Short answer: the Edifier S3000MKII, if you are buying new. The Edifier S3000Pro ranks higher than the Klipsch The Sevens (#102 vs #108 of 119 powered bookshelf speakers) but is discontinued; its replacement, the Edifier S3000MKII, is rated 3.9/5 at $999.97 and is still sold new.
Why pick the Edifier S3000Pro: A large powered pair with digital and analog inputs and tone controls, a complete music system with no separate amplifier needed. The tradeoff: The substantial cabinet size requires more space than a typical desktop pair.
The case for the Klipsch The Sevens: A powered stereo pair for TV and music with HDMI, phono, optical, USB and Bluetooth inputs plus a subwoofer output. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Edifier S3000Pro lacks. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Edifier S3000Pro lacks. The catch: The review found a recessed 2-4kHz region and upper-treble emphasis, producing a scooped balance that a simple treble reduction did not fully fix.
Buy the Edifier S3000MKII, the replacement for the discontinued Edifier S3000Pro; it is rated higher for sound quality than the Klipsch The Sevens.
