Worthy upgrade from Edifier R1600T for <£150?

Are the R1600T's the ones OCUK sold around 10 years ago for £50? If so I had some of those back in the day, they were pretty good for that money.
Have you put your R1600T's on desk stands and got them to ear level? I would be doing this first before upgrading speakers.
£150 is a limited budget, but would look at these.

If it was myself I would buy a pair of Adam Audio T5V's for around £240 (yes you'll have to pay more), but you'll get a proper upgrade and your sound card is enough to do them justice. You will need a pair of quality shielded RCA's cables also. You can get 3 meters pairs made up with Van Damme microphone cable for around £30. Again all this is over budget but you'll thank me if you can stretch to it.

Yup that's them! Think I got mine for £40 on a ocuk deal, bargain price back then!
They are on desk stands and pointing up at my ears, this did make a nice difference.
I'm not a big audiophile so wouldn't want to be spending much more and not something which is really needed since still very pleased with the edifier speakers, if they ever break, would spend a bit more though so may just wait till that happens
Surprised that there still doesn't seem to be anything worthwhile for a budget after all these years.
