Short answer: the Kanto YU6 G2. It ranks #92 of 119 powered bookshelf speakers by sound quality, rated 3.9/5, at $549.99. The Edifier R2750DB MKII ranks #110, rated 3.7/5, at $499.99, $50 cheaper, not enough of a saving to outweigh the sound-quality gap.
The case for the Edifier R2750DB MKII: A true three way design with a 7 inch woofer and 4.5 inch midrange per side, rated down to 45Hz, so reviewers find it delivers real bass without a subwoofer. It supports LDAC Bluetooth, which the Kanto YU6 G2 lacks. The tradeoff: No independent measurements yet, so its linearity and directivity are unverified; one review found the treble a little short on air.
The case for the Kanto YU6 G2: The second generation YU6 swaps the Kevlar woofers for 5.25” abaca paper cone woofers alongside 1” silk dome tweeters, and raises amplifier power to 130W RMS (200W peak) from the original’s 100W RMS. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Edifier R2750DB MKII lacks. The catch: Not on sale yet: Kanto lists it as coming soon.
Buy the Kanto YU6 G2. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $50 you would save on the Edifier R2750DB MKII does not close the gap.
About the ratings: neither speaker has been measured yet, so both ratings are estimated from measured siblings and predecessors (likely ranges: Edifier R2750DB MKII 3.4 to 3.9; Kanto YU6 G2 3.7 to 4.1). Treat this verdict as provisional.

Edifier R2750DB MKII: $499.99 per pair Estimated Amazon $499.99 eBay
Pros: A true three way design with a 7 inch woofer and 4.5 inch midrange per side, rated down to 45Hz, so reviewers find it delivers real bass without a subwoofer. HDMI eARC with TV remote control, optical, coaxial, RCA and Bluetooth 6.0 with LDAC make it a full TV system, with a sub out and app EQ for tuning.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its linearity and directivity are unverified; one review found the treble a little short on air. The rear bass port needs space from the wall, the pair weighs 16.6 kg and stands nearly 40 cm tall, and there is no USB input for a computer.

Kanto YU6 G2: $549.99 per pair Estimated Kanto $549.99 eBay
Older model: the Kanto YU6 (rated 3.9/5). See every Kanto YU and Tuk generation.
Same family: the Kanto YU4 G2 (smaller bookshelf, estimated 3.6/5), the Kanto Tuk G2 (larger bookshelf, rated 3.9/5) and the Kanto TUK Grand G2 (larger bookshelf, ranked lower, estimated 3.9/5).
Pros: The second generation YU6 swaps the Kevlar woofers for 5.25” abaca paper cone woofers alongside 1” silk dome tweeters, and raises amplifier power to 130W RMS (200W peak) from the original’s 100W RMS. Inputs cover RCA with a switchable phono preamp, optical and USB-C audio at 24 bit/96kHz, 3.5mm aux and Bluetooth 5.3 with AAC. A subwoofer output engages an automatic 80Hz crossover, and a USB-C port charges a phone. Includes a remote, speaker wire and swappable left and right channels.
Cons: Not on sale yet: Kanto lists it as coming soon. No independent measurements have been published, so it can’t be compared with the original Kanto YU6, which ASR measured. Its rated response starts at 55Hz, against 50Hz for the original Kanto YU6, so a subwoofer still helps for deep bass. Kanto doesn’t publish sensitivity or maximum output.
