These sit in different size classes, so this is not a straight ranking comparison. The Edifier R2000DB ranks #80 of 108 powered bookshelf speakers by sound quality at $299.99; the Edifier D12 ranks #7 of 29 powered desktop speakers by sound quality at $179.99.
Why pick the Edifier R2000DB: A simple powered stereo pair with Bluetooth, two analog inputs and optical for desktop or living room listening. The catch: Listening impressions suggest a midrange-forward presentation.
Why pick the Edifier D12: A stereo desktop speaker in one box with Bluetooth, aux and RCA inputs, and a lot of sound for the money. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Edifier R2000DB lacks. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Edifier R2000DB lacks.
Buy the Edifier R2000DB ($299.99) for a powered bookshelf speaker; the Edifier D12 ($179.99) suits a powered desktop speaker instead.
