Edifier S1000MKII vs Polk Audio OWM3

I've been really impressed with the Edifier s1000 mkii, extremely practical and well rounded speakers for the price, the fidelity and detail leaves very little to be desired. I have also not heard a bad word about the 1850s and 1700s which apparently are better suited for near field listening and probably more suited to your budget.

It sounds so good with them, pointing at you from a desk like that. Alright, I my next video just just jump right into the next video, because you got...

They look nice. They are heavy as hell, and seem solid. But the materials aren’t amazing. The wood is an excellent fake

They are encased in walnut and are heavy. Center Speaker: KLH with Dual 4.5" mid-range speakers (from a 5+1 Surround-sound speaker set). Only press-board case painted black

** You want consumer-oriented powered speakers, that have connections and controls that are suited for use with consumer equipment. If you can go up to the $300ish range, I would suggest looking at the nicer Edifier models—maybe the S1000mkII if you can find it locally, or maybe something in the R1850 or R2000 series. If you can find any speakers made by Swan, they also have some well-liked options. FYI, **most of the speakers you listed are NOT studio monitors

Adam T5V/T8V) but OP has specifically separated them from consumer speakers like the Edifier. I also separate them because of aesthetics: studio monitors do sound really good, but they don't look that good on a living room. :). I do think the Edifier s2000 Pro / MKIII are really good for the price

I think there's only one it doesn't come with, but yeah so you've got here vertical wall mount which I think just does bikie holes on the back. I was ...

LCR - Infinity Reference when On Sale and HSU HB1MK2/HC1MK2 are my picks for Best Bang for Buck speakers.

You'd need 2-2.5x your budget for a speaker with really good bass and that's with the Edifier S1000MKII or S1000DB model. With max 200$, I speculate that any smaller speakers like your Megaboom 3 will disappoint bass-wise. Bigger hardware and within-budget Monster SuperStar could be good

Sound is the problem here - perhaps the reviewers here are being very generous, or perhaps they’ve never owned a pair of speakers over $50 before, but either way - the sound is not great. Perhaps it could serve as a small upgrade over the built in speakers in a TV or as surround rears in a home theater setup, but they have no business being discussed as anything resembling “good” for music. Highs are shrill and lows are nonexistent. They are not capable of producing bass of any quantity, presumably due to the small drivers and shallow depth, but I guess I expected more based on the glowing reviews here
