Short answer: the KEF LS50 Wireless II if sound quality matters most, the Edifier R2000DB if price matters most. The KEF LS50 Wireless II ranks #19 of 108 powered bookshelf speakers, rated 4.3/5, at $2,999.99. The Edifier R2000DB ranks #80, rated 3.3/5, at $299.99, $2,700 cheaper.
The KEF LS50 Wireless II is the better-sounding pick. An all in one wireless stereo system with accurate, consistent sound, HDMI eARC and built in streaming. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Edifier R2000DB lacks. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Edifier R2000DB lacks. The catch: The 3.0dB response span is good but not reference-leading, and dispersion still varies with frequency.
Why pick the Edifier R2000DB: 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 KEF LS50 Wireless II if sound quality matters more than the price. Buy the Edifier R2000DB if the price matters more than sound quality.
