance wise better than S2000, S2000 Pro, S2000 MKII, and price to performance better than S3000 and S3000 Pro as it is cheaper?

Different audiophiles have different definition of what sound stage is...

Hard to compare with past products since newer models are intended to replace older models at the same price, while older models get cleared. OTOH if you bought the older model at the launch price you have already enjoyed the product during the time frame so consider it as paying for the enjoyment.

If the MKII (or its other variants like Pro) and MKIII are at the same price I would get MKIII.

S3000 is pretty much the same thing as S2000MKIII except one size bigger, so the usual pros/cons of bigger size applies here. On the desktop, S2000MKIII sounded better while being easier to position. With longer listening distances, S3000 is better.

Both MKIII and 3000 Pro available at RetroCrates for audition

imaging is left to right
stage is depth

the $400 promo i think over so now just buy s3000 pro

 

[jedi5diah]

i was told by ITSG

S2000 Pro v2 is same as MKIII

 

[benedium]

Maybe only inside same. From pictures the pro v2 got that slanted front but MKiii got flat front like S3000 pro.

 

[benedium]

Is S2000 MKIII worth the upgrade over R2000DB for use in 3rm hdb living room?
Cost is about double.

 

[wwenze]

Living room needs bigger speakers, if you have $600 then these are better

Rokit G4 gets mentioned because it comes with adjustable EQ

 

[benedium]

Oic ok thanks wwenze

 

[wwenze]

There's also this if you want something less visually obnoxious than a pair of 8" speakers

and the tweeters won't die from children poking which is nice

 

[benedium]

Wah the krk rokit 7 g4 is half price of JBL. Is JBL still worth the upgrade in terms of sound quality? Thanks for your help.

Wish I was rich enough for it to not matter heheh. My rich friend got the Genelec 8341a at about $7.5k. Ouch.
