Recently we have had some great deals on bookshelf speakers which have included gear for home use as well as studio monitors for pro usage. Sadly while those deals are dead you still have the chance to grab some excellent-sounding bookshelf speakers for yourself as the Klipsch R-51PM and Edifier R1280DB are currently priced at their lowest. The former is a limited-time offer only so you may need to act fast (purchase link under the specs table down below). Both systems are active which means no external amplification is needed to power them.
First up we have the R-51PM. The speaker features 5.25-inch woofers that the vendor claims to go as low as 49 Hz. It also comes with a sub out option in case you want to hook it up to an active subwoofer for more oomph in the sub-bass region.
The R1280DB is also similar to it feature-wise though it does not have a sub-out option. Both of them are two-way bookshelf speakers with a tweeter and mid-bass woofer so expect great clarity and soundstage from them.
