Bookshelf Speakers — Edifier S1000W

The S1000W is a fully active bookshelf loudspeaker from Edifier, built with substantial bi-amplified internal power suited to serious desktop or nearfield listening. The S1000W brings Edifier's more accomplished current engineering to a considerably more capable active loudspeaker format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response is 45Hz to 40,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB, a wide bandwidth. Internal amplification uses a dual configuration totalling 2 x 32W plus 2 x 25W - a substantial bi-amplified arrangement considerably exceeding Edifier's more accessible R-series and MR-series models. At 19.3 x 34.5 x 29.5cm and 16.77kg, the S1000W represents a serious active bookshelf commitment.

Sound and use context

Expect explosive dynamic headroom and extended bandwidth reflecting the substantial bi-amplified internal configuration, positioning the S1000W considerably above Edifier's more accessible active speaker range.

Pairing

As a fully active design, the S1000W requires no external power amplifier, connecting directly to a source component or preamplifier with line-level input.

Alternatives

Edifier's own S2000MKIII and flagship S3000 Pro sit above this model with progressively greater amplification and refinement, worth considering instead for buyers wanting Edifier's most accomplished current active engineering.
