If you're looking for something active and decent off amazon, Swans. Swans drivers are legit and have had a decent rep with the DIY crowd since the 90s. I have Swans actives on my desk and for me they're better than any of the studio monitors I ever used for mixed music/movie/gaming use.

Here are measurements: https://archimago.blogspot.com/2020/10/qspins-audioengine-a2-edifier-s2000-mk.html

It's not great.

You can find this and many more measurements here: https://www.spinorama.org/

Great resource for speaker research, highly recommended.

I have listened to them and did not like them.

For 250-300 euro buy used Kef Q100 or Monitor Audio Bronze or similar speakers. Pair them with one of the budget amplifiers recommended in the forum and you will have much much better system.

1 more question ..i see this in archimago artical - " Test signals were sent to the speakers using Line 1 RCA input from my Topping D10 DAC"- i red that s2000mkiii has best output over optical connection - so if connected optical - would it change on better - or it would not have any impact on results ? sorry asking noob here

It would mostly stay the same.

SNR may improve slightly, but noise is not the issue.
Frequency response, directivity, and distortion is.
