Very good value all rounder speakers at a very nice price! I've had these myself for several years and they are fantastic for music, gaming, movies etc. Will destroy most sound bars on the market for clarity, power, and of course, stereo separation. Highly recommended by many reviews online.

If I had to describe the sound quality from these in 3 words or less: Pure, Gorgeous and Beefy!

And in my humble opinion, they look super snazzy to boot! (with or without the speaker grills) 🤩👍

Manufacturer's product page

Also on sale at Centrecom are the Edifier R1855DB bookshelf speakers for $179, basically the junior cousin (so to speak) of the speakers above, and also at a very decent price.

Bonus is that the R1855DB has a subwoofer line out, if you need. But imo, by the time you add a subwoofer to the R1855DB, you may as well just go for the S1000Mkii's, because they are more powerful overall and better quality and would end up costing you less, at least in this deal.

Matching speaker stands available at Zylax, total of $192 including delivery.

Or a bit more at Bunnings for $189 (online order only with $15 delivery, at least for my postcode) total $204.

Centre Com deals available until 14 February at 6pm AEDT or until they run out.

Surcharges: 0% for bank deposit, Afterpay & Zip Money. 1.2% for VISA / Mastercard & PayPal. 2.2% for AMEX.

    Unfortunately too big to put on the desk, in my opinion.

    • wonderboy4 on 08/02/2025 - 07:57

      Yeah I agree, for some desks, they would be a bit too chonky. Mine are used for TV atm, but I do have a deep desk that could easily fit them for my PC if I wanted. I guess it just depends.

    • O15 on 08/02/2025 - 09:54

      Sounds like you need a bigger desk.

  • dosada on 08/02/2025 - 08:01

    I'd probably add $100 and go for the 2000 ones

    • wonderboy4 on 08/02/2025 - 08:11

      I'm sure they are very nice too, but I prefer these because they have a lot more power in the mid and treble range than the s2000's, which has most of the wattage dedicated to the base.

      These will give a more evenly distributed power across the signal, which for me is generally much more pleasant to the ear. Because I've never been into heavy base setups, as most of what the average person listens to (the audio signal itself) on TV, Movies, Music etc, is not so much in the lower (base) range anyway.

      • snep on 08/02/2025 - 11:33

        The two models have different kinds of tweeter (titanium dome vs planar diaphragm) which likely have different sensitivity and power handling characteristics. A driver with a high sensitivity will be louder than a driver with lower sensitivity at the same power.

        So simply looking at power ratings tells you nothing about frequency response.

  • vicerum on 08/02/2025 - 09:06

    Can these be used as front left and right speakers with an AVR ?

    • Dsiee on 08/02/2025 - 09:23

      Yes, use the rca in. Depending on your avr speaker output, you might need to strip the other end of the cable or get a rca to speaker cable cable.

      • Laserface on 08/02/2025 - 11:22

        these are amplified speakers with their own DSP/DAC and as such your AVR would need to have line level signal output for the L/R channels. they will not take speaker level input.

        you would be better off buying passive speakers.

  • impulse102 on 08/02/2025 - 09:09

    Bought these during the boxing day sales. No complaints other than they're a little big for a PC desk

  • yuh on 08/02/2025 - 09:16

    this 1855 looks like a 1700bt with more input option, wating on the 1700bt or 1700bts to go around 110-120.

    • Laserface on 08/02/2025 - 11:21

      id just buy the 1700bt now as they are incredibly cheap as is and extremely good value for money.

  • Zenskas on 08/02/2025 - 09:39

    Got the S1000W (same but with wifi capability) on boxing day, setup with the TV since. Great for the price, can fill a lounge room with sound and I do enjoy the stereo separation a lot more than you would get out of a similar priced soundbar or the built in TV speakers.

    Definitely overkill for most computer desks, they are deceptively large and heavy for bookshelf speakers. Yet they do retain a lot of detail at lower volumes so if you have the space…

  • cv05 on 08/02/2025 - 09:39

    I use the Logitech z263 2.1 system to for movies and listening to music. I feel like the z263's are amazing for movies but I'd like to hear more punch when listening to music.

    How would these speakers compare.

    • onlinepred on 08/02/2025 - 10:01
      +3

      These would be night and day. The issue with the Logitech is it pretty much handles high end and low end with no balance and no mids. Overall most budget bookshelf speakers would run laps around the Logitech, unless bass was your only concern.

      • cv05 on 08/02/2025 - 11:07

        Great thanks for that!

    • MasterScythe on 08/02/2025 - 10:18

      Worlds better.

      The z263's are honestly some of the worst ive heard. Theres no way to pull enough bass out without also stripping the mids.

      Trebel has an abundance of 8k but almost no 16k sparkle, to me.

      Just a mess imo.

      These are a whole different league.

      • cv05 on 08/02/2025 - 11:07

        Awesome, I'll grab a set. Thanks.

    Currently on special for valentines day lol.

    • BlueDiesel on 08/02/2025 - 10:15

      Yes, I had my eye on the Edifier S2000MKIII (finally purchased a couple of days ago via Ebay) and noticed all the Edifier go from one sale into the next with a maximum of couple days in between sales, but even than they are not at full price.
      Went from Christmas sale to back to school to Chinese new year to valentines….And all the time there is the FOMO creating count down….

    Regarding those speaker stands linked. Could you please confirm the width (logo facing) of the base for me? They might not fit where I want them lol

    • wonderboy4 on 08/02/2025 - 11:12

      Sorry! I wish I could help, but I don't have the stands, only the speakers. I have been meaning to get some one day, but at the moment, mine are on the floor 😓

      This manufacturer page seems to offer the best listing for measurements of this stand, including separate base, separate middle and separate top measurement listing. I would be pretty confident these are accurate.

  • XxBargainHuntaxX on 08/02/2025 - 10:31

    There’s no sub out on the S1000MKII, is there? Already got one for my current setup, so would have to probably buy an amplifier or receiver to make use of my existing sub I assume

    • wonderboy4 on 08/02/2025 - 10:35
      +1

      That's correct, they don't have a sub out.

      • XxBargainHuntaxX on 08/02/2025 - 10:37

        Such is life! Ah well maybe an upgrade for later

  • lycos on 08/02/2025 - 10:32

    Is Audioengine A5+ a noticeable upgrade over S2000mkiii ? I much prefer A5+ look over edifier

    • Jimothy Wongingtons on 08/02/2025 - 10:46

      Audio engine for the hype beast/ Instagram appeal

    • Laserface on 08/02/2025 - 11:24

      I used to have A5s and they're pretty flat sounding and do not have DSP/DAC (mine are the non + version). they definitely need a sub with them imo.

      edifier make great speakers with built in DAC/DSP that does a good job of sounding like what people expect speakers to sound like - good bass response and loud.

      the S series are dog ugly though.

      I have R2750DB edifiers and I Have since turned off my sub.

      edit: to be clear about it, the edifiers vs the audio engines, not really a comparison IMO due to the different price ranges. both good products though.

    • klyvenator on 08/02/2025 - 11:40

      I've had both the Edifier S2000MKIII and and Audioengine A5+, I wouldn't consider A5+ superior to the Edifier, the Edifier has a lot more detail. The A5+ are very fun sounding speakers though and I enjoyed both.

    Has anyone by chance tried these with a turntable? My partner's records are in need of a sounds upgrade

    • Zenskas on 08/02/2025 - 10:47

      Yes, I have the S1000W and use one of the RCA inputs with a turntable. Sound fantastic to me, even with a budget turntable. Audio is always a broad spectrum. $10,000 speakers with a $10,000 turntable obviously sound even better! But I'm more than happy given the price.

      You will just need a separate phono preamp or turntable with one built in but that's easy.

      • Frugalbargainator on 08/02/2025 - 10:55
        +1

        Cool thanks. The turntable has preamp built in, so that like good to go

      Mine are connected to a PC and I play music from FLAC files through these (basically same quality as a CD or LP) and the quality of sound they produce is amazingly clear and robust, at either low or high volumes. I would recommend them to anyone who enjoys listening to all kinds of music👍

      Here is a video review that I think you will find very interesting for your use case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRYibee9RXg&t=604s&ab_channe…

  • trantonz on 08/02/2025 - 11:05

    I have a pair of Audioengine A2 + their S8 sub.
    How would my setup compare to this S1000W?
    I'm genuinely looking for an upgrade

    • wonderboy4 on 08/02/2025 - 11:23
      +1

      I'm not familiar with your speakers but just looking at the specs, these Edifiers are going to be much more powerful (I think as much as 4 times). And considering the limitations imposed by the very small size and wireless connectivity of the A2's, I'd imagine the sound quality would be vastly better on the Edifiers too.

      My impression is, that the upgrade to these speakers, would be a very significant one for you.

      • trantonz on 08/02/2025 - 12:15

        Thanks heaps. I'm just not a fan of the look. Do you think a R2850DB would be a similar choice in term of performance?

  • Pub Envelope on 08/02/2025 - 11:35

    Still running my Logitech Z623 2.1ch from 8 years ago. How do these compare? Is there a 2.1 model?

      • Pub Envelope on 08/02/2025 - 11:39

        Perfect thanks. Might do some research and see if there's a 2.1 model. 2 channel might be better, but really need a sub to drive the low frequencies.

        • wonderboy4 on 08/02/2025 - 11:49

          No problem 👍

          These don't need a sub woofer in my opinion, there's already tones of base as well as lots of strength in the mid and treble too. 70W in the Bass and Mid and 50W in the Treble range (total 120W)

          Honestly if you heard them in person, you would not say they lack bass in any way (unless bass is your primary focus I suppose), but the sound is definitely not lacking at any range.

          But check out some reviews online and you will get a better idea of what I mean.
