If you are currently hunting for a good quality smart speaker, Bose has its bucket-shaped Smart Portable Speaker model at its lowest price. While the discount on the white variant has expired, the black one is still up for grabs. Find the details about the speakers and the purchase link in this dedicated article. Bose also has its Bass Module wireless subwoofer (also black) for its lowest price on sale right now. Amazon claims just three are left in stock at the time of writing so order soon if you are looking for one. Find the details and purchase link in its dedicated piece here.
However, you may be after a different kind of speaker, perhaps you are looking for something for your PC, to upgrade the audio as you may be owning tiny satellites that do not do justice to the mids and especially the highs, due to the lack of a dedicated tweeter. In that case, Edifier has its 1280Ts model on sale for its lowest price at the moment making it a very good item worthy of consideration (purchase link under the specs table down below).
While you will not get deep sub-bass from the 1280Ts, you should get clearer vocals and highs like cymbals, if you own a cheaper satellite-based 2.1 system now. Obviously the soundstage and imaging will also improve due to the better reproduction of highs.
The Edifier R1280Ts does not need a separate amplifier as it is an active or powered system with its own amplification. A great thing about this model is that you can add a separate active subwoofer to it too using the "sub out" option, which essentially acts like an LFE. This way, you can add in the missing deep bass.
The technical specifications of the Edifier R1280Ts are given in the table below:
