Edifier R1280T or Edifier R1600T III

[point decay]

Hi folks

As title really, I'm looking for a bit of advice re these two sets of speakers. They will be used in a reasonably small room connected to the PC.

They are both similarly priced so really unsure on which set to go with. Mostly used for the usual PC stuff movies/games/music.

any ideas?

The 1600T III is a completely new design and uses separate amps for tweeter and woofer, plus it has a new 19mm silk dome tweeter compared with the 13mm silk domed tweeter in the R1280T.

The 1600T also has an angled baffle, while the 1280T is vertical, so I would say that the 1600T is better suited to desktop use while the 1280T is better on shelves or speaker stands. The 1600T is bigger in all dimensions and considerably heavier too (6.4Kg vs 4.9Kg)

Personally I would go for the 1600T III

thanks for that rids57, really informative.

One last thing, my current speakers (JBL Creature II) is a 2.1 system with a sub woofer, as the 1600T is 2.0 would I have to buy a separate sub woofer?, or are these capable enough.

Thanks again.

ah right, I'll get the R1600T then, was just a little concerned that their would be no bass as it's not 2.1

cheers
