Overview
The S2000 MKIII represents Edifier's evolution from budget PC speakers to legitimate HiFi bookshelf systems. The wood veneer cabinet isn't cosmetic—it's MDF construction with internal bracing to reduce resonance. The 1-inch silk dome tweeter and 5.5-inch aluminum cone woofer deliver frequency response from 48Hz to 20kHz. The built-in amplifier provides 66W RMS per channel. Bluetooth, optical, coaxial, and RCA inputs make it flexible for different sources.
Why It Stands Out
The sound quality justifies the HiFi label: clear mids, extended highs without harshness, and bass that's present without overwhelming smaller rooms. The retro design with metal panels and wood veneer looks intentional on a desk or shelf—not like computer peripherals. The remote control is functional and well-designed. The active design eliminates the need for a separate amplifier. What Hi-Fi's recommendation validates what users already knew: these compete with passive bookshelf speakers that cost more once you factor in amplification.
Best For
Desk listeners upgrading from computer speakers who want real HiFi sound. Small room setups where floor-standing speakers are impractical. Anyone who wants quality sound without the complexity of separates—no amplifier shopping, no speaker wire calculations. People who value design and want speakers that look good in a visible location.
