I was looking at buying a new pair of bookshelf speakers.
I was really impressed with some of the reviews of Edifier.

I want to get the S3000Pro. I Would either use a Echo Link with AmazonHD or even the Blutooth aptx.

OR for half the price with slightly different drivers and a wire connection the two speakers they also make the S2000MKIII.

Anyone here have any hands on experience with these makes or models? ( or even others from this company)

To get my feet wet with a brand I have never used I got a pair of the P17 passive speakers, for 89-100 bucks they're pretty great.

    The S3000Pro is a really nice active speaker offering. I'd been reading reviews and owner feedback and finally got a chance to listen to them at an event. Because it was so busy it was less than ideal conditions but they sounded nice. The bass / port might be an issue in some rooms / situations.

    Pictures from the audio event.

    This reviewer didn't find the soundstageing coming from the KEF LS50 Wireless to be that great. In conversation he mentioned that he liked the S3000Pro more than the KEF's in that regard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT8q_0Ewjxc&t=5s

    Their styling looks very much like the old SWAN active speakers.

    Not sure SWAN even exists

    @RamZet Audioengine's stuff is also worth a look at/around these price points.
