Great set of active speakers designed for those who want quality audio as well as versatility. Edifier S1000DB are powerful, stylish and fairly balanced all things considered. If you’re just getting into quality audio, these a great starting point.
When listening to music from various sources using this speaker system was an enjoyable experience. The use of the remote control unit allowed me to make various adjustments from the comfort of my armchair rather than using the out-of-sight controls on the active speaker.
Impressive specs, bass particularly, for standalone powered bookshelf speakers. A bit expensive, and might be overkill for computer/desktop speakers. No subwoofer output which will limit these as traditional home theater speakers.
Edifier’s S1000DB speakers are a beautiful piece of engineering and are stylistically stunning. They cater to individuals who demand more than just technical function, and crave artistic expression.
The real question is whether or not the S1000DB is worth their money and the answer is a definite yes. The only problem for some people may be the light wood used which may not blend in with their TV sets or desks but other than that since build quality and audio clarity/accuracy/detail are near excellent and volume levels are very high.
If you are looking to purchase a new speaker around $500, then the S1000DB provides a nice alternative to speakers such as the B&W MM-1 and Audioengine A5 with unique and engaging tuning that does not come at the cost of quality and a striking aesthetic that will surely draw more than a few compliments from guests and relatives.
