While memory prices are certainly extremely high, you can still save money elsewhere while building a PC using discounted parts. We have been covering them here at Neowin, and these have included a 27-inch Predator OLED gaming monitor from Acer, a Corsair 4000D airflow case, and an Edifier R1280Ts bookshelf speaker (only for a very limited time).
Aside from the 1280Ts, Edifier also has its MR3 powered studio monitor speaker at a low price of just $100 (purchase link under the specs table down below). As this is a studio monitor, Edifier promises that the MR3 produces a "flat frequency response from 52Hz to 40kHz".

While we can not hear above 20kHz and most middle-aged men struggle beyond even 10kHz, some believe the extended high frequency response can create a level of "airy"-ness in the sound, and this is also why audiophiles often prefer having a super-tweeter to go along with a tweeter.
In terms of differences between the 1280Ts and the MR3, the former can handle more power though it obviously will not be able to output as flat a response. However, it is more versatile for bass as it carries a subwoofer-lineout port for adding an active subwoofer to increase low frequency response.
