Edifier S2000 Pro review: Bluetooth speakers on a whole other level

I was impressed with the last set of Edifier speakers I tested, Luna e25, and those absolutely pale comparison with the $400, S2000 Pro the company sent this time.   At reasonable volumes, S2000 Pro compare with studio monitors, such as my Yamaha HS8, and they blow away Bluetooth units..   S2000 Pro are bi-amplified, with Class D amplifier sending 50 watts per channel to 5.5-inch aluminum cone woofers and 12 watts per channel going to approximately 1-inch tweeters..   Besides Bluetooth, there are optical and coax digital, balanced XLR and DIN for the power signal cable that runs between the right and left speakers.   Edifier S2000 Pro come with remote control, so you can change input and EQ modes from the couch..   I will say that S2000 Pro feature Burr-Brown converters, and it can decode signals with up to 24-bit resolution and 192kHz sampling rates.   Not that the ear can tell the difference from 16-bit resolution and 44.1kHz sampling rates, except to some people the matter.   As if that were not enough,  there are also four EQ modes accessible from the remote control Vocal for performances, Monitor for electronic music, Classic for classical music, and Dynamic for watching movies or playing games.   Monitor was EQ-wise, Classical had less bass, Vocal highlights the mids, and Dynamic is Loudness button, adding some high-end sparkle and some thump.   I liked  Dynamic for general listening,  and Monitor would be useful for mixing, and S2000 Pro sound good right out of the box. .   Read more
