Short answer: both are discontinued, so this only matters if you are buying used. Used, the KRK Rokit 8 G4 is the better pick: it ranks #97 of 119 powered bookshelf speakers by sound quality (rated 3.9/5), against #102 (rated 3.8/5) for the Edifier S3000Pro. If you want one new, the KRK Rokit 8 G5 replaces the KRK Rokit 8 G4 and is rated 4.0/5 at $1,076.
What the KRK Rokit 8 G4 does well: An 8 inch studio monitor with balanced inputs and room adjustment, for listeners who want more scale than a compact monitor. The tradeoff: The large cabinet requires substantial desk or stand space.
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.
Buy the KRK Rokit 8 G4 only if you find one used in good condition; both are discontinued, and it is the better rated of the two. For a new speaker, buy the KRK Rokit 8 G5, which replaces the KRK Rokit 8 G4.
