Short answer: the Reflector Audio Square Two for better sound quality, the Edifier S1000MKII for the lower price. The Reflector Audio Square Two ranks #5 of 108 powered bookshelf speakers, rated 4.5/5, at $6,499. The Edifier S1000MKII ranks #82, rated 3.3/5, at $499.99, $5,999.01 cheaper.
The Reflector Audio Square Two is the better-sounding pick. A high end coaxial horn monitor with extremely accurate sound and a compact, tightly controlled sound field. Watch for: The nominal 60-by-60-degree pattern calls for careful aiming and gives less freedom to move than wide-dispersion monitors.
The case for the Edifier S1000MKII: A self-powered stereo pair with optical, coaxial, analog and Bluetooth inputs that makes switching sources simple. The tradeoff: High-resolution input support is not a guarantee of perfect tuning, and the fixed internal amplification prevents the gradual upgrades possible with separates.
Buy the Reflector Audio Square Two when sound quality outweighs the price for you, and the Edifier S1000MKII when the price outweighs sound quality instead.
