hi, im really a newb in this audio thing, ive read your discussions above and at some part im blanked.. im also looking to get a 2.0 setup, i have 2 models in mind the Edifier R1280T / R1600TIII . its for a desktop setup. well most likely ill be going for the R1600TIII, but my concern is, im currenly using a 2.1 setup ($100 Hibikii brand HS302 - i dont think you all heard of it) .. will 2.0 setup be better in terms of SQ? Main usage will be music/videos.

Can 2.0 beat 2.1 subwoofer bass? Im not a techno lover, but i like deep warm bass... hope to get some enlightenment from the sifus here. thanks in advance..

you've got a point. even my current sub is 5.25" . im quite happy with it, just that i find 2.0 speaker units are nice looking. if RM300-400 range of 2.0 speakers cant be nicer sounding than a 2.1 i guess ill stick with 2.1 at the moment.

yeap, its about 3xx near 400. whats the difference compared to R2500.. price range very near.. seems like both also dont have treble and bass knobs to play with.. lol semakin lama getting bigger size, dunno table can fit or not..

assuming getting a 5.0" 2.0 speaker. will it be better than having a 2.1 with 5" sub woofer? in a 2.0 setup you'll have 2x 5.0" , in terms of bass... plus i guess Edifier have some technology to dampen the sound.. MDF wood or something. and most RM100-RM200 2.1 speakers will usually come with plastic..

okok thanks ktek.. should be able to fit kua.. the most need to relocate the things on my table..
