Short answer: the Reflector Audio Square Two if sound quality matters most, the Edifier MR4 if price matters most. The Reflector Audio Square Two ranks #5 of 108 powered bookshelf speakers, rated 4.5/5, at $6,499. The Edifier MR4 ranks #72, rated 3.5/5, at $169.99, $6,329.01 cheaper.
The Reflector Audio Square Two is the more accurate pick. A high end coaxial horn monitor with extremely accurate sound and a compact, tightly controlled sound field. Its measured preference score, a predictor of how neutral it sounds, is 6.52 against 3.25 for the Edifier MR4. The catch: The nominal 60-by-60-degree pattern calls for careful aiming and gives less freedom to move than wide-dispersion monitors.
Why pick the Edifier MR4: A budget desktop monitor pair with balanced TRS inputs, tone controls and a front headphone jack. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Reflector Audio Square Two lacks. The tradeoff: Bass reaches -3dB around 79Hz, so deep extension should not be inferred from the overall flat trend.
Buy the Reflector Audio Square Two when sound quality outweighs the price for you, and the Edifier MR4 when the price outweighs sound quality instead.
