I believe you are referring to R2730 instead of the R2930?

Both S1000 and R2730 sounds very good.

The S1000 sounds rich and colorful whereas the R2730 has wider dynamic range but plain (it's meant for studio purpose such as audio creation)

The R2730 has the port hole in front, creating tremor/bass effects sounds really powerful but listening to it at close range will make your ears tired unless you placed it far away such as watching TV distance. The S1000 can be placed closer to you since the port hole is located on the rear, therefore the tremor/bass sound effect does not annoy you after long periods of time. S1000 has much more deep impact bass compared to medium bouncy wide dispersion bass that R2730 has.

If you are not doing any audio creation, I highly recommend you to get the S1000.

If you prefer to listen music at its original, go for R2730DB aka R2730.

Anyone can compare the S1000DB - R2800? Sizes and bluetooth shenanigans aside, I just want to know in terms of sound quality which will prevail. I'm contemplating whether I should spend the extra RM300 to get the S1000DB or a R28000 + DAC (ifi NaNo iDSD) for the same price RM1000.

personally i'll grab the s1000db over the r2800 + DAC.
simpler setup and save space.

current best price i found is RM999, anyone knows where to get the better price?

Great detailed review and beautiful girl on your dp

a Lelong merchant is selling this speaker for RM920, not inclusive shipping cost.

better price, will check that out !

woah , nice price , will check out too

Hi there, thank you for the review.
In term of overall experience, would you recommend S1000 or S530d?
I can live with both bookshelf or 2.1 speakers. Just want to know which is better for me. (mostly for music,movies and gaming)

I have yet to auditioned S530D, so I would not be able to give you a sound judgement with only S1000DB speaker

I think that a dedicated subwoofer will give you better and deeper bass compared to a 2.2 speaker (such as the Edifier R2700, R2730DB or R2800)

New stock for Edifier S1000DB has arrived!

Hi Asunakirito..any news on the s2000 mkii? Will it be entering our market?

Im on entry level audiophile and just try the r1700bt and kinda shock how good its sound..used to have r2800 and totaly hate it...is there any shop/outlet that offer s1000 audition??

Try Viewnet and Sri Computers at Lowyat , they have a very huge variety of speakers to test.
The rest of the PC shops in Lowyat have other speaker brands which are lower-mid tier speaker.
R2800 is a studio monitor speaker, would sound neutral (no coloring to the sound), therefore people might not find it nice to listen as compared to like S1000DB.

i just brought this speaker, very happy!~ but optical output not sound, bluetooth, 3.5mm have sound, anyone can help me? tried reinstall realtek driver set to optical output also same result no sound.

Good sharing and thank for the effort!!

You're most welcome. Hopefully, you have got a great speaker for audio listening

1. Ensure that the optical fiber cable is connected from the Edifier S1000DB to your computer motherboard or music source device that has optic fiber output.
2. Then in your Windows, right-click on the Volume Speaker (located on the bottom right corner).
3. Select "Playback Devices" from the right-click menu.
4. This will pop up the Sound window.
5. Select "Realtek Digital Output". Right-click on it and select "Set as Default Device".
6. Click OK.
7. Restart your music player in windows and play some music.

I puzzled between R1700BT and R2000DB, as I need a good bluetooth bookshelf speaker. The Edifier S1000DB is out of my budget.
So, end up I go for R2000DB. Sound is good, bluetooth feature easy to use and seemless pair with smartphone. What I looking for are clarity and clear sound, may be R1700BT with cheaper cost and lower RMS Watt enough for my usage, but just worry it not meet my requirement...

Anyway, it really hard to find place to see and compare the Edifier speakers.

Just bought a R2000DB yesterday at a good bargain price, and very happy with it! But still very curious to know how much difference is it compared this more expensive (almost double) S1000DB. Might grab one to place in living room if it's really good and different much. Just not sure worth the cost difference or not, which is about RM500 difference there.

If you found info on anyone make a comparison between these two, please share it here will ya? Thanks.

Sure, but sometime the review really hard to get detail, the best still can listen it on the spot. lol.
Anyway, if you like heavy bass, a sub-woofer might be different. I like heavy bass, for some time, but too heavy make me feel uncomfortable. Anyway, hope our R2000DB last...
