Short answer: the Edifier R2000DB. It ranks #80 of 108 powered bookshelf speakers by sound quality, rated 3.3/5, at $299.99; the Fluid Audio FX50 V2 ranks #103, rated 2.7/5, at $298. With prices this close, go by the sound-quality ranking rather than the cost.
The case for the Fluid Audio FX50 V2: A coaxial studio monitor with balanced inputs, boundary controls and flexible mounting for compact installs. The tradeoff: Scores of 1.80 standalone and 4.42 with an ideal subwoofer indicate poor native tonal accuracy.
The Edifier R2000DB is the better-sounding option. A simple powered stereo pair with Bluetooth, two analog inputs and optical for desktop or living room listening. Watch for: Listening impressions suggest a midrange-forward presentation.
Buy the Edifier R2000DB. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $1.99 you would save on the Fluid Audio FX50 V2 does not close the gap.
