These sit in different size classes, so this is not a straight ranking comparison. The Edifier S1000W ranks #81 of 108 powered bookshelf speakers by sound quality at $599.99; the Edifier D12 ranks #7 of 29 powered desktop speakers by sound quality at $179.99.
The case for the Edifier S1000W: An all-in-one powered pair with Wi-Fi streaming, Bluetooth, and several digital and analog inputs. The tradeoff: High-resolution input support does not itself improve acoustic accuracy.
The case for 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 S1000W lacks. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Edifier S1000W lacks.
Buy the Edifier S1000W at $599.99 for a powered bookshelf speaker, or the Edifier D12 at $179.99 for a powered desktop speaker instead.
