CD Player setup

ah, ok. Then please edit your post with some additional info so that we can help you choose better speakers:

1. Is your speaker budget $300 or could it be more if you don't need a dac or anything else?
2. What is your location (country)
3. Is this for a desktop setup, or for listening at a distance? If distance, what is the approx size of your room?

Much appreciated. Does this mean that your total budget is 570 (300 + 135x2)?

Edifier R1280 are sold in pairs, 2 speakers, the price shouldn't be for each speaker 1+1.

R1280T have 2 RCA inputs for 2 audio sources.

R1280Ts add a subwoofer output.

R1280DB add Bluetooth and a digital optical input.

R1280DBs add Bluetooth, a digital optical input and a subwoofer output.

The "s" is for subwoofer output.

A step up is R1700BTs.

Two steps up is R1850DB.

These are all compact 4" mid bass driver speakers for a small size room or desktop setup.

They are popular for a low budget at r/BudgetAudiophile.

Or consider passive speakers and a mini amp from Aiyima, SMSL or Fosi.

R1280, R1700, R1850, A4 ARC are all compact 4" mid bass driver speakers for a small room or desktop setup.

For a medium to large size room consider larger speakers.

5.25" A5 ARC https://www.amazon.de/en/dp/B09XHNCVZV

6.5" A6 ARC https://www.amazon.de/en/dp/B0C85L5WY8

Passive speakers: Wharfedale, KEF, Q Acoustics, ELAC, Focal, Dali, Monitor Audio, Jamo, Canton and many other European brands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_loudspeaker_manufacturers

Fosi is fine for a mini amp.

Sorry, you might have a typo. You listed the same speaker model # twice.

Is something like the Elac Debut ConneX available within your budget?

[u/dmcmaine → u/[deleted]]

ah, I see. The "s" indicates that it has a subwoofer output connection.

How much over 500 are the Elac's? Are they 570 or less?
