    Hi DS, I am a dutch guy living in Spain. Have listened and read reviews from a lot of tests. I tried the Edifier 1700BT and the 880DB. They sound good but I would like some fuller speakers. more bass and sometimes a bit louder. I am thinking of the S1000MKIII or the S2000MKIII. do you think they will fullfill my wishes ? For wich one should i go ?? Your reviews and the reactions to them are helping me a lot but just cant decide. HELP !!! they are for on my desk connect to my imac27.

  • @Panslapper

    I like the upper section of the JBL but to be honest they are bass light which means going up an inch on the cone at least but the price goes up too with that. I have the S1000db MK3 (broke the optical door off in the first hour) and in a 5m x 5m room with high ceilings and they sound pretty good. The upper section can be enhanced with the treble on the rear but in real life I found them ok with both bass and treble on center dial but prefered my bass at 1.00 o'clock. The bluetooth volume is a little lower and needs to be cranked a bit but the sound quality is definitely decent. I used an iphone 7 which uses the AAC codec and the clarity is very good, connectivity is instant and reliable. APTX HD is yet to be tested but i do know it wont be worse than the iphones AAC which is better than the SBC standard BT code. I was going to go for the JBLs but the sheer versatility of the Edifiers in respect of connections and tweaking power nailed it. They are also very loud and given my environment the 5.5 inch cone, 1 inch tweeter and 120 watts RMS with hi res hd music is easily enough for both myself and the neighbours. Also no need for exterior DAC which would be needed with any monitor speaker as I use these for TV with Amazon HD music on Apple TV 4K 5th gen (again codec limited). So lets say the Topping E30 for the DAC would add another £109 currently to the price. If I was going down the monitor route then I think the Adam T5V would have the edge over the JBLs due to the better bass and fairly equal upper section and although just a fraction more expensive but the slight lack of low end on the 305s can be a deal breaker for any bass lover like me. Saying all that, admittedly i have not heard them in person yet.

    The tweeter wave guard is causing the highs to sound squashed like coming from a horn. With the Edifier S1000, you dont notice the highs coming from the tweeter whereas i'm constantly drawn into the tweeter with JBL 305P.

    i heard the jbl in real life.. this video does not even come close to what they deliver. They are pure production monitors that split every tone apart. I think the Edifier are probably something for consumers that love a good warm sound. I would not like to listen all day on the JBL speakers to be honest. But they are extremely precise.

    JBL is a studio monitor, Edifier is for music listening. Edifier bass seems bigger only because of the lack of missing midrange detail. Majority of music is in the midrange frequencies. just listen to the difference when the strings play. JBL complete sound takes the win easily.

    That's completely the opposite of what I hear. The JBL sounds like it has a distinct V signature, with the treble elevated and the mids recessed with the bass left intact. The Edifier keeps the mid-bass to mids flat with the treble but in doing so loses some clarity in the treble and high mids.

    They are both good in their own way (studio monitor vs hi-fi), but considering that the Edifier's cost 150 euros more, the Jbl's are the best bargain, even for just listening to music (one can, if necessary, set the High-Frequency trim at -2db to slightly "smothen" the sound) .
