Edifier S3000Pro discussion topic

Apos Audio delivered my DX7 Pro today- China to California in 3 days. Apos is awesome.
I’ll be doing a very similar set up as soon as my sub arrives- hopefully in the next week or 2 it’ll be here.

Hello! I bought a pair of S3000PRO on Black Friday.
Overall I’m satisfied, but at the bass, at certain frequencies, you can hear a noise/like a vibrations-when some elements are not fixed inside the speaker) …(you can hear it coming out of the bass reflex hole)
I ask those who have this model to check (I recommend with the songs “Burry a Frend” and “Bad Boys” - Billie Eilish. - It is more evident/present in this melodies.
Please, check and answer. I need to know if it is ok or not. If I will return this speakers or not)
Thank you

I have not experienced anything but clean sound from my s3000pros, do you have them on stands? Before I got these I got the s2000pro mrkII and one of the drivers made a weird noise, I put them back in the box send them back and got the s3000, I also have s2000pros in my bedroom and they have been flawless. Maybe something came loose in shipping. You should return them and get a different pair. They are extremely easy to work with, you can also make a video and send it to them, they may just send you a replacement unit.

Holy cow! I’ve noticed the exact same problem a few days ago… I noticed this the most while listening to:

Röyksopp - Here She Comes Again - Radio Edit

I guess e have the same issue. Is this rattling/sticky sound on your left speaker as well? I think I’ll return them for repair, I can’t stand imperfections.

I have them on the stands, which are so beautiful by the way! And 100$ for so much solid and beautiful materials on those stands… I think it’s a bargain. I am not yet sure how they improve the sound, but at least now it is much easier to move them around.

Just listened to one of those Billie Eilish songs and didn’t hear anything unwanted. Engaged my bass boost eq setting and still solid.

I’m very happy with my Edifiers, although there is a little anomaly with the optical input. It is connected to my 5y old Samsung TV, when you turn the telly the left speaker works only… when you change the source to Coax and back to Optical the right one comes alive as well. It also happenes when you open a new App, first it is left only then, switching sources and tadam you have both speakers. Have you experienced any issues with the optical input or is it only me?

question to those who already own these: how do they sound at a low/relaxing volume? ( for listening at the desk while working)

They sound very nice- extremely clear in the higher and mid range. I chose to pair them with a Rogersound Labs 10" subwoofer because I felt they’d benefit. I was right :slight_smile: Even at low volumes there’s righteous full range sound that I feel spoiled by in an office desktop system.

Only an issue if you’re switching sample rate or bit depth I think.

I listen to them all day at low volume and they are great. Very detailed even at low volume.

I want to thank everyone for this thread. I have a set of S3000 Pros. I thought there was no way I could use these monsters at my desk. It sounds like they will be a good fit! Love everyone’s setup.

Anyone care to show their 2.1 setup? I’m thinking of grabbing the Emotiva SE12 for the office and interested to know how to put these together.

I added the SE8 and its amazing, one time I pushed it and it bottomed out, in retrospect it was perfect for my small office but the 12 is probably the way to go for any space larger than an office.

Very excited to be back up and running.

I also own the s3000pro. I love these speakers. I read that a few people don’t think the bass is loud or deep enough. I’m surprised, because I really believe they shine on that department. When I bought them they filled my quite large living room with quality textured bass. Loud or subtle when needed. If I ran a sweep they were clear and very audible to 33 hertz.

When I moved to another house I had to deal with a new living room and acoustics. Now the low end was very bad on one side of the room and much better on the other side of the room. My girlfriend won the war of appearance and I was left with bad sounding s3000’s on the poor side of the room… This was a little bit painfull especially that I knew what they supposed to sound like.

In my office in the house I used the edifier s2000pro (same tweeter and I fell in love with that sound) So I switched the speakers and I connected de s2000pro with the Edifier T5, because also the s2000 suffered from lacking low end because of the room.

In my Office the s3000’s sounded great again and even up close I can produce the audible 33hz tones again while my desk is rumbling with quality bass.

Now I know that there is a world beyond 33hz, but I also read that somebody set the crossover to 275Hz. That makens no sense to me. I really think that there are room interferences holding back the sound that you suppose to hear from these speakers.

I always use a test track to hear if a speaker has a decent low end. And I use Daft Punk with the song “doin it right” . It has 3 bass tones that get repeated through the song On 0:21 it starts the first tone 0:24 second and 0:26 the third. I read that the last tone sits between 30-50 hz. The last tone here rumbled and shaked my couch in my old house! In my new living room the last one was not audible and anyone would think that the speaker was lacking low end, meanwhile it is poor placement.

If you really like more bass than it is a personal opinion, because sound is always personal, (a friend of mine likes a little boosted midbass, what came free with his room. I hate it…) but I really doubt that people wouldn’t think the s3000 have great low end when placed right. And with great low end (sub and mid) I also mean textured, defined etc.
