Excellent prices on these fantastic little bookshelf speakers.
The R1855DB are the newely upgraded model from the R1850DB, which are basically the R1700BT but with digital inputs and sub out. Compared to the 1280DBs these are biamped so should be a bit cleaner.
They are angled slightly up which will work well from a desk or a lower TV stand.
The R1855DB have coax/optical inputs, bluetooth 5, new remote design, sub out. The R1700BT are just bluetooth (4) and analog in and no sub out.
My plan is to have these connected to the TV in the spare room via optical, and connected to an old sub I have lying around.
Shipping for me was $9.95 to metro Sydney.
R1700BT available for the bargain price of $119 here: https://www.catch.com.au/product/edifier-r1700bt-bluetooth-b…
Awesome price for excellent speakers.
I'd recommend getting some custom cut acoustic foam from Clark Rubber to use as isolation pads.
