Short answer: the Edifier S3000MKII. It ranks #91 of 119 powered bookshelf speakers by sound quality (rated 3.9/5) at $999.97 and is still sold new; the Edifier S3000Pro ranks #102 (rated 3.8/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used.
The case for the Edifier S3000MKII: A wireless linked powered pair with planar tweeters, plenty of power, and inputs for nearly everything, from XLR and optical to aptX HD Bluetooth. The tradeoff: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared with ranked speakers.
The case for the Edifier S3000Pro: A large powered pair with digital and analog inputs and tone controls, a complete music system with no separate amplifier needed. Watch for: The substantial cabinet size requires more space than a typical desktop pair.
Buy the Edifier S3000MKII. It is rated higher for sound quality; the Edifier S3000Pro is no longer sold new.
Worth knowing: the Edifier S3000MKII has not been measured yet. Its rating is estimated from related models, with a likely range of 3.7 to 4.1, so treat this verdict as provisional.
